The aim of this book is to survey a number of chemical compounds
that chemists, both theoretical and experimental, find fascinating.
Some of these compounds, like planar carbon species or oxirene,
offer no obvious practical applications; nitrogen oligomers and
polymers, in contrast, have been touted as possible
high-energy-density materials. What unites this otherwise eclectic
collection is that these substances are unknown and offer a
challenge to theory and to synthesis. It is envisioned that this
collection of idiosynchractic molecules will appeal to chemists who
find the study of chemical oddities interesting and, on occasion,
even rewarding.
