'''2005''', 3391–3414 {{DOI|10.1002/ejoc.200500231}}</ref> The name is derived from the similarly structured ]s which lack one ring. Triapentafulvalene ('''3''') is also known as '''calicene''' as in calix or ] because of its wine-glass appearance.

In general, the parent fulvalenes are very unstable and for instance the parent triafulvalene ('''1''') has not even been synthesized. On the other hand stable fulvalenes can be obtained by proper ] or ]. Several members should be stabilized taking into account a dipolar ] with for instance pentaheptafulvalene '''4''', which can be thought of as a ] joined to a ] anion (both stable and ]). In this compound the dipolar structure is calculated to contribute 23% to the total structure.
