What does this structure represent?
« on: July 14, 2011, 12:02:14 PM »


I've gone through the entire chapter and can't find anything explaining what that L-shaped thing in the middle is. Is it a carbon joining the two sides?

It is a bicyclic molecule.

Might come up in later chapters.

In line with more of these cyclic typed structures another good one to look at is adamantane
