Focusing only on cis derivatives, four [[isomer]] are possible: 1,2, which is an allene, 1,3-, 1,4-, and 1,5-. Commonly encountered isomers are 1,3-cyclooctadiene and [[1,5-cyclooctadiene]], which is used as a ligand for [[transition metal]]s. ==References== *Angew.Chem. 1963, 75, 10, 165. *see [[1,5-Cyclooctadiene]] ==External links== [[Category:Cycloalkenes]] {{hydrocarbon-stub}}
