This page is about small molecules that feature a lot of polycyclic elements.
Polycycles not just in in 2D but also (and perhaps predominately so) in 3D.
Preferably with no free rotational degrees of freedom in the molecule.

Examples

Spiroligomers

• 2D polycyclic
• no rotational degrees of freedom

Molecules close to adamantane in structure. These are close in nature to diamond. One proposal are adamantanes with corners substituted with boron sand or nitrogen.

• Either alternatingly wit four nitrigens and 4 borons
• Or all the same either all 8 substituted with nitrogen (adamanzane) or all 8 substituted with boron.

Misc

Aromatic polycyclic compounds are also often optically active and potentially of interest as basis for optically activated nanoscale actuators.
