What does TOLANE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A colourless crystalline solid valued in liquid-crystal chemistry, built from two benzene rings bridged by a triple bond.
Tolane belongs to the same broader family of compounds as acetylene, sharing its central triple bond between two carbon atoms, but with a phenyl ring attached to each end instead of the hydrogen atoms found in acetylene itself. Chemists first produced tolane artificially, and it appears today mainly in laboratory synthesis and in research into liquid crystal materials, where related tolane derivatives are valued for their stable, rod-shaped molecular structure. The compound is also known by its systematic name diphenylacetylene.
