Cyclooctadiene
For other uses, see Cod (disambiguation).
A cyclooctadiene (sometimes abbreviated COD) is any of several cyclic diene with the formula (CH2)6C2H2. Focusing only on cis derivatives, four isomers 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 metals. All of these dienes are colorless liquids.
