Pyramidal alkene

Pyramidal alkenes are alkenes in which the two carbon atoms making up the double bond are not coplanar with their four substituents. This deformation results from geometric constraints. Pyramidal alkenes only are of interest because much can be learned from them about the nature of chemical bonding.
