A diagram of this molecule is needed.

Whoops, sorry... I was curious about this compound, and the first paper I found discussed the dianion, and I falsely assumed that's what "pentalene" referred to. Now I see the true structure of this molecule. I'll put up an image with it. Ed Sanville 06:06, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

The article is misleading in stating the molecule is "not fully aromatic." It has 8 pi electrons and is therefore antiaromatic.169.237.39.9 17:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
