cyclomethane

It's an impossible structure in organic chemistry, along with cycloethane. The lowest cyclic structure is cyclopropane. For all the non-chem people, think about it like this. There's no polygon with 1 side or 2 sides. The polygon with the lowest number of sides is a triangle with 3 sides.
