Cyclooctatetraene is an anti-aromatic hydrocarbon with 8 delocalized p-electrons that adopts a non-planar boat conformation with polyolefin-like behavior. Cyclooctatetraene is used in liquid state organic dye lasers, and as a triplet state qunecher to reduce dye blinking. It has the ability to fluoresce.Cyclooctatetraene is used as a reactant in the synthesis of tricyclo[4.2.2.02,5]dec-9-ene-3,4,7,8-tetracarboxylic acid diimide.
