Polycyclic compound

Longifolene, a terpene natural product, and an example of a tricyclic molecule.

Cholesterol, another terpene natural product, in particular, a steroid, a class of tetracyclic molecules.

Benzo[a]pyrene, a pentacyclic compound both natural and man-made.

Brevetoxin A, a natural product with ten rings, all fused, and all heterocyclic, and a toxic component associated with the organisms responsible for red tides. The R group at right refers to one of several possible four-carbon side chains (see main Brevetoxin article.

In the field of organic chemistry, a polycyclic compound is an organic chemical featuring several closed rings of atoms, primarily carbon. These ring substructures include cycloalkanes, aromatics-, and other ring types. They come in sizes of three atoms and upward, and in combinations of linkages that include tethering (such as in biaryls), fusing (edge-to-edge, such as in anthracene and steroids), links via a single atom (such as in spiro compounds), and bridged cyclics such as the longifolene example. Though poly- literally means "many", there is some latitude in determining how many rings are required to be considered polycyclic; many smaller rings are described by specific prefixes (e.g., bicyclic, tricyclic, tetracyclic, etc.), and so while it can refer to these, the title term is used with most specificity when these alternative names and prefixes are unavailable.
