General description
Cyclopentene is a cyclo-olefin. Neopentyl phosphine ligand catalyzed Heck coupling of cyclopentene has been reported. Mechanism of reaction of ground state oxygen atom with cyclopentene has been investigated. Homopolymerization of cyclopentene has been reported. Photocatalytic oxidation of cyclopentene over various titanium(IV) oxide catalyst has been reported.
Application
Cyclopentene was used to investigate the [2+2] cycloaddition of diamond (001) surfaces with alkene.

The reaction mechanism of the ground state oxygen atom O((3)P) with cyclopentene is investigated theoretically. The triplet and singlet potential energy surfaces are calculated at the CCSD(T)//MP2/6-311G(d,p) level and the minimum energy crossing points (MECPs) between the two surfaces are
