Windowpane C9H12 gets its name from its resemblance to a set of windows, but unfortunately it has never been synthesised. But the version with a corner carbon missing C8H12 has been made, and goes by the name 'broken windowpane', or more accurately fenestrane. Interestingly, a hypothetical derivative of Windowpane has been suggested which includes a double bond, and this would of course be called Windowlene...
