CYCLIC COMPOUND

In organic chemistry, a 'cyclic compound' is one in which a series of carbon atoms are connected together to form a loop or ring. Benzene is a well known example.
The term "polycyclic" is used when more than one ring is combined in a single molecule, and the term "macrocycle" is used for a ring containing more than a dozen atoms.
