  "term": "Paddlanes",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Tricyclic saturated hydrocarbons in which two bridgehead carbon atoms are joined by four bridges, giving a shape like a paddle wheel when viewed along the axis through the bridgeheads. They are named paddlanes with four numbers, m, n, o and p, giving the number of carbons in each bridge, and they become propellanes when one bridge has zero carbons, leaving only three bridges.",
