Sydnones are mesoionicheterocyclic chemical compounds possessing a C5-oxygenated 1,2,3-oxadiazole core,[1][2][3] named after the city of Sydney, Australia. Like other mesoionic compounds they are dipolar, possessing both positive and negative charges which are delocalized across the ring.
Recent computational studies have indicated that sydnones and other similar mesoionic compounds are nonaromatic, "though well-stabilized in two separate regions by electron and charge delocalization."[5]
