Cyclopropenone is an organic compound with molecular formula C₃H₂O consisting of a cyclopropene carbon framework with a ketone functional group. It is a colorless gas.^[1] The chemical properties of the compound are dominated by the strong polarization of the carbonyl group, which gives a partial positive charge with aromatic stabilization on the ring and a partial negative charge on oxygen.
