An alternative or European spelling variant of cycloolefin, referring to the same cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon compound.
Variant spelling of cycloolefin using -ine instead of -in, more common in European chemical nomenclature. Both forms emerged simultaneously in polymer chemistry literature in the 1980s.
Chemical naming is inconsistent because scientists in different countries published their discoveries independently—'olefin' vs 'olefine' is one of many spelling battles in chemistry.
