Yes, but azulene (C10H8) is stable. It is a blue crystal at standard pressure and temperature. If it exists as this, then it has a density. I have searched the NIST webbook and countless msds and even my college library. None of them state azulene's density.
Prismane (C6H6) is a highly strained hydrocarbon that resembles a prism in structure. It has been formed as a liquid, so it should also have a density and heat of formation.
I have seen the heat of formation of fulvene (C6H6) gas, which infers that it has some stability about it. I would expect it to be more stable than prismane, because it has less angle strain and it also has double bond conjugation. If they can make fulvene gas, then fulvene liquig should also be obtainable, considering that liquids contain less kinetic energy that might destroy molecules than gases do.
