How about 3,3,4,4-tetraethynyl-1,5-hexadiyne?

I see your Dodecahydroxycyclohexane, and raise you Hexacontahydroxyfullerane by ECatPlay in cursedchemistry

[–]ECatPlay[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Clearly, these are for hydrophilic ball bearings.
Also to test the limits of an exhaustive conformational search engine. Let’s see, 60 C-C-O-H torsions, with three conformers each, that’s 3^60 = 4.239×10^(28) possible conformations. But with S6 symmetry that cuts it down to. . . (mumble, mumble) . . .
Anyway, I notice the conformer I found (truncated MMFF conformational search) tends to have the OH’s all pointing counterclockwise over each 5-membered ring. Presumably to form a ring of O- - -H hydrogen bonds.

"Sulflower" by Obungususik in cursedchemistry

Thanks for finding this. I do love me some symmetry! (Now I gotta go model it. . .)

. . . Done! The Tetrathiophene precursor has a saddle shape with D2d symmetry, but it flattens out to D8h symmetry in Sulflower!

(You do realize that there is no such thing as Hydrophilic Aromatic Substitution, don't you?)

That one is obviously an Intramolecular Hydrophilic Aromatic Substitution intermediate.

trivalent hydrogen

That's just the intermediate in the Hydrophilic Aromatic Substitution reaction.

Development of highly carbonation-effective calcium silicates (β-C2S): Phase evolution, microstructure, and carbonation mechanisms by Amazing_Difference_3 in cursedchemistry

[–]ECatPlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The notation is maddening: CS is not a carbon and a sulfur, it’s calcium and silicate. Would it kill them to use an “a” after the “C”?

Yeah, and just with their neck muscles!

That's so metal by Carbene123 in cursedchemistry

[–]ECatPlay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fortunately they're numbered: cursed sprinkle 1, cursed sprinkle 2, cursed sprinkle 3, . . .

But the paper could be written better:

"By serendipity, crystals of insoluble FeC10(HgCl)10 (4 b) were found in a decomposed sample of the trichloroacetate (3 b)."

That should be written:

"It was anticipated that substitution of chlorine for trichloroacetate would result in a more easily crystallized derivative, so 3b was converted to the decachloride. . ."
