Oklahoma High School Student Discovers That Carbon Can Form 7 Bonds
- gus_massa 9y agoThe link to the research paper is broken. The correct one is https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00894-018-3640-9 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00894-018-3640-... For some reason the press article cut the image and put the two uninteresting isomers in the image labeled "In unusual situations carbon can form more than four bonds". The research article has also the interesting one. It's an interesting result, they proved (in simulations) that the isolated molecule is stable. But it look like it will ret with whatever molecule is nearby, so I don't expect many applications.
