I recently ran across Benfey's alternate periodic table (1964) which is similar but more complete: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_periodic_tables

For sheer exuberance, how about the Railsback table? http://railsback.org/PT/815PeriodicTable48e02.pdf http://railsback.org/PT/815PeriodicTable48e02.pdf
- zksmk 4y agoI love Benfey's table. I find it the most intuitive to interpret at a glance at what's actually going on with the electrons and the filing of the orbitals (in the version where they're marked) around the nucleus. Might be just taste, but it's my fave.
