What does this mean for synthesis? You just have to try a ton of times and get lucky? Is there some way to influence site substitution?

- syrgian 3y agoI'm guessing the diamagnetic property will make it easy to separate the successful bits from the unsuccessful ones at scale.

- appplication 3y agoI was a chemistry major, but didn’t take it up as a career so I won’t pretend to be an expert. There are a lot of tools in the chemist’s cookbook for dealing with exactly this sort of problem. It doesn’t mean it’s easy, but experienced chemists will understand how to approach solving this.

- sweezyjeezy 3y agoHave a friend who works in superconductivity and from what they say this is pretty standard - the way experimental superconductors are generally created is by spraying atoms onto a film over and over until you get one that works [< 10% success rate is common]. There are other ways to do it more reliably and in larger quantities once you have a confirmed superconductor, but they're also slower during the experimental stage.
