In @science.org this week, Harry Anderson's group finally put their cyclic carbon allotrope into solution. The, well, solution to getting it there? Protection by catenation--have a look!

We did some pretty twisted stuff and Science liked it: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Stereoisomers of C13Cl2 exhibiting helical orbitals around a ring of carbon atoms were synthesized by atom manipulation on NaCl surfaces. We resolved the enantiomeric geometries of the singlet states ...
🚨 All right, since this is a place of sanity now, let’s kick things off with an open PhD position in my team to work on simulating glycans and their interactions. If you’re passionate about computational biophysics and glycobiology, go ahead and apply! Any shares would be greatly appreciated. 🙃

Can I flip it? Yes you can!
Elusive pillar[5]arene conformation formed by flipping an aromatic ring with mechanical force!

This unusual half-Möbius molecule is the first example of a structure that becomes more aromatic as it becomes less symmetric.

Cyclo[N]carbons, molecular rings consisting solely of N carbon atoms, have previously been studied in the gas phase and on surfaces at cryogenic temperatures, but they are generally considered too rea...
