it's worth a try, is this not the same reaction that can be run in spearmint oil (menthone acting as a catalyst of sorts) ?
↑I now just see it replacing the cyclohexane in N-methylamp just as the buckminsterfullerene in the original post of the random molecule doodles thread.…
also, can we put a methylenedioxy on it somewhere??
It a porphyrinogenThe article where this colorful current density plot is from also lists some other curious aromatic rings, including that drawn below:
Does anyone know the name of this molecule? Other aromatics shown in the paper included a six-membered ring of alternating nitrogen and sulfur atoms, and some kind of atomic cluster made from sodium and mercury atoms.
Reading the article, it was excessively difficult to find whether that current density plot was an experimental or theoretical result (seemed to be calculated with density functional theory if I understood correctly).
You can get deep into a proper rabbit hole (reading wise) when it comes to porphyrinogens. Haha.Thanks, I was surprised to see that it's a biocompound.
…What is perhaps more surprising with regards to lithium is that different isotopes have been shown to have differing effects on the mothering behaviour of rats. A similar phenomenon has recently been recorded in the action of xenon, an anaesthetic. Na Li and colleagues at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, found that differing isotopes of xenon cause differing levels of unconsciousness (Anesthesiology 129 271). This seems extraordinary, that changing something as small as the spin of a nucleus might result in macroscopic changes on the level of something as complex as the mothering instinct or, indeed, consciousness itself.…
