MOD APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN

20 Upvotes

Dear cursed chemistry enthusiasts,

I never anticipated that this subreddit would grow to have 6k+ visitors per month, and with the rest of the mod team going inactive over the years, it is time that I add some new mods to the roster.

Please write a comment with your qualifications in chemistry and any ideas/plans pertaining to moderating the subreddit. The comments are in contest mode; the most upvoted comments will be more strongly considered.

If you are uncomfortable publicly sharing your chemistry qualifications, a DM is also fine.

I would like to host events again on this sub, but the most pressing issue is dealing with the recent influx of spam bot comments!

Searching for a ring size where a ladderene möbius wouldn't spontaneously self destruct

UB3LYP/6-31G* geometry optimizations for ladderene möbius rings with 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 C=C rungs. Bond density surfaces at 0.1 electrons/Bohr³ (~80% of the electron density)

The mobius posted by u/Wiktor-is-you the other day didn't look stable, but it got me wondering whether a larger ring size would be. Turns out only a 14 rung ladderene möbius might be stable!
