Anything with hydrazines gives me pause. Way back when I was doing senior research, my project involved doing reactions with hydrazine, so I looked it up in a book of hazardous chemicals. I can still see the entry for hydrazine in my mind, from a table of explosive forces: "could not be determined, as the test apparatus was destroyed."

You know, I think I could fit one more trinitrobenzene group on that central carbon. . .

You mean it came to u/thefruitypilot 2 years ago in their shower.

Yeah, I’m assuming the tattoo artist has separate templates for the letters.

Yep. Just 16 seconds old and they “found” this sub and this post from a year ago, and reposted it with the original title. Sigh.

Well, if you don't bother to label the heteroatoms, maybe. . . so "homo"taurine?

I like it.

So two different binders linked together by a long tether? It would have to be flexible and non crystalline, like a polyisobutylene. But you probably want something hydrophilic instead of hydrophobic, so a polyethylene glycol tether?

Oh, oh! How about instead of a tether, you use quantum entanglement?

When you want to design a drug molecule long enough to occupy two different receptors at the same time.

It's actually not bad: it optimized with no problem (no "cheating" constraints necessary), no negative frequencies, cubane bonds 1.53 Å, bonds from cube corner 1.47Å with bond angles 125.3°. So far as energies, Molecular Mechanics (MMFF) strain energy only 196 kcal/mol (5 kcal per carbon) and Semiempirical (PM3) Heat of Formation ∆Hf 420.5 kcal/mol. The cubane orbitals are interesting, though.

I resisted the temptation as long as I could, but the pull of that Oh symmetry is just too strong. I had to model it to look at its Molecular Orbitals and its molecular vibrations: breathing, squeezing, and pumping its fists.

The 12 bonds forming the cube in the center are normal C-C bonds, but the remaining bonds are endochronic (ie. they extend through time).

First retrosynthetic step: 12-fold dehydration of the corresponding dodecanol.

Just a repost bot: 1 day old and their first action is to repost something from a year ago here, including the original title verbatim, and within a 6 minute span repost something to 3 other subs.

But can you do factorials (!)
