Could this be a molecular structure
« on: January 26, 2016, 11:07:32 AM »
My friend was drawing random chemical bonds and may have discovered something.

So far cyclobutadiene derivatives are stabilized in argon matrix or through complexex eg C4H4Fe(CO)3.

I think I see two trivalent carbon atoms.

So do I. Formally structure is correct. Thial (CHS) group is extremely reactive, and as I previously mentioned cyclobutadienyl grup is extremely unstable.

In theory it is correct, it even has a name 2-(cyclobuta-1,3-dien-1-ylcarbonothioyl)-4-thioxo-2-(2-thioxoethyl)butanal, but it has so many highly unstable groups that it is most likely impossible to synthesize.

Chemists do it periodically on table.

Besides, just drawing some correct combination of atoms hardly counts as "discovery".

It is not that difficult to write a program that will generate infinite number of such structures. Would you call its output "discoveries"?
