Reply to comment by MurphysLab in Aromatic hexazine rings — [N₆]⁴⁻ — an all-nitrogen analogue of benzene, have finally been synthesized by researchers using high-pressure, laser-heated synthesis. The hexazine rings are present within a complex K₉N₅₆ structure containing [N₆]⁴⁻ and [N₅]⁻ rings as well as neutral nitrogen dimers. by MurphysLab

Thank you so very much for this. Beyond the pure beauty of it, the “what happens?”, I had no idea about the medical application and now can reverse engineer my knowledge of that field a little.

Fascinating to see the intersection, and I am grateful for you all for taking the time to show me.

Stay safe all of you, just watched the fairly inaccurate Radioactive movie about M Curie and don’t want any of you sleeping with glowing heterocyclic vials on your pillows!
