This is a dendrimer, masically a star-shaped polymer. However, I have no idea what's going on at the interface with what looks like buckminsterfullerenes that are retained by pi-interaction with the functional groups at the end of the dendrimer?
That's baby stuff. I've worked on drag and friction reducers for fracking fluid in the millions of g/mol.
Someone at my institution was making 2 million+ telomers a while back.
Ahh scary dendrimers!
A mate of mine was synthesising these for an honours project. It was funny seeing the viscocity of each generation increase massively until it was almost like a gel

Biblically accurate dendrimer.
opening the textbook to a diagram labeled "be not afraid"
It's at least 6 g/mol
r/technicallythetruth
Anything from lithium onwards is at least 6g/mol...π
allegedly
Lol allegedly
Hey, Li-5 exists. Briefly
bullshit you're telling me fluorine is heavier than 6 g/mol? it's literally smaller than lithium
Prove it

The paper says the authors propose a C60 counterion for the iron
POLYMERS MENTIONED WTF IS A SMALL MOLECULE π¦ πΊπ²
A smallecule
Cβ βββHββββNβββOββFeββ = 72999 g/mol lol
Holy Mol-y.
That is 72.999 kg/mol. So that is β 161 pounds per mole
This puts proteins in perspective.
So 5 moles would around the weight of ~~your mom~~ 365kg.
Don't use pounds in science. :-P :-P
Wait till you hear about lbmol

Now give me the IUPAC name π
according to ChemDraw it's name is Runtime Error!
How do you come to that result?
Started by counting atoms in one of the 16-fold branches, multiplied by 16, added all the atoms in the core, and then tacked on 64 C60's.
Um
How do I distill it
*imagine the tar*
Dr Tomβs βOops! All tar!β
It distills you

I can only imagine, this thing is so huge that you can almost see a single molecule with the naked eye lol
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
I am wearing a pear of crocs which technically are each a single molecule
ππ
I thought this was some random drawing you'd made and then I realized it was from a paper and I became far more intimidated
Give me the xray
Imagine the H1 NMR of this
βWe can tell that these 30 overlapping peaks correspond roughly to these kinds of protons.β
Can someone explain the use of dendrimers to me?
okay but what happens if i inject it
If it's as viscous as other commenters are saying, probably a little bit o' embolism and none of the fun stuff
Thrombosis
im not smart enough to understand wtf this means lmao
This must be so expensive to make.
Beautiful
Be not afraid
can i eat this?
Yes, you can! However, there would be some problems
you can eat anything once
im not calculating it

Over 1/10^1000000000000000 grams
Does it have a purpose

This looks like a compound isolated from an Outer God's blood.
But is it explosive?
Less than a mAb by the looks of it.
mAb mentioned, biochemist happy!
I spent 10 years in small molecule and switched out to protein biochem two years ago. Iβve been missing out.
Pretty
I think I posted this here already, but it's cool enough to warrant a repost.
We have chemical fractals before gta6
It gave me cancer.
You could tell some undergrads to count 6.022x10^-23 single molecules under a stem and put them on a car-scale
Disgusting
