That means nothing. If they had half-lives measured in "merely" millions of years, they would decay to nothing on astronomical timescales. If the whole Earth had originally been composed at formation of a superheavy element with a 130-million-year half-life, not a single atom of it would remain by the present day.

And such nuclides would likely be synthesized in incredibly miniscule amounts compared to other elements and isotopes, because of the extreme difficulty of cramming that many neutrons onto an atom at once, the extraordinarily high fusion energy, and the fact that it would have to be fused from extremely rare heavy elements such as uranium.

Surprisingly not.

>But hold on. At first glance, this structure is terrifically unappealing, unless your chemical sensibilities are bent the right way, in which case, there's not much hope for you. The beast has eight nitrogens in a row, which I believe ties the current record. What's startling about the compound is that it's weirdly stable: it doesn't decompose until nearly 194 degrees C, which is quite bizarre. You'd think, by looking at it, that it would hop up and do its big death scene at about one-tenth that temperature. I mean, I've made potential drug candidates that fell apart at lower temperatures than that. (The amount of electron delocalization this compound has probably keeps its personality from coming through).

>The other odd thing about this one is that it changes color on exposure to light. That central double bond will flip around to cis instead of trans, which changes the color of the crystals from yellow to blue. (I remember making a photochromic compound of this sort in an undergrad experiment, which I believe was some sort of Chichibabin pyridine thingie; it sure as heck wasn't this!) Exposing this sort of structure to UV light also isn't the first thing I'd want to do, either - the fact that it'll reversibly go through a transition like that also points to its mild, friendly nature.

>I can't even decide whether to put this in the "Things I Won't Work With" category at all, since it looks like I could not only work with it, but beat on it with a ball-peen hammer. What kind of polyaza compounds are people turning out these days, anyway?

Not that it's that hard to recognize be honest, I don't know of any other biologically relevant molecules that use cobalt.

Funny thing about this one is that it's reversibly photochromic just like azobenzene.

I mean who even thought of shining UV on something that's horrendously explosive?

Yeah, buckyballs are so based that scientists had to create a new system nomenclature just for them.

Well, they certainly have a very low pKa, not sure about how caustic they are though. pKa doesn't necessarily determine reactivity, HF being the prime example.

carboranes are trash as are bucky balls
