But it hasn’t been synthesized yet. So all it is is a collection of plastic balls on sticks... and a Very Learned Paper.

exactly, I can tinker-toy quite a number of things but the geometry of the structure can not "comply" with the physics.

That said, I'd really like for it to be synthesized, no matter how impractical it may be.

Checking this story out a bit — I predict this molecule will never be built, unless this girl or a lover of hers eventually does it. The chemistry and chemical intermediates required would be incredibly difficult to choreograph.

Ping me if it does, and I will find an appropriate thing to do like eat my hat, etc.
