Interesting stuff
But it is goofy to talk about a new periodic table
The periodic table groups ‘elements’
Each element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus
The paper describes compounds that share electrons in a unique way, but there is no change in the nucleus

BTW - the periodic table is already three dimensional. Each element has different isotopes...different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus

Those were exactly my thoughts when I read the article - man, are you a geek!

Just kidding.

I have been eagerly anticipating the "island of stability" predicted by further stability of nuclei around Z=247.

Correct. I'm not sure what the 'Et' is in Co₆Se₈(PEt₃)₆.
