What happens when organic chemists get snowed in during winter break? They draw molecular structures that would make your average undergrad cry. This monstrosity is what you'd get if a benzene ring had a midlife crisis and decided to reproduce exponentially. Sure, water molecules form beautiful hexagonal snowflakes in nature, but some chemist thought, "Not complex enough!" and created this phosphorus-nitrogen nightmare that would require its own chapter in a textbook. Good luck synthesizing this in the lab—you'd need three PhDs and a small country's research budget just to get started.
