Cubane molecule
Cubane molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of cubane (C8H8). Atoms are represented as colour-coded spheres (carbon, grey; hydrogen, white) with the bonds between them as sticks. Cubane is a synthetic hydrocarbon that was only thought to be able to exist in theory until it was synthesised in 1964 at the University of Chicago. The 90 degree bonding angle of the carbon atoms in the molecule means they are highly strained. This along with it being the densest hydrocarbon enables it to store a large amount of energy, which could make it useful as a fuel or explosive

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a Cubane molecule, represented through a computer model. The molecular composition of this synthetic hydrocarbon, consisting of eight carbon and eight hydrogen atoms (C8H8), was initially believed to exist only in theory until its successful synthesis at the University of Chicago in 1964. The image beautifully illustrates the Cubane molecule's unique characteristics. Each atom is depicted as a color-coded sphere, with carbon atoms shown in grey and hydrogen atoms in white. The sticks connecting them represent the bonds between these elements. Notably, the carbon atoms are arranged at an unusual 90-degree bonding angle, resulting in significant strain within the molecule. Due to its dense nature and high energy storage capacity, Cubane holds immense potential as both a fuel source and an explosive material. Its density surpasses that of any other hydrocarbon compound known to date. This crystal-clear visual representation highlights its cubic shape along with shadows adding depth to the artwork. Beyond its scientific significance, this photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress in chemical engineering. By defying previous assumptions about theoretical molecules, researchers have paved new paths for exploration within organic chemistry.
