Hope it’s ok to share my chemistry Instagram with a plastic model of Hexabenzocoronene (HBC) that was mentioned in the article.[1]
I posted similar photos of other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) including napthalene, which are also mentioned in the article. [2]
In all, I had about 10 posts on PAH’s for laypeople and chemists who want to admire the structure of these fascinating saturated planar hydrocarbons.
