Project12Discovery of periodic tables for molecules

・Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) develop tables similar to the periodic table of elements but for molecules.
・Their approach could be used for predicting novel stable substances and creating useful materials.

  • デンドリマーを標準としてタンパク質(インスリン)の分子量を決定

    Orbital patterns for different structural symmetries
    The proposed model accounts for orbital patterns obeying certain rules for many types of symmetries. Although a sphere has the highest geometrical symmetry, there is no real polyatomic species with a spherical symmetry.

  • 単一分子量を示す分散のないGPCチャート

    A periodic table for various types of tetrahedral molecules
    In the proposed framework, there would be sets of tables for each type of symmetry organized according to four parameters: groups and periods (number of electrons), families (number of constituting atoms), and species (type of constituting elements).
