... 1) 1964. WA Little: organic exciton-coupled superconductor. Calculated Tc is 23,000 K. Unreasonable molecule. DOI:10.1103/PhysRev.134.A1416
... 2) 1976 WA Little: exciton coaxial cable polymer. OK, but impossible to synthesize. DOI:10.1103/PhysRevB.13.4766
... 3) 2015 ADMET (olefin metathesis) synthesize via 2,3-diaryl-1,3-butadienes. Should we?
Software affords 3D structure and assembly energy (positive, for atoms bump and bonds are strained). For a polyacetylene core 22-mer hanging 44 9-anthracenyl groups: +752.6 kcal/mole. Explosive decomposition.
The structure below, stereogram, as a 22-mer solves to MINUS 771.0 kcal/mole. Is it a Little exciton really high temperature supercon polymer? "Little was a crackpot." Physics is a theoretic scoundrel. LOOK, then decide.
