I will approach this example of a molecule-of-the-year candidate – in fact the eventual winner in the reader poll – from the point of view of data. Its a metallocene arranged in the form of a ring comprising 18 sub-units.[cite]10.1038/s41586-023-06192-4[/cite] Big enough to deserve a 3D model rather than the static images you almost invariably get in journals (and C&EN). So how does one go to the journal and acquire the coordinates for such a model?
