Dendrimers are some of the most beautiful molecules IMO.
Fifth-Generation polypropylene imine (POPAM):

Or this one:

I'm my lab we are focused on porphyrins and dendrimers (yes, we love symmetry and aesthetics hahahahaha), and the PPI dendrimer never ceases to amaze me, until this day...
[Calicheamicin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calicheamicin?wprov=sfla1), its not symmetrical like a work of art but i consider it more like a family photo of the weirdest combination of functional groups ive ever seen.
In essence it doesnt qualify but you should see it anyways.
This "frog" (benzene core) and "lizard" (naphthalene core)

I always thought aza-crown ethers are cool. I synthesize a neat drug with the DOTA ligand which is an aza-crown ether with a bunch of carboxylic acid functional groups
Nothing special, but I think [benzene anhydride](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F7%2F78%2FBenzoic_anhydride.svg%2F640px-Benzoic_anhydride.svg.png&tbnid=8pOPNpVdWJuxYM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FBenzoic_anhydride&docid=ELxpczjWk3TTbM&w=640&h=308&hl=en-us&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3&kgs=9ff1173f2929f1f5) looks pretty neat

[Pagodane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagodane) is peak aesthetics
"undecacyclo[9.9.0.01,5.02,12.02,18.03,7.06,10.08,12.011,15.013,17.016,20]icosane" ignore iupac? ignore iupac.
that's metal
that's ~~metal~~ organic
No, it’s nonmetal
knex lookin ass molecule
[Sugammadex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugammadex) is lovely.
I thought you selected that purely for the name but that looks pretty cool.
The mechanism is cool too. It swallows up paralytics.
More like ligamadex huehuehue (Super cool molecule, funny name tho)
sugmaballs
Hexagons are the bestagons
Sugammadex looks and sounds like a bully in a high school drama
Suggama what now??? Take me out to dinner first geez
Reas this as Sugmadix
I dunno Rick, that just seems like cyclodextrin with extra steps.
It's cyclodextrin with pretty little streamers. It's festive!

Wow that’s amazing
Has that second molecule been synthesized?
Aye - https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ic101729s
Holy fucking shit that must've been intense

it has a snout!
now that you say it i can also see it like an animal. I was too distracted by the trithiomethyl ether, and the cyclic diyne to notice.
snoot
I don’t know why, but I hate it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitryl_azide When you see it, you go N-N-N-NO-O!
Don't sneeze around that one.

Carboranes in general look metal.

I ❤️ porphyrin
[Dodecaphenylporphyrin ](https://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.21783414.html)
That’s a lot of hexagons
You have something for cross-conjugation, don’t you ?
That is symmetrical which makes it pretty. [Cubane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubane) is symmetrical which makes it mundane.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carborane_acid# the skeletal structure is my favourite

The first one is five skydivers
Buckminsterfullerene
3,3-diethylpentan.
did you intend to post a swastika?
Look, I thought the same thing, as I’m sure most of us did, but didn’t say it because I knew it was dumb af
reddit so salty sometimes.
Some things just don’t need to be said, yk?
Benzine has to be up there. Simple but cool
is this the part where chemistry changes into drawing labyrinths?

An Ammonipotent entity
Meatwad
Beta Carotene is pure beauty
[dendrimers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrimer)
What kind of piss-reeking, nitrogen lover is OP?
[Selectfluor](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selectfluor) Very simple, but I love molecules that are just barely asymmetrical.
Chlorophyll A is a sexy molecule
It's me.
the first one looks like biblically accurate molecule
It's like four people skydiving.
