Does hassocene or any super heavy molecule exist now that its been a few years?
And is ittime to update the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blacephalon (talk • contribs)
 * I can't find anything, all publications I can find on it are proposals that it should have the same structure as other group 8 metal analogues, like ferrocene and osmocene, but near as I can tell it has never been synthesized. It is also very unlikely to be, as Hassium has, at BEST, a half-life of about 10-15 seconds, making the isolation of stable organometallic compounds of it difficult.  Some compounds have been isolated, but they don't last long.  -- Jayron 32 12:38, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, ferrocene has a slightly different structure from osmocene. In ferrocene the rings are not aligned, whereas in ruthenocene and osmocene they are. Hassocene should follow osmocene, but as Jayron32 says, no one seems to have made it. Double sharp (talk) 14:15, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
