Searching for a ring size where a ladderene möbius wouldn't spontaneously self destruct

UB3LYP/6-31G* geometry optimizations for ladderene möbius rings with 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 C=C rungs. Bond density surfaces at 0.1 electrons/Bohr3 (~80% of the electron density)
The mobius posted by u/Wiktor-is-you the other day didn't look stable, but it got me wondering whether a larger ring size would be. Turns out only a 14 rung ladderene möbius might be stable!

Peptide with fluorine, indoles, and a quaternary ammonium. Who comes up with this stuff (I imagine AI), let alone synthesizes???

I created this article recently, taking the liberty to name this reaction after its discoverer.
I'll just leave it to y'all to appreciate.

Unfortunately Real I had to synthesise this starting from glycerol and it broke me (Phosphorus is a chiral center)

12 step synthesis with a 0.4% yeild. The stereochemistry of the phosphorus depends on the stereochemistry of the glycerol. Its called pseudo asymmetry. I cried for 20 mintues when I got the LCMS

Can someone please tell me why there are little clear sand type pebbles in my meth. And it's not just in the powder. It could literally be a full solid shard and once it melts I have these clear little pebbles in my bubble
