Hi all,

I was recently asked, by research chemists at the University of Edinburgh (and
their colleagues in Finland), to produce this rendering of their latest chemical
marvel: the world's first designer molecule in the shape of a pentafoil knot.
Their paper was published this week in the prestigious scientific journal Nature
Chemistry, and this rendering was meant to be the magazine's cover shot.
Unfortunately the magazine's art department had other ideas and this didn't make
the cover after all. But, it did make it into New Scientist magazine as part of
their interesting online (and hardcopy print) article:

The university is also making large format prints of my render to showcase the
molecule around campus and at various scientific conferences.

Cheers,
Rob
