MPM-1-Br unit cell

thingiverse

This is a 3x2x1 unit-cell of MPM-1-Br, a porous metal-organic framework with a cool honeycomb-type topology. It is the analog of MPM-1-Cl, which was made earlier: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja4054948. Each tiny sphere represents an atom. There are 7,174 atoms in the model. The longest axis (x, or a, in this case) is ~90 Angstroms long. That's roughly 10^-8 meters long. So about 400,000 of these nanostructures (the .stl model) could fit in a 4mm needle tip.
