Testosterone and Estrogen. Nanoputian. NanoPutians are a series of organic molecules whose structural formulae resemble human forms.[1] James Tour et al.
(Rice University) designed and synthesized these compounds in 2003 as a part of a sequence of chemical education for young students.[2] The compounds consist of two benzene rings connected via a few carbon atoms as the body, four acetylene units each carrying an alkyl group at their ends which represents the hands and legs, and a 1,3-dioxolane ring as the head. Tour and his team at Rice University used the NanoPutians in their NanoKids educational outreach program. WebElements Periodic Table of the Elements.

Arsole Yes, believe it or not, there is actually a molecule called Arsole... and it's a ring!
It is the arsenic equivalent of pyrrole, and although it is rarely found in its pure form, it is occasionally seen as a sidegroup in the form of organic arsolyls. For more information, see the paper with probably the best title of any scientific paper I've ever come across: "Studies on the Chemistry of the Arsoles", G.
