Sources for name due to similarity to five pointed star

[edit]

Here are two sources for the name of the molecule being related to the shape:

  • "...Sessler, on the other hand, designed his Texaphyrin, for which a patent is pending, in the shape of a two-dimensional Frisbee with a five-point Lone Star in the middle of it."[1]
  • "The road to texaphyrin wasn't easy. After months of fruitlessly trying to make the ... a new five-lobed porphyrin shaped like the star on the Texas flag. ..."Science journal online[2] - registration required.Johntex\talk 04:34, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And wouldn't this be shaped like any regular, five pointed star, such as those on the US Flag, or even on the flag of the former USSR or that of Communist China? 69.29.207.109 (talk) 02:07, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
