Wow, someone pulled off that synthesis? I'm impressed!

For those who are wondering if this has any practical applications, the answer is almost certainly no. At best, someone might look at the synthetic pathways used to produce perfluorocubane to attempt to make something similar. It has really unusual spectroscopic and physical properties, which is pretty cool, but mostly in the sense of being a curiosity rather than being something you can do something with.

Imagine this as being the chemistry version of someone managing to get Doom to run on an electric toothbrush or something. It's interesting and amusing to know it's possible, but you're never actually going to start using your Sonicare for gaming.
