We don’t have no stinkin’ shortage, not while we have Titan! I can see ExxonGulfBPAramco sending settlers to Titan to set up the ultimate service station for space ships needing gas…or even Space Tankers headed back to Earth with a million tons or so of fuel.

BTW, 1) Kekule claimed he was inspired by a dream of six carbon atoms holding hands and dancing to research if that was the structure of Benzene – it was, six atoms interlocked into a six sided ring 2) US Army’s Chemical Corps insignia is a Benzene Ring on Crossed Retorts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_Corps#/media/File:Chemical_Branch_Insignia.svg
3) A similar structure to a Benzene Ring, but using Iron atoms instead of Carbon is known to chemists as a Ferrous Wheel

In this case, following the link, it seems as if the ‘co-crystal’ is interstitial and not substitutional.
Either way, I would like to invest in this Lake Side Beach Front property.
