it is about a unique molecule.......so please don't delete it.

This is a nonexisting compound, the CAS link points to an empty page, it should be removed, the properties disclaimer in the chembox should go as well in order to avoid confusion V8rik (talk) 21:43, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The last thing is a funny one, indeed. We don't have a possibility to get rid of that. The CAS at the moment indeed links to an empty page, but that does not mean it is incorrect (someone with access to the paper version?).

Regarding properties .. it still has a molecular formula and a molecular weight, so I would agree with that as well. (Many of) the other properties are unlikely to be measured, indeed. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 21:50, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The CAS number is accurate according to Chemical Abstracts. I restored molecular formula and a molecular weight to the chembox too. They are relevant whether the compound has been made before or not. And are we sure that this compound will never be made anyway? There are plenty of references in the primary literature to theoretical calculations pertaining to this compound - will no one ever try to determine them experimentally? -- Ed (Edgar181) 21:57, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
