Hookein
Hookein is a fictional chemical compound and material used in speculative science to imagine advanced energy storage and gas separation technologies. Described as a modular, hook-shaped organometallic network, Hookein is proposed to self-assemble into a porous framework with a high surface area suitable for sorption and catalysis.
Its proposed structure combines hook-like ligands with metal nodes to form three-dimensional networks analogous to metal-organic
In speculative literature and design studies, Hookein is envisioned for hydrogen storage, carbon capture, methane storage,
Production of Hookein is described in theory as a coordination-driven self-assembly process, often requiring templating agents
