Reagoineet

Reagoineet is a fictional class of reactive crystalline materials described in speculative science and science fiction. In these narratives, reagoineet combines inorganic clusters with organic linkers to form a lattice capable of rearranging its bonds in response to stimuli, yielding tunable conductivity, porosity, and energy storage characteristics.

The name is a portmanteau intended to evoke reactivity and mineral-like rigidity, with a suffix -ineet to suggest a mineral-like phase.

Its proposed structure features metal-oxide cluster nodes connected by flexible organic ligands, creating a dynamic network. Bond-exchange reactions enable reversible reconfiguration of the framework, allowing rapid adaptation to environmental conditions. Hypothetical properties include high charge storage density, rapid ion transport, and regenerative self-healing under mechanical damage.

Synthesis and evidence: No verified synthesis exists in real laboratories. Mentions of reagoineet appear in speculative papers and in speculative-fiction contexts as an exercise in adaptable materials design.

Applications and significance: In fiction, reagoineet serves as a model for smart materials that switch states, store energy, or self-heal. In discussions of materials science, it functions as a hypothetical target to explore challenges in dynamic networks, including stability, scalability, and safety.
