alkilow
Alkilow is a fictional term used in speculative chemistry and science fiction to describe a hypothetical class of alkyl-bridged oligomeric structures. In imagined taxonomy, alkilows consist of hydrocarbon backbones formed from alkyl segments connected by a central flexible linker, yielding modular, tunable architectures. The name combines alkyl with a suffix used in fictional chemical nomenclature to denote a family.
In theoretical models, alkilows are described as having pronounced hydrophobic character, low polarity, and high conformational
No experimental synthesis or characterization of true alkilows exists in the real world; they are discussed
