epästoikiometrisinäkin

epästoikiometrisinäkin is a Finnish word that translates to "even non-stoichiometric" or "despite being non-stoichiometric." It is a comparative or concessive form of the word epästoikiometrinen, which means non-stoichiometric. This adjective describes chemical compounds that do not have integer ratios of constituent elements. In chemistry, stoichiometric compounds follow precise whole-number ratios, such as water (H2O) with a 2:1 hydrogen to oxygen ratio. Non-stoichiometric compounds, however, deviate from these ideal ratios, often due to defects in their crystal lattice, such as missing atoms or extra atoms occupying interstitial sites.

The word epästoikiometrisinäkin can be used in a sentence to indicate that a particular property or behavior is observed even when the compound is not perfectly stoichiometric. For example, one might say that a material exhibits unusual electrical conductivity epästoikiometrisinäkin, implying that its non-stoichiometric nature does not prevent this characteristic. This grammatical construction highlights a situation where a certain condition (being non-stoichiometric) might be expected to alter or prevent a phenomenon, but the phenomenon still occurs. It emphasizes the resilience or persistence of a property despite a deviation from ideal chemical composition.
