Dioxin has come into the news recently, having been found in Irish Pork. Dioxin has terrible effects. But what a pretty molecule. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! or less colourfully, Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I think there's something elegant about all molecules when expressed in 2d, like the bottom image there. One of my favourites: Vitamin B12 Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Ah yes, some classics there. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I happen to know of a website where these structures are listed, but I'll wait to see if anyone else has any suggestions first.
Aww, ya beat me to it. For the 'unenlightened' there's an old chem geek joke around nomenclature that goes: If this is Pyrrole: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! And this is Phosphole: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Then what's this: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Here's another couple: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Then there's cummingtonite and curious chloride.

Go here: http://www.peregrineinc.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=42 and see why I too am excited by this molecule. (I think Peregrine is a great buy now - Just got 5 million plus conditional 5 more and have 8+million in cash to continue programs. They do not make big deal about it, but some are in Russia and India. Also now has shareholder's approval for inverse stock split, which will solve their 'de-listing problems.)
