Ooo, thanks Snowy! I'm looking forward to hearing what he has to say!
I'm thinking it has applications in nanotechnology. Was reading up on Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene last night, which is a Hexaphenylbenzene derivative. Hexaphenylbenzene derivatives seem to form nanotubules with little prompting, and some turn into itty bitty electrical conductors when oxidized.
I'm wondering what else it has been used for. I would think that a melting point in the high 400's would be useful all over the place, but for the life of me I can't think why. Daniel_ started my mind moving though.
