I am Looking for a green color molecule less than 3 angstrom in size

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for green-colored molecules smaller than 3 angstroms in size. The user initially mentions Cr2O3 but notes it exceeds the desired size at 3.5 angstroms. Suggestions include exploring metal chlorides, oxides, and disulfides, particularly focusing on vanadium and titanium. The user attempts to estimate molecular sizes based on cubic assumptions using mass and volume calculations, arriving at a size of approximately 2.8 angstroms for water. They reference "Structural Inorganic Chemistry" by Wells as a definitive source for green inorganic molecules and provide a comprehensive list of potential candidates, including various chromium, iron, nickel, and vanadium compounds. The discussion emphasizes the need for accurate size data and encourages further research into green molecules of interest.

I am Looking for a green color molecule less than 3 angstrom in size...

I have found Cr2O3 but its greater than 3.5 angstrom... so anything smaller will do the job :)

Thanks in advance.

I don't have size lists, but several metal chlorides and oxides and disulphides are green, try Vanadium and Titanium for the less exotic ones.

If you can do some size research I can make a green list.
 
Thanks studiot,

Actually I didn't find any size database either... so I am making guesses by assuming the molecules are cubic in shape; so its length = CubeRoot (Mass/Volume) :p

I checked it with water & it wasn't bad;
Mass of molecule= 3x10^-23 gm
Density = 1 gm/cm^3
hence V= m/D = 3x10^-23 cm^3
taking the cuberoot = 3.1x10^-8 cm = 3.1 Angstom

The actual value is 2.8 Angstrom on its longest side!

I have bond length tables.
Of course you need the bond angles then.

The definitive work is
