Cosmic coronene's phantom spectral bands 
Anomalies in the spectra of the aromatic planar molecule coronene can be explained with powerful calculations on infrared and Raman spectroscopic data. The evidence suggests that minute out-of-plane molecular distortions from D(6h) to C(2h) symmetry are the underlying cause. [February 1, 2010]
