Couldn’t resist. In a more standard form this molecule should (I believe—chemistry has been a long time ago) look like this:

Made with MolView –https://molview.org/?smiles=C%28%5BC%40%5D%28CC%29%28C%29C%28CC%29%5BC%40%5D%28CC%29%28CC%29%5BC%40%40%5D%28C%28C%29C%29%28CC%29CCCC%29C

People knowledgeable in chemistry, please correct!
