A theoretical study of Li90 P90 , which possesses a circular double-helix structure that resembles the Watson-Crick DNA structure, is reported. This is a new bonding motif in inorganic chemistry. The calculations show that the molecule might become synthesized and that it could be a model for other inorganic species which possess a double-helix structure.
