[image: Ball-and-stick model of the phenanthrene molecule] Regarding phenanthrene as a catalyst.
See post http://e-catworld.com/2016/01/16/hexagonal-crystals-and-lenr-axil-axil/ The hexagon crystal; structure is special in LENR. In Rossi's waffer design, he uses a thin single crystal mica sheet on either side of his centrally located heater. Mica could make that waffer LENR capable. Holmlid uses graphite to form his Ultra dense hydrogen; Cravens uses graphite in his golden ball reactor. The crystal structure of Metallic water is hexagonal and is also LENR active. This hexagonal shaped magnetic lens produces a vortex of magnetic flux lines which interacts with the quarks in matter by dorming instantons as the fractional quantum hall effect does with electrons..
