At #EuroMOF2025. The sheer number of MOFs named after uni/company, changing the number when only difference is metal ion used to make the MOF and name gives no indication what the chemical composition is from "xxMOF-n" shows that we need a standardised nomenclature desperately. #IUPAC #chemsky #MOFs

Today is #MenstrualHealthDay 🩸 To mark it, here's the second of my graphical collaborations with @periodically.bsky.social looking at the chemistry behind intrauterine devices and how they prevent pregnancy: wp.me/s4aPLT-iuds #ChemSky 🧪

Infographic on the chemistry of IUDs. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are among the most effective forms of birth control. These devices are inserted into the uterus and do not need to be replaced for several years. There are two types of IUD available: copper IUDs and hormonal IUDs. Copper IUDs slowly release copper ions into the uterine fluid, reducing the movement of sperm cells. Hormonal IUDs release a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone to prevent ovulation.

Alcohol-free beer chemistry is also available! www.compoundchem.com/2022/08/24/a...

Infographic on how alcohol-free beer is made. Definitions of alcohol-free beer vary in different countries, with some allowing small amounts of alcohol. Alcohol-free beers can be produced by avoiding fermentation entirely, but this can impact flavour. More common methods include dilution (where a concentrated beer is produced then diluted), dealcoholisation (where alcohol is removed via distillation or membrane filtration) or limiting the production of alcohol (by using specialised yeast or low fermenting temperatures).

It's #NationalBeerDay 🍻 Enjoy some of the chemistry behind the brewing while you watch the markets slide 📉 www.compoundchem.com/2014/07/10/b... #ChemSky 🧪

Infographic on the chemistry of beer. The top of the graphic identifies the major stages of beer brewing: milling, mashing, brewing, cooling, fermenting, and maturing. The rest of the graphic identifies four key components of beer flavour: alpha acids, beta acids, essential oils and esters. Alpha acids degrade during brewing and form iso-alpha acids, which contribute bitterness. Humulone is the main alpha acid in the majority of hops. Beta acids also originate from hops and add a harsher bitterness than alpha acids. Essential oils contribute the majority of hop flavour and aroma, and there are over 250 found in hops. Esters form during the reaction of alcohol with organic acids, and give fruity flavours.
