Chicken chemistry 101 a halogenation reactions. #chemsky
In the first reaction scheme a cartoon chicken is being treated with chlorine. On the left side of the equation the chicken is saying “uck, uck, uck”. On the right aside it is saying “cluck cluck cluck”. In the second reaction scheme, the chicken is saying “uck uck uck”. It is treated with fluorine and there is a question mark on the right hand side of the equation asking what the chicken would be saying.

On this day in 1879, Maud Menten was born in Port Lambton, Ontario. In her work as a medical researcher, she became a leading expert in histochemistry and enzyme kinetics while fighting against sexism in her field. Let's learn more about her life! 🧵1/10

My new side project with an UG student has lots of nice colours in the series. Orange/red, deep blue, and now this dark green. Now to scale up for the next step to make neutral radicals. If all goes well, EPR and 15N labelling are in my future.
Two nmr tubes held in a gloved hand against a white background. The one on the left side contains a deep green coloured solution and the one on the right side contains a colourless solution.
