Surely a Chromcatogram?

He hasn't hooted at all since before midnight that I know of, but never fear, it's 0451 and the owl is now hoot-shouting around the neighbourhood like he was born to do 🥱🦉

I had the same experience with an owl at my old job, which had woodlands at the back that I'd cycle home through. An owl went right over my head, completely silent but so close I could actually feel the air from the wings! So impressive

In this case, the different tautomers should give the same atom numbering.

It occurs to me that the owl has almost certainly peeked into my bedroom window ("his" tree is immediately outside), and I don't know how to feel about that 😂

Amazing! He just flew right over my head! We are definitely friends again now, that was super cool 🦉 the boy is fast!

He's started hooting already tonight. Really hope this means he will finish early too, because he keeps waking me up at any point until 0430... 🫩😂🦉

Problem for me is I basically need/want robust atom numbering for a molecule or complex (preferably any representation - but let's say for now the representations are always written with the same bonding...), but not sensitive to tautomers which I think Morgan is

I mean, I was reading this presentation for a reason (transition metal complex-related), and my conclusion afterwards was "use InChI numbering". Albeit with its also having some but fewer remaining flaws, as you know

Haha ngl I am a big fan of SFC. So many times it gave me great separation when kids of LC methods let me down and GC was no good either. For chiral it was always the first port of call at my previous job

It's notable btw that while in the UK it's not normal to do different subjects alongside your field of study (because we go to a higher level in high school), the only other subjects I was offered were languages. You could do German, Spanish, & others, but takeup was low. Dunno if they still do it!

I'm not entirely sure why, but at one point in the history of one of the Azerbaijani chemistry journals, those were the acceptable languages of publication. (Or at least, that's what my library had them down as!)

Only once did I have to go to the library to get an Actual Paper On Actual Paper. The system told me ahead of time it would be in "English, French, or Azerbaijani" – my French is ok but I was so relieved when it was English!

I started beginner German 4 or 5 years ago as I worked closely with Switzerland; now I'm learning Swedish – both with conversational not science focus. I picked up a few scientific German words in grad school from papers (with Google Translate). Doing Latin in high school made things easier IMO.
