🎃Behold FrankenPumpkin!🎃
I filled a flat-bottom flask with chlorophyll extracted from algae.🦠 UV light produced the red fluorescence. Jordan Tanen drew the pumpkin face.🖊️

Maybe #chemsky should revive #realtimechem week?
It would be this upcoming week, with mole day on Thursday, right?

Hey #chemsky,
Is #realtimechem week a thing on bluesky?
I just had a memory pop up from like 10 years ago and it made me super sad. We had something so good!

A structure of a calixarene with ACN attached. Colleagues were expecting structures (in plural form) of this calixarene with different ligands, but ACN binds too well, not letting other guests. So we have we few datasets for the same ACN structure.

I was surprised to find that this compound was not known yet (structure of it).
Also true: "I was surprised to find this compound".

Excited chemists (this first sample for a student): we have crystals for you!
Weeell, nice, but it is not exactly my favorite size... A microscope slide for scale.
And while the unit cell looks orthorhombic, integration results say that it is rather not.

Hi #realtimechem folk. I'm looking to add some diversity to my referee suggestions for a chemical demonstration paper (think fire and smoke) for a chem ed journal. Do you have any colleagues that enjoy fireballs from an academic and educational perspective? #diversitymatters

Latest paper: Ancient Alchemy in the Classroom: A Honey-Based, Deflagrating Pyrotechnic. This came from our "Chemistry of Fireworks" event supported by @inspiringaus @RACI_HQ & @UTas_.

Ancient Alchemy in the Classroom: A Honey-Based, Deflagrating Pyrotechnic
A simple, honey-based pyrotechnic demonstration is presented. The demonstration has been derived from alchemical writings and highlights the importance of alchemical preparations on the development of gunpowder, chemistry, and the scientific method. The demonstration involves the combustion of mixtures of honey, potassium nitrate, and sulfur which were observed to burn with brilliant flame, heat, smoke, and sound. The combustion was rapid, visually attractive, and surprising to chemist and nonspecialist viewer alike.

Really inspiring hearing @UOW student Lily share her story with a room full of academics. First in family, learning to navigate uni, and it was an environmental chemistry class that hooked her. #ThisisUOW #ecrchat #WomenInSTEM #RealTimeChem

Assembly complete. This is a representation in paper, of the diamond structure (if atoms were octahedra). It is observed for the group 14 elements; carbon, silicon, germanium and tin.
