I've been working a lot on nitrile to aldehyde conversion reactions, which has allowed me to do some pretty vanadium chemistry for the first time #vanadium #chemistry #chemsky #nitrile #aldehyde

Hey #NMRChat! You’ll want to see this 60 Minutes segment on the impact of the current helium situation on science, industry, and national security. BONUS: Part was filmed in my lab at UChicago! They interviewed Biomolecular NMR’s Joe Sachleben in my photogenic chem NMR lab. #helium #realtimechem

No helium means no new smartphones, laptops, cars, MRI machines, or missiles. This irreplaceable resource is now in short supply as the war with Iran continues. Jon Wertheim reports, Sunday on 60 Minutes.

This was gallium corrole, and the NMR was quite good. Rarely I see pyrrole peaks so resolved in 300 MHz.

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

✨🪨A fluorescent & phosphorescent rock!🪨✨
Fluorescence is seen with UV illumination, while phosphorescence is visible in the dark. Fluorescence is fast (ps-ns), while phosphorescence is slow (ms-min).

Really sick of being sick; I'm out of sick days and into vacation days :(

(Was low from asthma, which has been really bad this year and then got a cold right before xmas, and then food poisoning right after)

We have a rotary stirrer for evaporation at work. It's like a multi-year rotovap. It's the simplest thing, but I could stare at it for hours. #RealTimeChem #ChemSky
A gif of a rotary stirrer with multiple small (100mL) vials inside with brown liquid. The rotary stirrer is on a lab bench, hooked up to some evaporation coils with green liquid flowing in them. The rotary stirrer is turned on, so the liquids inside are gently sloshing around in unison.

Nothing more classic than a researcher client dropping off a sample, asking for every test possible, and the sample bottle is easily mistakable for being empty.

A peaky GCxGC heatmap with a complex border drawn between different peaks. Some peaks are labelled with the words "n-decane", "n-undecane", and "n-dodecane" indicating that this is a complex petroleum sample's chromatogram.
