The Suzuki reaction is named after chemist Akira Suzuki, who was awarded the chemistry prize in 2010. Chemists use Suzuki couplings to join carbon atoms together – they have been used to create polymers that emit light and to develop light-capturing molecules.

After a few years, Woodward and Eschenmoser would achieve, through an intercontinental collaboration, what is known as “the Everest of Organic Synthesis” - the monumental total synthesis of vitamin B12, which would take approximately 16 years, 80 steps, and 100 chemists.
#OnThisDay 20 August 1955, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin and her colleagues published the final structure of vitamin B12 which has the most complex structure of all vitamins.

Quantes molècules s'han sintetitzat a data d'avui i quantes en queden per sintetitzar? En aquesta entrada a @Divul_cat intento donar resposta a aquesta pregunta. enciclopedia.cat/divulcat/ab…

A disastrous decision by the @AmerChemSociety and @RoySocChem: removing graphical abstracts from ASAP articles. Bring them back!

"The language of science is a language under stress. Words are being made to describe things that seem indescribable in words – equations, chemical structures and so forth. Words do not, cannot mean all that they stand for, yet they are all we have to describe experience. By being a natural language under tension, the language of science is inherently poetic." - Roald Hoffmann, chemistry laureate

Einstein's 1905 photoelectric effect paper (the one that won the Nobel prize) did not get translated into English until 1965.

Robert Burns Woodward, awarded the 1965 chemistry prize, worked on organic synthesis. He successfully synthesised many substances such as cholesterol and chlorophyll, the substance that gives leaves their green colour. More info: bit.ly/2wdavdv

Henry Kissinger's speechwriter Winston Lord once spent days on a report, then submitted it. Kissinger sent it back: 'Is this the best you can do?' Lord rewrote it, resubmitted. Same response. This went on 3-4 times. Finally Lord snapped: 'Damn it, yes, it's the best I can do.' Kissinger: 'Fine, then I guess I'll read it this time.' This is exactly how I work with Claude.

Umberto Eco, propietario de 50.000 libros, dijo esto sobre las bibliotecas caseras: "Es una tontería pensar que tienes que leer cada libro que compras, porque es una tontería criticar a aquellos que compran más libros de lo que nunca podrían leer. Sería como decir que debes usar todos los cubiertos o gafas o llaves o taladros que compraste antes de comprar nuevos". "Hay cosas en la vida que siempre necesitamos tener en abundancia, incluso si solo usamos una pequeña porción". "Si, por ejemplo, consideramos los libros como medicina, entendemos que es bueno tener muchos en casa en lugar de algunos: cuando quieres sentirte mejor, ve al 'armario de medicamentos' y toma un libro. No al azar, sino el libro correcto para ese momento. ¡Esta es la razón por la que siempre debes tener una opción nutricional!" "Quien compra sólo un libro, lee sólo este y luego se deshace de él. Solo aplican la mentalidad de consumidor a los libros, es decir, nos consideran un producto de consumo, un bien". "Los que aman los libros saben que un libro es todo menos una mercancía. "

Overall, the message is quite simple: combining machine learning models with genetic algorithms enables the design of helicenes with tailored properties. 4/n
