@Jan I want toooooo O.o

GoldenEye?

@Jan do you know sth about prof schnick from the lmu munich? you can tell me in the g-block, if you want ;)

@Mart bear with this little child throwing jokes around and childishly trying to get some meta consensus. ;)

@Martin-マーチン No, Ocarina of Time ;)

@pH13 Erm, yeah, what do you want to know? ;)

@Jan Is he like the profs in PhD comics?

@Jan just general information .. good prof, not so good prof

reasons for that classification ^^

@tschoppi did you manage your problem?

@pH13 Pretty nice prof, does solid-state chemistry what I was never really into, fair exam, nice lecture albeit slightly jumping sometimes. Has a good coffee machine in his group's social room. Could ask a friend who did his ... master's? ... thesis there what he thought.

=^.^=

Humans, show yourself!

@Wildcat ?

Hi @Loong! :D

@Wildcat hi

@Loong, do you think (like Wikipedian and @inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M do) that a Lewis formula is just a special type of a structural formula?

@Loong, well, never mind. I already found your answer on meta. :D

@Wildcat @Loong answered on meta? Link pls.

Hi 0/

Hi @get o/

I have another stereochemistry question for the peeps here..lol (sorry..will stop soon, i think I am getting the hang of it..) is it okay if i ask?

Assigning priorities using CIP, i put the carbon with ketone over the carbon with methoxy links..am I correct in doing so?

@getafix I don't think you are, but I'm never truely sure … but my reasoning is, if you expand the carbonyl group, you get C-O; C-(O) and C-C while the other carbon is C-O; C-O and C-C … the non-dummy atom should win over the dummy atom. If that is not the case, then we go one level further: C-O-(C); C-(O) and C-C for carbonyl and C-O-C; C-O-C and C-C for dimethoxy.

Yeah, this one has had me stumped for a while..

So it should be R?

@Wildcat I think, Lewis structures may be considered to be one kind of structural formula since they show how the atoms in a molecule are connected. Usually, however, the purpose of structural-formula questions and lewis-structure questions are different. Lewis-structures are more related to the octet rule than to the arrangement of the atoms of a molecule in space.

I want to +1 that, @Loong. But all I can do is star. Oh well, w/e.

@Jan I guess, you answer on meta is quite similar.

So what is everyone up to?

@Loong couldn't agree more! :)

I'm about to take an NMR sample to the measuring facility.

the measuring facility sounds huge ;-)

Well, compared to the size of an NMR sample, it is huge.

They built it in Very Far Away, so it does have some mystic attributes to it ;)

the measuring facility sounds scary! :|

Lol haha

Not sure about cats, it might be scary for them. There are large magnets in there …

@Jan I once erased my cash card with an NMR. I thought of my card as soon as I had entered the NMR room and I walked out backwards, but is was too late. So I went to the bank for a replacement card. Then the bank employee explained to me that I should always use the plastic cover to protect the card. ;-D

@Loong WOW, that just deserves another star =D

Luckily that hasn't happened to me yet, as it would also erase my other two bank cards, two credit cards, DB discount card, health insurance card and postal service card xD

I think all my other cards should be NMR safe xD

The introduction was a bit scary, when they threw some coins at the NMR.

And then there was this story about an intern who came close to the NMR while holding a steel dewar with liquid nitrogen. :-o

Luckily we, cats, don't rely on all this stupid new technologies. We still use whiskers, paws, and tail as our IDs. =^.^=

@Loong surely, it was fiction. :D

@Wildcat I don't know. And don't call me Shirley. ;-)

@Wildcat If you don't like magnetic resonance, try a cat scan

actually, that's a cat scan of a cat

@Loong That is one very @wild @cat, I think ;)

@Loong :O

:O

Impressive new user post. I admit, I'm envious.

@Loong That happens, but they really shouldn't place the spectrometers that close to the entrance. I'm just glad that glasses are usually safe, the first time I used a spectrometer I never thought about them at all. Hair clips are another thing that people tend to forget, from what I heard.
