I was preparing spectra for the NMR appendix of my thesis earlier today. I came across a molecule whose 1H spectrum had a peak at 1.56 ppm that I couldn’t explain for quite some time.
TLDR; It depends who you are talking to (organic chemist, ESR spectroscopist, or physical chemist/chemical physicist), and when.
The way I read the quote below the fold, there have been three major senses of the definition, at least to the best of the knowledge of a giant in the field like Herzb...
@Jan No, you simply need to search "deleted:yes" and sort by votes.
Actually - as you know, you can see deleted posts with $10^{-5}~\mathrm{Grep}$; however, I'm not sure whether you can search for them. I have no way of testing it out, though. It wasn't that offensive, I just thought, no need to dig it up again.

Hi, everyone :-) I've a very very quick question. Is this possible in water:
Hello everyone. What are the search options that are available in Chem SE? I've googled search options, and I get this URL http://stackoverflow.com/help/searching . However, some of the options do not seem to work here.
If this is your level of intelligence, you should have a restraining order placed on you and be allowed no closer than 1000 ft from any child under the age of 16. What a f--king moron. I have nothing but contempt for such a cretin. I'm not sure if I'm adequately expressing my contempt? It's even ...
On the festival of Diwali, Indians exchange sweets and share their love. I did just that this very morning, but things don't always go the right way. I dropped a box of sweets and the sugary syrup spread all over the floor. Now while cleaning up the floor a question popped up in my mind: Why is s...
I have seen it, e.g. "introduce 10mg saline [solution]", so it is probably common usage in highly technical documents. For more general readers, I would use a preposition. — Mick2 mins ago
From a procedures section in a document:
Transfer 1.5 g bovine milk powder into a 200 ml volumetric beaker.
Is it common practice to omit of in construction of the kind
1.5 g (of) bovine milk powder
I have the impression that it is, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe there's some book descr...

@CowperKettle I've never heard that word used in a the context of a laboratory practicum. It's modern usage is only in the sense of 'put forth a theory indirectly', usually with a connotation that the theory put forth considers a person, idea, thing, etc. negatively.
@CowperKettle You could also consider placing the "(by potentiometry)" next to the given pH value "5.0 ± 0.1" since you are using potentiometry to measure the pH.
In a procedure description I'm translating, there's this sentence (I here quote it literally, word for word, as it is in Russian):
Adjust the pH of the solution to 5.0±0.1 with acetic acid (by potentiometry).
The meaning of "(by potentiometry)" is that the personnel should use a potentio...
The Lingam (IAST: liṅgaṃ, also linga, ling, Shiva linga, Shiv ling, meaning sign, symbol or phallus) is an abstract or aniconic representation of the Hindu deity, Shiva, used for worship in temples, smaller shrines, or as self-manifested natural objects. In traditional Indian society, the linga is seen as a symbol of the energy and potential of Shiva himself.
The lingam is often represented alongside the yoni (Sanskrit word, literally "origin" or "source" or "womb"), a symbol of the goddess or of Shakti, female creative energy. The union of linga and yoni represents the "indivisible two-in-oneness...
@paracresol Yeah. Fits those Austrians to destroy the year of chaos 2016. But Renzi lost. So maybe 2016 was concentrating all on Italy and had no resources left for Austria …?
The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Pastafarianism (a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarian), a social movement that promotes a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools. According to adherents, Pastafarianism is a "real, legitimate religion, as much as any other". Pastafarianism is legally recognized as a religion in the Netherlands and New Zealand – where Pastafarian representatives have been authorized to celebrate weddings and where the first legally recogniz...
:-D no, he paraglided somewhere, had an accident, was paraplegic and didn't have feeling in his feet, he then burned one feet (which he didn't notice) which they nearly had to amputate. That's why he's using a cane.
@Jan I've heard the Donald likes entrances like that. Maybe he will do it ;-)

A Belgian lady wanted to drive to Brussels, about 90 km from home. Her satnav directed her to Zagreb (heaven knows why). She blindly followed it for 1.3 Mm. When questioned, she answered she had been ‘distracted’. Wow, just … wow.
What does the german word "Flügeschlagen" (or "Flugenschlagen"?) mean and why does the GPS keep saying it in the movie (they are stuck in traffic)?
According to google translator (I know, not a very reliable source) both mean "flight(s) beat".
Thanks!
Oops, @Jan (and other german speaking guys here), I was hoping someone might know of a website that listed common chemical things in German-English (glassware, names of standard techniques). Google didn't show up much and a dictionary isn't doing much good.
Couldn’t you have dug up a more interesting one, containing the abbreviations NWO, NSA, the words chemtrail*, spiced with some random obscenities against the established world and a pr0n pic? ;p
@ortho that answer of your’s actually makes most sense when thinking of why coordination complexes typically have d-electrons but no s-electrons. It’s like scales dropping from my eyes!
@paracresol Thanks for reminding me to look up what I had wanted to look up for my Jewish co-worker. I found the exact phrase and it was as I had remembered ^^
