Well in fact W-M is a basic rearrangement used even in pinacol and others
The begining is not the same

@orthocresol can you tell me advise about what would I read to improve my quantum mechanic knowledge. The lesson from my school was good but too short. I have the lecture of Polytechnique but it is very long. I have not a lot of free time. If you have ideas I would be glad.
If you had the time, I would really recommend using a physics QM text to understand the concepts well.
QM is really about understanding the topic fundamentally - if you don't have a good grasp of the linear algebra, then all the words that you throw around when talking about molecular electronic structure are worthless.
I watched Dr. Leonard Susskind's QM lectures to get a feel for QMech, but I have a feeling the chemistry-oriented QM class at my school is going to be hopelessly dumbed down
but I was thinking it was the 1 electron alkaline permanganate redox process... which would just be Mn(VII) + Mn(II) -> Mn(III) + Mn(VI) (which is what I wrote above)
What is the difference in the functioning of alkaline and acidified $\ce{KMnO4}$ as a reagent in organic chemistry?
E.g., in the oxidation of a primary alcohol to carboxylic acid, we use acidified $\ce{KMnO4}$ and not alkaline $\ce{KMnO4}$. Why?
Oh ok the redox reaction's consumption of protons is actually driving the deprotonation of HAcAc. The sodium acetate is just there to keep the solution at pH=5 so the 5-electron oxidation can occur.
"A two-dimensional polymer (2DP) based on the dimerization of anthraceno groups arranged in a triptycene motif is reported. A photoinduced polymerization is performed in the crystalline state and gives a lamellar 2DP via a crystal-to-crystal (but not single-crystal to single-crystal) transformation."
specifically, what is the difference b/w crystal to crystal vs single-crystal to single-crystal?
> The samples were applied to copper grids coated with formwar support film and stabilized with carbon, and stained with 2% water solution of uranyl acetate.
Is it the grid that is stabilized with carbon, or the film? I know little of TEM.
Answering this question is trickier than it seems: OP's wording seems to be asking about whether the reaction is suprafacial or antarafacial, whereas retention vs. inversion refers to that of the migrating centre and is an entirely different matter. — orthocresol ♦17 secs ago
I really feel like answering that question, but this is rather frustrating.
I am confused about the justification for the corrections to the ideal gas law in the Van der Waals equation: $$p=\frac{nRT}{V-nb}-a\left(\frac{n}{V}\right)^2$$
I understand that the equation attempts to correct for attractive and repulsive forces between molecules, and that at high volumes the ...
@getafix You can go ahead with the W-H analysis and explain why suprafacial always means retention (or antarafacial means inversion, but that's geometrically imporssible) :D
Have you considered adding some negative ions to the air purifier? They will magnetically attract the dust particles and trap them within an electrodynamic quadrupole.
would it be possible to pass the air through a little trap with a laser on one end, and a photodetector on the other and measure light scattering?..should be able to detect particulates of a certain size..hmm
btw..would anyone happen to know what this means " gives a lamellar 2DP via a crystal-to-crystal (but not single-crystal to single-crystal) transformation."

@paracresol You want to be gender neutral for a month? O.o

In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum (derived from Latin dolorem ipsum, translated as "pain itself") is a filler text commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation. Replacing meaningful content with placeholder text allows designers to design the form of the content before the content itself has been produced.
The lorem ipsum text is typically a scrambled section of De finibus bonorum et malorum, a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed to make it nonsensical, improper Latin.
A variation of the ordinary lorem...
Look, free speech is free speech. You have the right to say whatever you want.
But if you're going to say something nasty, then others have the right to be pissed off.
That's just how the world works.
Free speech doesn't mean that if you go around insulting Christianity (for example), people have to love you and accept everything you say. It just means that you shouldn't be jailed or executed for it. People are free to dislike you (and chances are people will).
Even under free speech there are a lot of things that will bring you into jail....try saying "i'm going to kill you and your family" with a knife in your hand.
The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is a chemical reaction between a 1,3-dipole and a dipolarophile to form a five-membered ring. The earliest 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions were described in the late 19th century to the early 20th century, following the discovery of 1,3-dipoles. Mechanistic investigation and synthetic application were established in the 1960s, primarily through the work of Rolf Huisgen. Hence, the reaction is sometimes referred to as the Huisgen cycloaddition (this term is often used to specifically describe the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between an organic azide and an alkyne to generate...
