How could you prove details of your real life? And even then, what for?

@Mithoron I could, but as you say, what's it for?

I don't need to prove anything

but I do need to put my daughter to bed

:D And I need to put myself to bed, so g'nite ;)

nite!

@Abcd entirely depends on your situation dude.. Too many factors at play for me to be able to decide just like that...

@Zhe I'm staying at Oxford. I'm technically supposed to be doing a project with "synthesis" at its core, but will try to stretch that to see whether I can work on something NMR. In any case the actual research project doesn't start until next year, for now I have lectures and some short rotations

@orthocresol That sounds neat. Good luck with everything!

@GaurangTandon Should I open an issue for every thing I find, or should I add on to existing one #CitationHelper

@Zhe Thanks ;) for now we are working on retrosynthesising some huge molecule. Certainly harder than those in the (now dead) synthesis golf... maybe I should post something for October

I wish there were a physical chemistry equivalent to synthesis golf...

@Martin-マーチン I would suggest adding new issues on to existing ones only when they are related to each other strongly. Otherwise, creating new issues is better because it segregates unrelated issues so I can decide which one to do first :)

@GaurangTandon like if i find more on elsevier... add, and like i did for aip a new one... got it...

@a-cyclohexane-molecule yeah... it's called laser tag ;)

@orthocresol FYI re: Is cobalt(II) in the hexaamminecobalt(II) complex high spin or low spin? I can't get a WF for low spin... at least not in DFT.

@Martin-マーチン yep, that is perfect

I just had another one that didn't work... but now I don't remember ( ;________; )?

^^ It was one of the original links in the answer here...

> Orthocresol, I think you are wrong. The hexa ammonia complex of cobalt(II) is very easy to oxidise as the compound is low spin d7, the cobalt(III) complex formed is low spin d6 octahedral which makes it very stable.

:/

okay... I've tried again... no guarantee it is absolutely correct, I cannot visually check the results because I'm still waiting for my software key. The calculations are single point DF-BP86/def2-TZVPP on GFN2-xTB optimised structures (that's semi-empirics). HS is favourable:

Command file              Functional            Energy / Hartree ( cycles )
g16sing.hs/df-bp86-tzvpp  UB-P86          =       -1722.09617487 (     28 )
g16sing.ls/df-bp86-tzvpp  UB-P86          =       -1722.07869957 (      5 )

@orthocresol Just post your molecule and crowd source a solution :D

@Martin-マーチン Sorry, I didn't mean to say you were wrong. I'm quite sure that you and I are correct ;) That sentence just doesn't make sense. It is easy to oxidise, but that is because the Co(III) is low-spin, it doesn't have anything to do with the Co(II) being high- or low-spin...

I wasn't being very clear.

@Zhe Yes, maybe :p It is ok though, we are in groups, and I think we have a fairly decent route already.

nonon, i got that ;) I just wanted to give you the numbers for the one we were talking about earlier...

cool :)

because I said I couldn't find a wf, but i could...

it would be better with something more robust, but this gives an idea...

so, about 46 kJ/mol difference

>> kT

I'll take it

yeah that's about it...

@Martin-マーチン the springer's link is broken :/ I am querying for https://api.crossref.org/works/10.1007/ / 978-1-4615-4211-7_8 instead of https://api.crossref.org/works/10.1007/978-1-4615-4211-7_8(note the extra /) and thus am getting a 404

will log an isue

https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-physchem-032210-103338 is obviously broken too because I haven't provided a path for it.

@GaurangTandon didn#T i log an issue for that already?

arxiv.org/abs/1012.3609 is broken too

@Martin-マーチン wasn't that for sciencedirect?

@GaurangTandon github.com/GaurangTandon/CitationHelperForSE/issues/8

journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevX.7.031059 is also broken...wow that's so many broken journals :O

ahhh crap... I read aip, not api... sorry

@Martin-マーチン Sorry I don't see your point. That issue is about aip.scitation, isn't it? I was talking about link.springer.com instead...

@Martin-マーチン yeah np

@Martin-マーチン yeah np

yeah forget what I was saying...

donk, donk, donk

slow internet here :|

I'll try get these journals back up by this week hopefully

don't worry; thanks for fixing the meta thing so quickly :D

you're welcome :)
