Q: How predictable are the decomposition temperatures of trithiocarbonates?

Paul KolkHow do the following parameters: Ionic radius of a cation. Oxidation number of a cation. Noble metal cation vs alkali metal cation. Something else that I may not know about. affect the decomposition temperatures of trithiocarbonates, when assuming the environment to be that of an Inert gas or v...

Q: Why aren't aldehydes more acidic than saturated alcohols?

mechanistAldehydes(pKa ~17-20) and ketones(pKa >20) are worse acids than alcohols(pKa ~15-16). I have seen that the equilibrium of aldehydes(and ketones) with their hydrates greatly decreases pKa values like in benzaldehyde which is comparable to alcohols. Enols are in equilibrium with aldehydes too, and ...
