@pentavalentcarbon biblatex certainly is the bomb. After working for weeks with bibtex/bibtex, i solved all my problems with it within a day... and then some. There are features I did not know I would ever need and then I did. Big fan, bigly ;)
Does anyone here have experience with MALDI-TOF mass spec?
Quick question: I measured mass spec for my compound in NaI+ Dianthrol and found peak corresponding to [Mol-Na]+ which is what i expected but also something that seems to be [Mol-K]+ (?) Would anyone happen to know why? Asking here, cause i think the answer is probably simple, and not really worth putting on the main site
According to P-14.4 in Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry: IUPAC Recommendations and Preferred Names 2013 (Blue Book):
P-14.4 Numbering
When several structural features appear in cyclic and acyclic compounds, low locants are assigned to them in the following decreasing order of seniority:...
@getafix did you use K+ to make the compound?
did K+ come anywhere within a 15000 mile radius of your compound?
@orthocresol I didn't use any potassium at all. Don't know about the 15000 mile thing. I'm trying to track down the person in the group who used the tray before I did, maybe he used it? Or maybe there was KI contamination in the NaI?
Oh @Zhe thanks, did not know about this book. I'll look through it...maybe it has some answers
@getafix Well, I got lots of things from libgen too. I don't really feel bad about it, because if libgen didn't exist I would simply walk down to the library, so I'm not cheating anybody out of money.
So we say that 1 Amu (u) = 1/12 of the mass of a Carbon 12 atom.
Im not sure about this, but I believe that first we measured the mass of 1 carbon 12 atom (This includes the mass defects that occur during the formation of nucleus) and then defined that 1 atomic mass unit has a value of 1/12 of ...
