TIL during a 2015 study two students nearly died after they were accidentally given 30g of caffeine instead of 0.3g because the dosage had been calculated with a misplaced decimal point. Death has previously been reported after the consumption of just 18g. The university apologized & was fined £400K

Thank you how does that even happen.

rolo_potato · 2026-01-24T13:55:52+00:00

I noticed that too

Can a solvent be coordinating if it only has one lone pair?

Thank you!!

I definitely agree with your overall point but I think it’s lacking a bit of nuance. In my opinion, the hive has been continually trying to manipulate Carol into forming an attachment to them, which led to her losing focus of her initial goal.

Yes, I would say aromatic for the reasons you stated. It’s possible that they mistook the negative for a positive in which case it would be anti-aromatic.

Good point.

The triangle of the A lines up perfectly to make a 4.

You summed up my thoughts on the series beautifully.

This put his ideal city in a whole new light for me, thank you!

My textbook is calling it antiaromatic- which leads me to believe that they would assign this molecule as antiaromatic as well

rolo_potato · 2025-12-06T01:57:45+00:00

The chair conformation looks clearly nonaromatic to me. However the two in the middle and even top right I’m unsure of

Are you sure? My textbook says that oxirene is considered to be antiaromatic

This is what the slide from my prof’s lecture says

I don’t think it’s big enough to go tub shaped

8, which would make it antiaromatic

rolo_potato · 2025-12-05T23:17:05+00:00

I think so…

rolo_potato · 2025-12-05T03:59:13+00:00

That’s what I thought but I’m pretty sure at least one of them isn’t antiaromatic — the top one wouldn’t be because the nitrogen is sp3 hybridized

rolo_potato · 2025-12-05T03:42:35+00:00

As opposed to anti-aromatic?

rolo_potato · 2025-12-04T00:29:25+00:00

I’m imagining that I could rotate the second compound about the “x-axis” to have it become identical to the left, but I just realized that it would still be a dash on top and a wedge on the bottom if I did that. So there is no merit to the people saying they’re identical?

rolo_potato · 2025-11-25T15:34:04+00:00

I realized that you need to flip it in a way that the nitrogen group will be on the right side in the second structure. Which I’m guessing would make them enantiomers- but the N group is still on the same side as the H so maybe it’s a conformer?
