We report the first synthesis and comprehensive characterisation of hexazine, last in the series of 6-membered nitrogen heterocycles. A novel azide-azide click reaction was developed to facilitate this synthesis. Hexazine may serve as a non- carcinogenic alternative solvent to benzene, function as a mild amine-base, and even act as a weak nucleophile for further synthesis. The detailed exploration of such is left as an exercise for the reader.

A commentary on the likelyhood of AI to supplement machine-learning researchers.

 It is with sadness, confusion, and relief that the chemistry community prepares to farewell one of its most colourful members. Frank Furious (1974–TBA) was, and technically still is, an Austrian American synthetic chemist, known for his work in palladium catalysis, and for dancing naked on the bar at an ACS annual meeting in 1998. He is currently in a coma at St Ethylbert’s Hospital in Luton, following a serious lab accident earlier this week.

Sodium metal is the new superfood! Take your kale, blueberries and seaweed and bin them. Sodium metal is a rich source of sodium and a powerful antioxidant. It helps to balance the body’s pH and generates beneficial hydrogen gas. The only problem is that it tastes like shit. This article describes a methodology to make this magic bullet easier to swallow.

We report the development of a dedicated networking platform to facilitate professional and romantic matchmaking for scientists.

Did you know that one in ten molecules suffers from electrile dysfunction? Electrile dysfunction (ED) is a mechanistic condition in which the electron density within a molecule becomes constricted, preventing it from reaching a functional group. The result is a loss of steric rigidity which quite frequently causes impaired reactivity. Conversely, rigor moietis (RI) can occur as a result of orbital scrambling. This work describes a treatment for ED and RI using energy transfer catalysis..

Icosahedral microcrystals were observed in a random experiment. Who cares about its formation mechanism when we can game instead? And as our research progresses, it appears that atoms share our philosophy. It was elucidated that chemical reactions occur on a chance based RNG system where all outcomes are equally possible.

A song about chromatography, to the tune of U2’s “Still haven’t found what I’m looking for”.

COVID viruses are bad little hombres. In 2020 I had some ideas – great ideas – for killing the Chinese Virus so AMERICA can be grate again. But the Leftist Libtards and their Woke agenda spread propagananda to stop you from hearing them! They and their fraud friend scientists, scientists who made the virus in Chinese labs want you to take their– if its not POISON, vaccines, with Bill Gates and windows tracking chips in it.

An attempt to control for star sign variation in laboratory mice.

Spectroscopy often yields messy spectra, littered with a myriad of impurities and unhelpful product peaks. Contrary to popular belief, this is not due to the author’s poor analytical skills. Whatever the reason might be, a cure is always better than prevention. Therefore, a completely new method of characterizing chemicals was developed.

Are you tired of cleaning glassware? Are your fingers burning from all that acetone? Do you wish that your lab partner would just shut up and stop spilling your hard-earned product on the floor? Well, we can’t prevent the last one, but with some novel equipment designed in collaboration with top boron chemists, interior designers, and glass blowers, we have revolutionized laboratory glassware. 

We have developed a cheap, sustainable and effective alternative to the oil bubbler/Schlenk line for the protection of air-sensitive reactions from atmospheric O2.
