As I was going, for the nth time, through the draft of the new Blue Book, it did strike me how much attention is paid to the appearance of a printed word. It is discussed in length what type of dash or bracket to use, which part of term has to be italicised...
Ultramarine differs from other inorganic pigments in that it does not contain any transition metals. It is the sulfur species that confer the colour: S3 (blue ultramarine), S2 (yellow ultramarine) or S4 (red ultramarine). Green ultramarine contains both S2...
Meike Stelter and colleagues have solved the crystal structure of the reduced form of a high-potential ironsulfur protein (HiPIP) from the thermophilic eubacterium Rhodothermus marinus. This is the first structure of a HiPIP isolated from a nonphotosynthetic...

linked to by 2Ferrocene was discovered in 1951 and we still do not know the proper way to draw it. CrossFire example recommends to connect every carbon atom of the ring to the central metal atom. Which is fair enough and will be a valid query for CrossFire Gmelin database....

Rich Apodaca has asked me to show how CML can deal with metallocene compounds - and I’m happy to do this - it comes at a very good time. He points to Metallome blog and I’ll copy some of the material on ferrocene. I’ll show the post and then...
Here's a simple question: what's the best way to draw ferrocene?This question was posed in a recent article on Metallome. It turns out there are some differences of opinion.But this problem isn't limited to 'drawing' ferrocene - it extends to storing, transmitting,...
