Chemical Graphics
« on: August 15, 2007, 11:24:00 PM »
A lot of recent discussions in the chemical blogosphere have centered around making Chemistry visually more stunning: TheChemBlog, Carbon, Kutti. I present my own work below. The molecule is an acetylacetate complex of Rutherfordium.



If your going to be showing off your beautifying molecule skills, bring your A+ game. ;)

Note 1: Oddly enough, I believe that is the correct geometry of the complex.

I give it a B-. An A+ games would have it rendered in 3D in real time, that I can rotate on my own.

But at least you tried  :D

Isn't that the acetylacetone (2,4-pentanedione) rather than acetylacetate complex?
