Title: Chemical Graphics
Post by: Mitch 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 (http://www.thechemblog.com/?p=627), Carbon (http://coronene.blogspot.com/2007/08/putting-molecules-on-lolcats.html), Kutti (http://www.jungfreudlich.de/2007/08/15/screencast-1-shiny-molecules/). 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.

Ooooooo pretty.

And it spins too!

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?

Yes, it would be the dione.
