I took down all my spooky molecular model decorations and decided to be a bit seasonal with something else.

I present...tryptophan.

Just in time for Thanksgiving season.

:Hehe:

Molecular model kit designed to show the chemical formula of the amino acid tryptophan [2-Amino-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid]. Oxygen atoms are read, nitrogen atoms are purple, carbon atoms are black, and hydrogen atoms are white.

More Spooky Season décor!

Time to get even spookier. It is tetrachloroethylene (PCE). OOOOOH!

PCE is a chlorinated organic contaminant that, oddly, gets more toxic as it breaks down.

On point with the Halloween theme!

Organic chemistry molecular model kit set on a wooden counter with a silver, skull decoration immediately next to it. The model with two black balls with angled connections between them and two green balls coming off each of the black balls. It is intended to be a model of tetrachloroethylene.

Spooky Halloween décor for my office.

Not the skull, the pyridine model! The purple ball is meant to be nitrogen.

Pyridine is an organic contaminant often derived from coal tar. Have you smelled that chemical before? Oof, smells like rotten fish.

Organic chemistry molecular model kit set on a wooden counter with a silver, skull decoration immediately next to it. The model has a ring of five black balls and a single purple ball with angled connections between them in a ring pattern connected with alternating single and double pair connection points. The black balls all have a single white ball connected to them.

Science & I Have Great Chemistry.
It’s a bond that can’t be broken. (Unless you add heat and pressure… then it’s a whole different reaction.)

So, I have a "World's Smallest Elf on the Shelf" figure at work. This little guy will be moving around my office for the season. Today, I found him hugging a double bond near a carbon atom on my caffeine model.

Photograph of a molecular model kit that is designed to look like a caffeine molecule. A very tiny Elf on the Shelf figurine is hugging one of the bonds near a carbon atom.

I have not busted out my molecular model kit in a while, so let's go back to O-Chem with MDMRN.

Here we have a new compound in a ring shape with a purple ball representing a Nitrogen atom. In terms of chemical properties, in it's pure form, this compound is a colorless liquid with a foul, fishy odor.

So - what did I make here? Can you guess the compound?

Let me know your best guess in the comments!

The model has a ring of five black balls and a single purple ball with angled connections between them in a ring pattern connected with alternating single and double pair connection points. The black balls all have a single white ball connected to them.

Welcome back to another round of organic chemistry with MDMRN.

Once again, I've taken my molecular model kit to craft a new molecule. This one, frankly, I was able to craft using the pieces of the previous ones I presented before. While I didn't say it last time, the green represents a halogen, in this case specifically chlorine.

A hint is that the production of these types of compounds has been banned in numerous countries, including the United States. It was, historically, found in electrical transformers.

Can you guess what type of compound this is? Let me know in the comments!

Organic chemistry molecular model kit being held by a white person's hand against a light colored wall. The model has two 10 black balls with angled connections between them in a double ring pattern connected by a single bond. One of the rings has three green balls connected to the black balls. The other ring has a single green ball connected. The remaining extra bonds have white balls connected to them.

So, we're going back to organic chemistry everyone!

After my first post with my molecular model kit showing an environmental contaminant, I decided to post up another.

This one is a semi-volatile organic environmental contaminant that is commonly found in coal tar, mothballs, and mixed into creosote for rail ties. That distinct "mothball odor" is this compound! Fun fact - a human nose can detect the mothball odor before most standard electronic detectors of organic odors / vapors.

Can you guess the compound? Let me know in the comments!

Organic chemistry molecular model kit laying on a wooden table. The model has two 10 black balls with angled connections between them in a double ring pattern. Every other connection between the black balls show two angled plastic connection post. Any corner that does not have a double black ball connection has a single, smaller white ball connected to it coming outward.

I don't talk about work here a whole lot, but I'm a chemical engineer by education and have been doing environmental engineering work for the past 17 years.

So, I have an organic chemistry molecular model kit that I have kept at work for years. I, periodically, make contaminants I've seen at various sites across my 17 year career cleaning up the environment.

Do you know what this chemical is supposed to be? Leave a comment below with your guess!
