I think that LabPet is thinking of biphenyl, the problem is that the C-C single bond which links the benzene rings can allow rotation. I know in the solid state that the benzene rings in biphenyl are in the same plane. I think that a typical polychlorobiphenyl would be a better molecule for LabPet diagram.

If LabPet could name the other molecules I am sure that I can provide the POVray code.

<next drawing, looks like 2 linked benzene rings, each on different plane of axis, chirality shown>

For the slackers among you, you can find a render of what Woodpecker just posted here for the first and here for the second.

How many of you love molecules with interesting shapes ?

For the nuclear physics experts I have a question, why does there seem to be much more matter than antimatter in the universe ?

If a high energy gamma photon (more than a few MeV) strikes a nucleous then it is possible to create both an electron and an antielectron (positron). Thus it is possible to create matter from energy.

But the overall electrical charge of the universe must not change, I also suspect that no change in spin will occur as the electrons have spin.

So how did the universe start up one day one with more matter than antimatter, if at time zero a vast amount of energy was used to create a mixture of quarks and electrons. Then I would expect for every quark formed that an antiquark would also form. So while it is possible to form mesons which contain an up and an anti-up quark these are short lived. They will decay within a picosecond into two photons which will have lower energies than the pion. As a result it is not possible to reform the pion by pair production. Also the gamma photons will be too low in energy to form an pair of quarks as a free quark is higher in energy than quark in a meson or baryon.

The big question is how was entropy defeated on day one, I worry that entropy is given the chance would have converted all the matter/energy into gamma photons of lower and lower energies. These lower energy photons would then be unable to make many of the key building blocks of matter.

Well, not exactly, I've not got around to reading up on the many worlds interpretation, but I think you'll find it's a bit more robust than that. My impression is that it's just the prototype decoherence interpretation, i.e. instead of positing some magical wave function collapse where my mind causes Schrodinger's cat to mysteriously become either dead or alive, when I observe the cat the uncertainty "leaks" (to use a popularly dreadful term) out to include me, so instead of there being a superposition of a dead and an alive cat, there's a superposition of me having seen a dead cat and me having seen seen an alive cat. Everette's work, I believe, derived the many worlds based on not a convenient assumption but instead in treating people as behaving just like anything else rather than some kind of special element in a subject-object dichotomy.

I mean, there may be some more to it than that, but I'm under the impression that that's the foundational idea.

If someone has a better grasp of this, please feel free to correct me.

Thanks for calculating the bond angles & therefore bond Energy (Joules). HyperChem is a big help and 'visualizes' what cannot be written.

Chiral compounds have been a fascination of mine. Benzene rings were not drawn planar (as in biphenyl) but if they are independent/mutually exclusive then I think they need not be. But a polychlorobiphenyl would 'show' better; I suppose the planar depiction ought to imply a -R group(s) in the middle to allow for twist.

Xelebes: I think scanning would have been better initially but Woodpecker likely fixed it - I have 7 drawing pages and this would exceed my space allocation

Thank you for the short-cut links twoshots. About Schrodinger's cat mystery (this is always compelling!); maybe too hard to construct if system is considered closed (ie: UNIverse). Xverse might be the more plausible explanation, given Occam's Razor.

Is there a nuclear physicist in the house?

I am not sure who you are thanking and what you are thanking the person for, but if it was me providing the POVray code then I am glad you are pleased.



Same for me, I like some chiral things. But I also like some symmetric things and polymeric systems with interpenetration. Weird bonding is also fun.



The problem I see is that in the solid state for biphenyl the pi-pi interactions favour the rings being coplanar, and if the rings are coplanar the pi orbitals in the two rings will have some orbital overlap which lowers the energy of the HOMO. I think that a chlorine or methyl group is needed to provide some steric effect to prevent the molecule going flat.



I am not sure who has hyperchem, I am not using it.

If you ever want to look at molecule, if a crystallographic study has been published recently in a ACS or RSC journal then you can get the cif file. I think that this can be the best way to take a look at the molecule in the solid state.

BTW which isomer of diclorofluroethane are you thinking of.

Unfortunately the multiverse hypothesis cannot be tested empirically so it is not exactly a scientific hypothesis. It is an interesting speculation, but how will we ever know whether it is true or not. It cannot be falsified by empirical means.

ruveyn

While I like to be able to test a hypothesis and I view that the creation of an untestable hypothesis is only speculation about a subject. I hold the view that it would be wrong to refuse to consider an issue just becuase currently we are unable to test any hypothesis which is associated with the "academic problem".

It brings us to the problem of experimental methods not being ready to address a problem. For instance if a person in 1850 had created the hypothesis that one element can transmutate into another.

If all traces of thorium are removed from a sample of uranium, then after a few months it will not be possible by normal chemical tests to detect thorium. So in 1850 with a state of the art chemical lab it would not have been possible to observe the conversion of uranium to thorium. So the hypothesis would be falsified.

But using modern equipment it is possible to detect the formation of thorium in a sample of pure uranium. It is the case that after an advance in scientific equipment and methods that a hypothesis which might have been proven wrong in the past can be brought back to life.

I would say that at this present time it is no possible to prove or disprove the existance of another universe. If anyone has an idea of what experiment we should do then please post it.
