Natural/Unnatural
A beautiful fountain near Stockholm leads the author to analyse what is natural and unnatural about a sculpture. The dichotomy is undermined by a careful examination of every work of art, every social construction, every harmful or useful molecule synthesised. So, if the natural and the synthetic are intertwined, why do we scientists and others alike favour the work of Nature? Some of the reasons derive from romance, status alienation, pretence, …
Molecular Beauty
What makes molecules beautiful? It may be their simplicity, a symmetrical structure. Or it may be their complexity, the richness of structural detail that is required for specific function. Sometimes the beauty of a molecule may be hidden, to be revealed only when its position in a sequence of transformations is made clear. Novelty, surprise, utility also playa role in molecular aesthetics, which is the subject of this contribution
Representation in Chemistry
Chemical structures are among the trademarks of our profession, as surely chemical as flasks, beakers and distillation columns. When someone sees one of us busily scribbling formulas or structures, he or she has no trouble identifying a chemist. Yet these familiar objects, which accompany our work from start to end, from the initial doodlings (Fig. I) to the final polished artwork in a publication (Fig. II), are deceptively simple. They raise int…
