  • Regarding the forth worthy person who sadly passed in a plane crash - I was under the impression that the Nobel Committee does not award more than three people.

  • @drchaffee that's right... there is a maximum of three people per prize.

  • Would it be possible to do a Graphene video?

  • @Muscleduck we did one yesterday for periodicvideos and an even longer on our sixtysymbols channel

  • At the very least I think that the Prof & the team @ Uof Nott deserves an honorable mention just for their work in brining chemistry to us unrefined masses. Hell, if Obama can get a peace prize simply for not being George Bush you guys should get an award for your dedication to spreading knowledge.

    It's there just in case the reaction doesn't take place, since Suzuki reactions sometimes need additional energy to get them going. A reflux apparatus is also helpful for keeping the reactants in solution over long periods of time, since any evaporated solvent will immediately condense back into the reactant solution.

    At least that's how I see it.

  • at least the winners are deserving - unlike the Peace Prize sometimes......

  • When they did the reaction, why did they have a reflux apparatus???? they're not heating it up.
