My last venture (soz) into the realm of PChem. The full companion www.makingmolecules.com/blog/ratesreaction to the 1Pagers https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/110972067678181433 & https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/111006018847338107 Revised based on feedback (I'll leave some references in a reply). #chemistry #ChemEd #chemiverse Aimed at UGs so is the textbook version.

Part 2 of my rates of reaction summary. Still outside of my comfort zone (help physical chemists!). Here are reaction profiles, mechanisms & rate laws. Hopefully, it gives an idea of the connection between mechanism & rate law (but also how the rate laws can quickly get complicated). Next week's full blog post will have a method to write the third order rate law for the amide hydrolysis.
I hope this of use to #UG.
Enjoy

Not the summary I set out to draw. Here is a muddled overview of collision theory for the rates of reaction. This was meant to be the bottom third of what will now be next week's organic chemist's simplification of the rates of reaction.
For 24 years, I have managed to avoid teaching this subject, so this is a bit rough but I hope it has some use (just don't show a physical chemist). Hope it is useful for #ChemEd #Chemistry #SciViz #chemiverse & please tell me what to correct!

The full summary of conjugate additions is now available at https://www.makingmolecules.com/blog/conjugate
This is the wordy/full explanation of last week's #chemistry #ChemEd #SciViz 1 page summary here: https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/110853110729548480
Hope at least one of them is useful

The blog version ofhttps://mas.to/@nz_molecules/110728502902113734 is now available at www.makingmolecules.com/blog/benzyne These actually get written before the #ChemEd #Chemistry #SciViz to gather my thoughts (but get published afterwards as they are never as popular & I'm a sucker for a popular post 😉)

After 2 weeks of #SciViz #ChemEd #Chemistry 1 page pictorial summaries of SNAr here https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/110615477224228595 & https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/110649344802235176 I've added the full (wordy) explanation at www.makingmolecules.com/blog/nucleophilicaromaticsubstitution The summaries are meant to jog the memory. The blog is for those that need more of an explanation. It has many more words (and more pictures (normally, it is the trial run for the 1 page summaries)).
Hopefully it is useful

California State University, Dominguez Hills is searching for an assistant professor of chemistry education research:

The second #ChemEd #SciViz #chemistry 1-pager about nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Reactions of diazonium salts & Sandmeyer reaction. Hopefully helpful for #UG ... & if anyone has tips on nitrile formation by the Sandmeyer, I'd be grateful as we have one (involving [2.2]paracyclophane) that ain't working! #Chemiverse

@gigabecquerel @carolski That’s beautiful 👍🏻
I don't recall seeing a purple iron compound before. One more to add to the list of pretty coordination compounds!
#Chemistry #ChemEd

The predictable follow up to electrophilic aromatic substitution is...wait for it... a #SciViz #ChemEd #Chemistry 1pager about nucleophilic aromatic substitution. This one looks at the most common #UG variant, the addition-elimination mechanism. As always I hope it useful. Enjoy!
#Chemiverse

As is tradition, after the pretty #chemistry #SciViz 1pagers https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/110501915777666980 & https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/110530544890535383 comes the full, wordy #ChemEd blog, using whole sentences with greater explanation, more examples. It's here https://www.makingmolecules.com/blog/electrophilic-aromatic-substitution
A day late for my 200 level students ... but they knew it all anyway?

Here is the second #SciViz #ChemEd #Chemistry 1pager about electrophilic aromatic substitution. This one looks at activation & directing effects. If I'm honest, it has already been summarised (a summary of a summary) last week but it hopefully gives some useful information. Enjoy (or perhaps just be keep the previous one!)
#chemiverse

As promised, here is a more succinct #SciViz #ChemEd version of electrophilic aromatic substitution. Less explanation but all the information (& directing effects) ... hopefully.
Next week should see a bit more detail on activation/directing.
Hope these are useful #chemistry #chemiverse

Here is the first #Chemistry #ChemEd summary for a while (blame S1 teaching). It is electrophilic aromatic substitution. I'm out of practice & it is too cluttered. A minimal #SciViz version out later in the week. Hope it is useful.
Hopefully, I should be a little more regular at publishing these (once the marking is done)
#chemiverse

New blog www.makingmolecules.com/blog/asymhydroboration covering substrate & reagent controlled hydroboration. Also discusses allylic strain.
The #chemistry #SciViz #ChemEd 1-pager https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/110263410104435237 … was the infographic version (well, not the good. It was the version with minimal writing), this blog uses full sentences & has more detail (including full references for once).

It's been a while since I posted anything. Anyone currently working in a university will understand the fun if trying to do more with less.
This post was started in March after I did a #chemistry #SciViz #ChemEd 1 page summary on anti-Markovnikov addition. It is the stereoselective variant (covering the classic pinene reagents). Aimed at PG not UG.
I'll do a more detailed blog post next week & then get back to UG summaries.
I hope someone finds it useful. #Chemiverse

Congratulations to @Danielle_Maxwel for her first, first-author paper acceptance! Danielle’s paper “A Guided-Inquiry Activity for Introducing Students to Figures from Primary Scientific Literature” will be published in JCE soon! @ArcticKerri #ChemEd #PaperCake

Is anyone aware of studies that look at the impact of offering extra credit e.g., who is likely to participate and if it gives students false hope in improving their overall grade? #ChemEd #CER #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

This is a neat titration simulator for use in General Chemistry:
http://faculty.concordia.ca/bird/javascript/titration/titration-js-v2.html

I had fun playing with it in class when talking about pH titration curves and indicators.

Does anyone have a favorite acid-base titration web simulation that they show in class?

A new blog is at https://www.makingmolecules.com/blog/antimarkovnikov covering the two classic methods for anti-Markovnikov addition, the radical addition of HBr and hydroboration/oxidation. This is the full text version of last week's #chemistry #SciViz #ChemEd 1-page summary (https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/109895899323862139). For those that haven't met these before, the summary is a pictorial cheatsheet with minimal words. The blog is a more comprehensive explanation (at #UG level). I hope some found these useful. #ChemiVerse #ChemToots
