Ok, I can I admit my mistakes. I double-checked the data and corrected two products, here is the updated figure. Results changed from "disastrous" to "disastrous catastrophe". #Chemsky #chemchat #SupplementsSaga #TaurateCurse #supplements and #minerals too Now slides, one by one: 🧵 1/19

How bad is quality of food supplements? If you think that it is bad - you are wrong - it is much worse. Of course, it depend from particular type of supplement, but it could be disastrous, like in the case of "magnesium taurate". #Chemsky #chemchat #SupplementsSaga #TaurateCurse 🧵 1/x

Organic synthesis went sideways; probably the FLP were too frustrated, so they bit off a ring from a couple of BARF-24 anions and glued them together with a hydrogen atom. This is a second example with such anion, first one is this one dx.doi.org/10.5517/ccdc.... #chemsky #crystallography

A very foundational paper by Chris Slootweg @chrisslootweg.bsky.social that helps shed light on FLP chemistry. We’re glad we were able to make a small contribution here. chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
