SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg's Earlier Instances of Trivalent Carbon
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan chemistry professor Moses Gomberg’s 1900 revelation\, “An Instance of Trivalent Carbon: Triphenylmethyl\"\, lauded on a centennial National Historic Chemical Landmark for challenging the “prevailing belief that carbon can only have four bonds”\, shifts its' place in our imaginations as the facts given here are accommodated. In 1898 Gomberg presumed that he had made a molecular complex of bromotriphenylmethane and two neutral iodine molecules. But he was mistaken. Instead\, Gomberg produced a mixture ofthree persistent single crystals of the triphenylmethyl cation before he published his aforementioned\, controversial paper. Trigonal carbon coordination was the crack in the valency rules that had organized chemistry prior to the invention of quantum mechanics. Gomberg did not recognize the wealth of trivalent carbon compounds he had in hand before the proposition of the radical and corresponding cation thereafter. This presentation gives a counterfactual history.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Hatcher Halloween Presents: Study Break of the Unknown Tome
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to an autumnal break from hard facts. Instead\, try a rock fact. Come for the Washtenaw Dairy cider & donuts\, but stay for the pumpkin decorating (please reserve a pumpkin: https://myumi.ch/NXxEQ)\, lantern crafting\, rock facts\, potatoes\, and molasses! 🎃\n\nThere will be dips from El Harissa and costume prizes. An ambient animated folk-horror series will play in the background while you craft\, and we welcome you to dive into the unknown with more folk-horror recommendations from the library.\n\nThis event is funded by gifts to U-M Library’s Giving Tuesday campaign for student well-being.
