Pictures Photo Contest 2023

This photo is taken at Kumamoto University (Japan) during my post-doc studies.
This photo is about the reaction of simple one pot synthesis of ketone from carboxylic acid, which you can find details at the published data (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tetlet.2019.04.030). — 1. Simple one pot synthesis of ketone from carboxylic acid

Fractalised — 2. Land and sky

3. Snow Rainbow

4. A happy inert reaction

The photo shows crystallization procedure, where pure compound is precipitating as clouds in the erlenmeyer beaker. — 5. once upon a cloud

Only the seeing eye can see. — 6. Eye research - illuminating reality; The Eyes, window to the light of the Earth.

Different colorful phases of fluorescent compound in the chemical solution under blue light — 7. Colorful destiny of fluorescent compounds

8. Illuminated droplets

This picture represents plants as a source of beneficial substances for our body. Nature is the source of molecules that have everything we need to be healthy, beautiful and long-lived. Most of the substances that have a therapeutic effect are found in the nature that surrounds us. — 9. The connection between chemistry and nature

The photo shows the glaring differences in the physicochemical properties of the substrate and the product of chemical transformation. From an yellow oily substance with a blue color of emission of we pass to an orange emission of a solid product. — 10. The Beauty of Chemical Transformation

We can see the beauty of a stirring fluorescent compound. — 11. Twisting illumination

In this photograph, we embark on a mesmerizing journey into a captivating microcosmic realm. The image immediately enthrals as it showcases a remarkable NBD activity-based probe, a synthetic fluorescent compound, exhibiting a stunning pattern of crystallization with meticulous adherence to a round bottom flask. The probe's presence evokes the likeness of a living organism, resembling a magnificent tree or ethereal algae, as it radiates an ethereal luminosity that gracefully envelops its surroundings. Delicate tendrils and intricate patterns intertwine, creating an enchanting spectacle that casts an aura of mystery and wonder as if orchestrating a symphony of light. Through this vivid lens into the microscopic world, the hidden beauty concealed within medicinal chemistry is unveiled, inviting us to witness the harmonious interplay of scientific artistry and captivating brilliance. — 12. Chemical Symphony: A Vivid Glimpse into the Microcosmos

The reality of the chemist involves the exploration of a vast chemical space, forever in search of that hit compound, a light in vast and dark infinity... (fluorescent Pomalidomide solutions displayed in a chemistry lab fumehood) — 13. Chemical Space

The brightside — 14. Fifty shades of fluorescence
