Reaction of The Day/Week
Would a "Reaction of the Day/Week" or both be of any interest? I'd love to put one on my website every week if it would be received well, be of
interest, and hasn't already been done.
Since some interest was shown, if this works out, by friday, April 18th, 2014, the link below will lead to the weekly reactions:
http://ptp.x10.mx/weeklyr.htm
And eventually there might be a daily (Or two, a weekly, and a smaller reaction bi- or tri- weekly).

'Hasn't already been done'
You mean the idea, or the reaction?
Personally, I would be interested in such a series.

That is a very neat idea! I would certainly follow such a series, and hopefully find the time to replicate quite a few!

I would love something of this sort. Would people be allowed to submit ideas?

Glad you liked the idea!
Yes submissions would be accepted, preferably by a stickied form, but I could only hope they'd do that for me once the site was established. I was
thinking of putting them on my website as to keep it organized and not bog this site down with multiple posts. For the time being, we could submit
through email. I'll work on the page for my site in my free time, possibly start up the weekly reactions this Friday. If anyone has better ideas for
how to do it, or a really good reaction we could do for the first one, that'd be great!
I'm going to edit in my original post links to where the pages will be once I start them so people can just look at the top of this post for links.
Thanks!
Nathan

I like the idea as well. seems like it could be a little nudge of encouragement to get going, for those that tend to watch and read, but not
practice. my self included, as of late. just peeking the curiosity with something you haven't stumbled across in reading yet, could prove
productive.

If anyone as easy access to toluene, toluene disproportion to benzene and xylenes using anhydrrous aluminium trichloride could be a great start.
I never asked for this.

No, I hardly do.  But I'll make the website today, more sugestions would be
great!

Look at woelen's site: it has so many amazing reactions that are pretty easy to do if you want some cool reactions.

It would be nice if there was a youtube equivalent for just chemistry and science in general.
The problem with youtube is that if someone complains about your video, youtube deletes it and you get a warning.
Sometimes, they just mark it as inappropriate for children and you get a warning.

We must attach the electrodes of knowledge to the nipples of ignorance and give a few good jolts.
Yes my evolutionary friends. We are all homos here. |

I'll just be sticking to the website, but thanks for the idea!
The first experiment of the week will be up tomorrow (Ohio time )
Edit: IT'S FINISHED! Check out the link above Tell me what you think.

Kinda neat, but you have no discussion about the actual chemistry. Even to the point that some of the chemistry discussed is off. Woelen's site is a
very good resource for this kind of stuff. I'm not sure if I like the idea of weekly/daily reactions. Creativity can't be forced to work in a
schedule. A minor point is also the website itself, it looks and feels like mid 90's and could use some css magic.

While it's nowhere near an experiment a week, I do have a chemistry YouTube channel (as do many others here). Coincidentally I just made a commitment to myself that I would at least try to work on a new video every
weekend. Periodic Videos is a great channel that (..periodically..) posts great videos about the elements.
I've had my page up for a couple years now and have never had any videos taken down or complaints lodged (well, no complaints that I was made aware
of). I have had a couple weird copyright infringement claims, but I contested these and they were swiftly retracted.

I love both you're channel and Periodic Videos! I just wanted to have some simple, yet interesting open-ended reactions online that people could
enjoy, and have a predictable resource to get at least one reaction from a week. I post videos on my YouTube page (I've talked to you before on there,
Nathansaint1, Nathan Pimental), but I'd rather not make one a week.

I know, no discussion. I really don't know too much about complexes to write about their complexities (Heh heh?), but if people submit reactions, I
assume they will be able to explain them well. I just had to get the website started.
Hey! (In regards to it's looks) I don't have time to make it fancy, and I prefer to do the coding myself. I like programming and chemistry, but not
web design. BTW, there'd be no forced schedule.
