Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry/Image Request

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a tentative subpage for image requests on WikiProject Chemistry.

The aim here is to make bring existing articles alive by the use of interesting images. This can be accomplished by:

• photographs of samples of chemicals to give readers an idea of what they are beyond a one-dimensional text
• photographs of reaction set-ups to see what chemists do
• spectacular chemical reactions or similar, such as those shown on Flame test
• adding illustrative 2D or 3D line images to articles
• Please place all images on the Commons, so other language wikipedias can benefit from your hard work.
• Feel free to add to this list!

[edit] Space filling models, line models, reaction mechanisms

• Methylene - chemical structure for different species? -- Quantockgoblin 14:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Methylation - reaction schematic -- Quantockgoblin 14:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Ylidic/reasonance structures of Stable carbenes e.g. R¹R²N-C:-NR³R⁴ ↔ R¹R²N⁺=C^--NR³R⁴

[edit] Laboratory equipment

• A column chromatography setup for column chromatography
• simple chromatograms for Gas chromatography V8rik 16:40, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
• Sublimer with product on the cold-finger. I going to try to get a photo of this.--Smokefoot 21:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I have a photo of the cold finger at image:Cold finger 1.jpg but it's no product. Rifleman 82 17:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I've made a schematic representation of a coldfinger sublimation setup - see image:Sublimation_apparatus.png. However, I'm not sure if this section is for photos only, or whether 2D-representations are also acceptable? -- Quantockgoblin 17:31, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

      Absolutely! Nice work too. --HappyCamper 17:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Drying tube Rifleman 82 19:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
• Pasteur pipette, plastic and glass. Commons only has the plastic one, and that doesn't look very nice either. Rifleman 82 22:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
• Ignition tube in use for perhaps the sodium fusion test Rifleman 82 23:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
• Hirsch funnel Rifleman 82 23:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
• Vigreux column Rifleman 82 19:52, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• A rubber policeman. --HappyCamper 22:36, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chemicals

• Picture of a grignard reagent. --HappyCamper 21:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
• Photo of a stable carbene. This is a bit of a wild request, but if people are still in the habit of subliming stable carbenes, perhaps they could take a photo and upload it. A nice way to sublime these carbenes (when free from metals) is to place a tight fitting rubber filtration cone (the sort used for getting a good seal when using a Buchner funnel) half way up the outside of a schlenk tube and fill it with dry-ice acetone and gently heat the crude solid carbene in the bottom of the schlenk tube with warm water whilst applying a vacuum. The carbene sublimes as a nice white band, perfect for a photo. I would do it myself, but I'm no longer in the lab. Quantockgoblin 18:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Buckminsterfullerene in benzene. --HappyCamper 18:08, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Miscellaneous

• Pictures relevant for surface chemistry. --HappyCamper 16:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Photoelectron spectra. --HappyCamper 16:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• E. J. Corey. I have been unable to find a photo of EJ with the appropriate copyright. Maybe you'll have more luck. ~K 16:25, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Wanting to make a infobox for chemistry topics which looks similar to the Cuisine feel of infobox; would require a picture or diagram of something which personifies chemistry in both practical and theoretical instances. So, something like a beaker, Erlenmeyer flask, chemical formulae or notable chemist, just give a little more "oomph" to the wikipedia chemistry articles. JCraw 13:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Suggestions:
    • A mini table of elements? Maybe does not have enough "oomph", but would at least be instantly recognizable? -- Quantockgoblin 16:47, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Just to illustrate the idea, e.g.:

• • • 

- or -

• • • 

, the text can be changed - what dimensions do you need? --Quantockgoblin 18:46, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• • • Another option might be to use chemical hazards in some way e.g.

• • • 

Quantockgoblin 21:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I prefer the periodic table. Emphasizing the hazards of chemistry sends a bad message, in my opinion. --Ed (Edgar181) 13:25, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Ed, I think you are right - I was looking for something with a bit more colour/oomph - (more arrrghh than oomph it would seem!!) --Quantockgoblin 13:54, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

What if we made a collage of materials? --HappyCamper 14:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

• or maybe a bit chemistry apparatus "as seen on TV" e.g. (although I would need all the bits to be in the wrong order and some dry ice in there somewhere too!!):

or

or

or - just as a sort of idea, can be fancied up a bit?

• Sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide - better chemical structure? -- Quantockgoblin 14:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Something like Bis(trimethylsilyl)mercury? --Rifleman 82 15:22, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Call me a stickler but I think should be bent, not linear. Oddly now that you point it out I think Bis(trimethylsilyl)mercury should be linear on Hg not bent i.e. it should have a structure like dimethylmercury! And, thanks for drawing them -- Quantockgoblin 15:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Rifleman 82 - I spotted a typo in Sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, need to changes "S" to "Si" - and you're doing a great job -- Quantockgoblin 15:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

They look good to me --Quantockgoblin 11:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that! I've assessed the article now. Would you agree? I'm not sure what else can possibly be added at the moment. --Rifleman 82 02:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

How are these? --Ed (Edgar181) 15:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Ed They are great - thanks for drawing them! The only improvement I could suggest is that instead of drawing the trivalent P-compounds as planer, you could draw them as tetrahedral with a lone pair as the final axis. --Quantockgoblin 18:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Ed, also I think it is more clear if the 1, 2 and 3 of the R-groups are given in superscript e.g. R¹, R² and R³ - subscript implies number of substituents.

Good suggestions. I've made the changes. --Ed (Edgar181) 12:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Job done! --Quantockgoblin 16:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
