Last month I posted a scheme from a paper by Jonathan H.

And if like me, you have a general interest in chemistry, as well as some interest in economics and history…
In this post I’m highlighting a couple of papers that are essentially two sides of the same coin. As a process chemist, I’ll be the first to admit that the chemistry I’m about to describe is not going to end up in your manufacturing route any time soon, but as a former card-carrying medicinal chemist…
In George Orwell’s classic 1945 novella ‘Animal Farm’ the revolutionary livestock develop the slogan “Four legs good, two legs bad” to summarize their views on the farmer and other humans.
