Label 1,4,5-Tryaryl Triazole Artist Yael Medley Description This is a 1,4,5-tryaryl triazole which is rotated to show that the aryl groups are twisted. This molecule can have two different hydrogen bonding conformations. The conformers fluoresce at different wavelengths and therefore have excitation dependent emission. This may be useful in creating white OLEDs. The structure shown…

Label Bacterial Winter Artist Jane Benoit Description A bacterial plate infected with unknown contaminates held up to a window to show the winter sky. The plate was made by a colleague in the lab and left in the refrigerator where it became infected. The infection makes an intricate pattern that is evocative of snowflakes. Type…
