Well, yet another ACS has come and gone. I leave you with a rainbow of chemistry talks.

"The formation of chromium rich particles by the dissolution of red clays in groundwater monitoring wells." Mysterious chromium in Oklahoma wells found out.

"Identification and characterization of off-flavor aroma impact compounds in canned orange juice"
Canned orange juice's flavor attributes are "tropical fruit, grapefruit, cooked/caramel and medicine." Yum.

"Research on environmental fate of phenanthrene in Lanzhou Reach of Yellow River." Math says the pollutants will be stable in the river sediment in 70,000 hours.

"The Pennsylvania Green fluorophore: A hybrid of Oregon Green and Tokyo Green for the construction of hydrophobic and pH-insensitive molecular probes." The search for the next fluorescent marker. Amazingly, there doesn't seem to be a band called "Tokyo Green."

"Highly efficient fluorene-based UV-blue light-emitting polymers with controlled effective conjugation length." Ah, making things that glow.

"Purple: The dye of dyes" A history lesson with recent archeological findings thrown in. I wish I had seen it.
