Hi,
I am unaware of any MOTM site in the States. There is a MOTM page in Spain at the University of Zaragoza http://lrf1.unizar.es/lrf/motm/I_lrfmotm_actual.html I am creating a WWW site for Instructors of Chemistry and hope to be online by Feb. Part of the site will be a Molecule of the Week, of interest to chemistry educators. The first molecule will be NO, which is used in high school and intro college chem courses here as an exception to the octet rule. The interesting thing about NO is that it has been implicated in regulating agression in male mice (Nature 378, 383-386, 1995). This finding might stimulate some interesting background discusson in intro chem courses when the somewhat boring Lewis structures are presented.
When your site comes on-line, let us know and I'll put a link from the MOTM page to yours. If you want to expand some of the info in the MOTW pages a bit and create a MOTM, feel free. I still need one for March ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Paul May, School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, UK tel: +44 (0)117 9287667, fax: +44 (0)117 9251295 email: paul.may@bris.ac.uk WWW: http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/staff/pwm.htm "Another squashed hedgehog in the gutter of the information superhighway" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
