    This Nobel prize is a godsend because my project works with click chemistry. Now I don’t have to explain what that is to my colleagues because everyone knows now.

    My undergrad literature review is on click chemistry - specifically the azide-alkyne reaction - so it was really great news to hear that three authors whose work I've been studying had won the prize!

    Click chemistry with copper and azides!
    I used it when i was graduating as a way to attach denaturated DNA to solids for later analytic use. That was 10 years ago, but I remember it as an interesting and very useful tool.
    Well deserved Nobel prize!

    Even though I'm not a chemist & only have a rudimentary understanding from high-school (50yrs ago) & of course your great YT videos, I still find all these discoveries fascinating especially when they're so well explained by your presenters!

      @Stevie-Ray -- I'm sitting here in the same boat as you. The only chemistry that I use almost daily is in the kitchen, although I am facinated by, and only understand the processes in some of these videos. "Periodic Videos" and "Objectivity" are amongst my very favorite channels and ones that I actually watch repeatedly to get a better understanding of the content. I too haven't formally studied any Chemistry since high school in the 1960's.

    I’m an undergrad working on some organometallic synthesis, and purification is by far the hardest portion. After 20+ H-NMR spectra it’s easy to read and do data analysis. What is impossible is subliming my compound without breaking and frying it. So either I use liters of solvent testing what would clean the best or I keep burning it. Organometallics in GC/MS would even be more of a struggle with ordering the right column. One day I hope to publish my first paper and someone being able to extend it further with their 20+ years of experience

    One of the projects I was involved with in my undergraduate studies involved the Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne reaction. We were making ligands for metals with the intention that they could be dyes for solar cells. That is, the part that has an electron excited by being with a photon and pushes that electron into the circuitry.

    I did a click reaction for my studies 5 years ago. I was impressed by the expedient reactivity and the bright yellow insoluble product at the end. One of my best reports due to the simplicity of set up and purification process .

    Very cool to see click chemistry in the spotlight now and especially some chemistry that I actually know and understand! I tried to use it in some of my postgrad biology very similarly to the experiment Christopher showed (complete with THPTA and fluorescent ligands), though I didn’t get as nice results as we saw in the video.

    Like key pairs matching in a search system - this is probably how ribossomes are so efficient in generating extremely low probability products - each catalytic locus is very low energy, but the chain is large an the combined energy of weak partial matches makes the chain termalize into a reaction.

    This is truly deserving of accolades! However my question now is: How much effort and reaction time is spent on the precursors (reactants) for a click reaction. If they are indeed strained or reactive molecules, surely a lot of energy and chemicals went into prepping them?

But I contrast these explanations with engineering discussions and physics. Is it because we’re talking about molecules? In other words, we can’t put things in a vice, so we’re literally tossing a salad and hoping for the best.. (?)
