One-electron bonds were first proposed in 1931 by Linus Pauling and have since been reported between heteroatoms. However, no direct evidence of their existence between carbon atoms had ever been observed, until now.

Accuracy is often defined as how close you are to the ‘true’ value. Yet if something has never been measured before, how do you know that what you measure is even close?

Fun fact.

J.J. Thomson won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1906 showing that the electron is a particle.

Ironically, his son, G.P. Thomson, won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1937 showing that it is not (or rather that the electron can also behave as a wave).

Rosalind Franklin, chemist & X-ray crystallographer, was born #OnThisDay in 1920. Her work on X-ray diffraction images of DNA helped lead to the discovery of the structure of DNA, but her efforts were only recognised posthumously. #RosalindFranklin https://t.co/VCUWj7BWCD
