Featured Molecules July 2002
The WebWare Molecules for July are from the paper Modern Sport and Chemistry: What a Chemically Aware Sports Fanatic Should Know by Giffin, Boone, Cole, McKay and Kopitzke. One of them, the monomer of Kevlar, is shown below. The "free valences" at the terminal N and C atoms are the sites of polymerization (depicted as bromine in the Chime representation).

Viewing Requirements

In addition to the static image, two fully manipulable versions (Jmol, MDLChime) of these molecules appear below. (The Jmol versions may take a few extra seconds to load, based on the speed of your Internet connection.)

 

Monomer of Kevlar

Note: Terminal Br atoms are used to represent the polymerization sites.
