The WebWare molecules of the month for the month of September are discussed in the article by Gail Horowitz, “A Discovery Approach to Three Organic Laboratory Techniques: Extraction, Recrystallization, and Distillation”. In the extraction part of the experiment, students use aqueous washes to remove a highly polar colored contaminent (crystal violet) or a nonpolar colored contaminent (fluorenone) from a desired compound (fluorene).

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.)
