Featured Molecule of the Month

Cover
July 2002
Vol. 79 No. 7
p. 896
Full Text
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).
