Tris(acetylacetonato)chromium(III)


That is the Chemical that we generated during a Summer chemistry course at Ithaca College, in 1981. I also stayed after the course and worked for the Chemistry department afterwards. That was pretty fun, although it included starting up a really old department computer by Paper Tape (and I could have done it bit by bit from the control panel, as well).

Anyway, I wanted to mention the name of the chemical, since it would be interesting to find out who went to that course with me - nothing was online then, and I can't remember anyone's last names...

Tris(acetylacetonato)chromium(III) - a cool substance. Also my first exposure to NMR/MRI machines, where I got to run the machine myself. Note that Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is the old name for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which is whithout the word Nuclear, so as to not scare people.
