A cartoon about Kekule’s snake dream about the molecular structure of benzene.
Friedrich August Kekulé (1829 – 1896) was a German organic chemist.
He is reputed to have had a dream in which snakes held their own tails, giving him a clue to the molecular structure of benzene.
This is an example of my cartoon strip published in Chemistry World, the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
