  1. The colors of copper

  2. The colors of cobalt

  3. For Anne — Ultramarine

  4. rose window at Chartres Cathedral, France

  5. Composition of Glass - SiO2 silicon oxygen When fewer than 1 out of 100 Si atoms is replaced by Cobalt, Co, the glass is deep blue. The blue color is due to an impurity in the glass. A small piece of glass having local order

  6. Ruby is corundum with chromium impurity Beauty due to Impurity Sapphire is corundum with iron and titanium impurities Emerald is beryl with chromium impurity

  7. Copper metal Verdigris Pigment as crystals Verdigris Pigment ground

  8. A porphyrin

  11. adamantane Frank Mallory said “Adamantane”. “C10 H14” “I find it to be a beautiful structure because of its shape and symmetry—the fact that you can trace out four chair-form cyclohexanes. Also it has the same carbon skeleton as diamond.” a piece of diamond

  12. Pat Carroll, X-ray crystallographer University of Pennsylvania “I've been thinking about your e-mail all weekend! Beauty in Crystallography, huh? It's a difficult thing to put into words because in crystallography, it's all wrapped up with that feeling that you get when you see a structure solving. It's got to do also with the complexity of things like molecules and unit cells and being able to view them in a way that brings out their simplicity.”

  13. http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cells/9903.html “You first wonder, "Why would those 4 chloroforms cluster there? Is there some kind of electronic interaction?" But when you switch to 100% vdW, you see how they fit into the "bowl" formed by the porphyrin. There would be another porphyrin on either side of the solvents making an infinite sandwich along the c-axis.” http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cells/960.html “When you first see this, you might wonder, ‘Why do they stack like that? Is there an electronic interaction?’ But when you switch to vdW, it's obvious that the two molecules just "fit" nicely together. I call these my "hugging" molecules.” Rob Scarrow, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry Haverford College Tetrapeptide Hexapeptide http:/macxray.upenn.edu/cells/1162hb.html “Structures. It’s neat how the molecules fit together.”

  17. Susan White, Professor of Biological Chemistry “What’s beautiful? Any big structure with lots of atoms.” Nitrate Reductase protein

  18. the molybdenum! 2 porphyrins!

  19. “Beauty does not reside in simplicity. Nor in complexity. For a molecule or a song, for a ceramic vase or a play, beauty is created out of the labor of human hands and minds. It is to be found, precarious, at some tense edge where symmetry and asymmetry, simplicity and complexity, order and chaos, contend.” Roald Hoffmann, Professor of Chemistry, Nobel Laureate my “hero”
