White mistletoe berries and dark green leaves hanging on a branch

Day 4 of #ChemAdvent24! 💋

Mistletoe is a parasite, attached to the host tree through a ‘haustorium’. It’s toxic but not usually deadly, containing phoratoxin and tyramine which cause blurry vision, gastric upset & possibly cardiac distress. Traditionally, it promotes fertility, hence the kissing!

Works on iPhone but the screen is too small to solve the puzzle. Try making the image square by resizing the window. I may update the code today so that there is an extra link that is more easily clickable. Image link maps are a bit 1996.

Well done! Hope you get today’s too.

Today’s challenge is trickier (and a bit messy—blame the impurities from aging in the cupboard!). Can you sort it out? 🧪🧠

Try our totally new #NMRadvent. There may be some chemical overlap! www.nmr.chemistry.manchester.ac.uk/advent24/

Despite having been here a while, I haven’t got in the habit of tagging #chemsky. The #NMRadvent challenge is suitable for those learning NMR for the first time through to seasoned experts.
