Failure to Produce Fake Results Confirms a Model

Published by ideonexus

One of the most striking evidences of the reliability of the organic chemist's methods of determining molecular structure is the fact that he has never been able to derive satisfactory structures for supposed molecules which are in fact nonexistent.

Louis Plack Hammett, Physical Organic Chemistry; Reaction Rates, Equilibria, and Mechanisms (1970)

Notes

Example from organic chemsitry's inability to produce structures for molecules that do not exist.
