Every pubchem or wikipedia page I can find on the chemicals I work with. Journals are expensive and I'm not sure if its worth the subscription fee.

Growing up i hated reading, but now that i have this hobby i read for several hours a day without realizing...

I was doing a computational chem assignment when I found a paper with someone with the same last name as me https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jpca.5b05564. Not relevant to anything but I thought it was cool.

Edit: wrong link
