@deadlyvices I'd want a good smattering of illegal, silly and whimsical ones, just to pepper the standard stuff with something that makes you sit up and notice. Years ago I provided proton COSY, HMQC, HMBC etc etc spectra of cocaine to a cohort of 4th year students. Boy did they get excited…("Where'd d'you score it ?😂"). It was an historical sample. The vial was labelled in Norman Collie's handwriting, William Ramsay's successor as Prof here at UCL Chemistry.

@sellathechemist Actually, that's a really good idea for showcasing new functionality! It would certainly attract attention!
