Question: have you ever been able to confuse molecules ?

Robert Woolfson answered on 15 Jun 2013:

People confuse molecules all the time. There’s whole areas of chemistry devoted to making molecules that show very different behaviour because of something we’ve done to them. One example is something called Frustrated Lewis Pairs, which are basically incredibly strong at attacking other molecules and are very useful in synthetic chemistry.

Me personally, I think I’ve made a confused molecule but proving it’s confused has been quite challenging. It’s not like we can just look at its face and see if it’s confused or not.
