- Kenneth Wade recently passed away. Here we discuss his time as a student in Nottingham and his famous (in some chemistry circles) Wade's Rules.
Speaking in this video are Martyn Poliakoff and Debbie Kays.

Wait.
They didn't call a ring of boron a boring?
On my lest chemistry exam I had to propose a method to detect amonia borane and couldn't come up with anything. Should have written "It squeaks".
And it squeaks!!
Also I'm glad to know Boron Girl is still hard at work protecting Nottingham from the evil forces of not-Boron atoms.
Thumbs up for our long not seen Debbie Kays!!!!
5:47
Professor Poliakoff at his loveliest and cutest.
min 05:54 "and it squeaks"
I love this man.
I giggled a little when he said that the inorganic chemist had to use carbon paper. :3
5:53 LOL Hilarious
Really well done. I'd heard about "Wade's Rules" from my undergraduate professors in the past. Never thought I'd see someone who knew the guy after whom the rules are named.
I am very happy to see you again professor.
I only watch these video's because Debbie makes them really interesting!
".. and it squeaks.. No it doesn't really squeak" LMAO! XD
Debbie loves boron!!!
Why am I up at 4 in the morning watching a video about Boron compounds? I am not a chemistry major.
Giants, on whose shoulders we all stand. Bravo Ken! Well lived indeed! Huzzah! for those with their names on rules and laws! Huzzah!
Thank you for this, much appreciated.
coming home from school and seeing this video is just great
I now have the theme from Wayne's World stuck in my head... and all this wonderful inorganic chemistry knowledge.
When I was an undergrad, I was in a lecture given by Ron Snaith, one of Wade's old PhD students. He was recounting the time when Wade proposed Wade's rules for the first time. Apparently this was met with "never mind that, it's your round!"
This was a wonderful video, I will try to find a copy of Wade's book thesis.
Dr Deborah Kays :)
watching this in canada at 4am right now wooooh
Watching in Kentucky, USA at 6 am - still amazing, even at this hour. lol
1:53 - Flip-Flop plant by the window.
I feel old when I watch a video that includes an explanation about carbon copying!
really great video!
Nice video! :) My last exam was also about Wade's rules :)
Could you guys do a video on alternative biochemistries that might drive extraterrestrial life?
For example, Ammonia, Methane, or Hydrogen Fluoride in lieu of Water as an organic solvent, or Boron in lieu of Carbon, or alternate photosynthetic processes.
Exobiology has always fascinated me.
This is not boring at all!
Thank you professor. Let's adopt the Greek letters for grades again!
see the monitor in the backround ? im using the same one right now ! :)
I miss Debbie! Get some more Boron videos :D
Well, now I know where the expression 'carbon copy' came from.
All very nice, but can we have some more discussion of those rules? Boranes (an indeed the structure of boron itself.) are intriguing subjects.
I liked this video. It was a nice peace of human history of a dedicated person.
So when will all these books be scanned into digital formats like .epub files? or at least copied by high definition flat bed scanners, into digital format. Or has this process taken place already?
This video taught me the exact meaning of the common phrase "Carbon copy".
Yay Debbie is back!
BTW, the rules don't seem very general, shouldn't all molecular structures be formed by quantum wave functions, electrical charge and temperature?
You should make a video on how to have a haircut like his
So H loosely forms 2 bonds when joined with Boron?
'Nido' means 'nest' and 'ragno' means 'spider' in Italian. ;)
I also had to hand draw figures and hand letter these figure in my dissertation (couldn’t even use rub off transfers). It was, however typed on an IBM Selectric electric typewriter (slightly out of the dark ages).
Is that plant in the background at #2:20 alive? O.o
The pic of Kenneth Wade reminds me of a combination of Fred Armisen and Rick Moranis.
Nice video!!!
u AGAIN!!!! you are everywhere; or there are many of you!
Was OCR called the Cambridge Union earlier in its history?
"they'd react together and they'd squeak" hahahah
Google had a doodle on Percy Julian recently. A video on him would be nice
E.Kenway
RIP Ken wade
Can wade rules be applied to professor's hair?
but what are these borane molecules used for? do they have any applications?
How can hydrogen bond with more than one element? I thought it only has the one free electron to bond with?
maybe you mixed it with nitrogen?
LOL "wiggle wiggle"
5:53
Did he actually make a joke? A joke that actually made me grin? Woah.
All I can think of when I hear "Wade's rules" is "Wayne's World!"
4th? My life is complete. E=mc^2.
When they say "Ken Wade" I keep hearing "Kenway" like Edward Kenway from AC4 or his son Haytham from AC3
Shame we lost such a brilliant mind.
Diborane is fascinatingly bizzarre: how can one hydrogen atom have, in effect, two bonds to it? It's stronger than the usual hydrogen bonding, I know.
So that's where the term carbon copy came from in emails O.o
There will be no record cards 70 years from now. I think that they would be hard pressed to even have records from 15-20 years ago, given the retention time of digital formats.
Boron, kind of weird element
How on earth does hydrogen have 2 bonds in diborane?
Everything taught to you in intro chem is incorrect.
The 2 bonds aren't quite whole bonds. They have a much longer bond length than the singly bonded H's coming off the ends. Without delving into molecular orbital theory, a simple explanation is that each hydrogen in the bridge has a half bond to each boron.
After searching a bit, I found a concept called "three-center two-electron bond." As its name implies, two electrons are shared among three atoms. This is the case in the diborane compound with those hydrogen "bridges". It may be worth checking out for the interest.
It squeaks XD XD.. I love Professor Poliakoff
Just thought I'd comment as no one have done it for years
What is the most dangerous chemical reaction you've ever done?
Someone needs to develop a boron-nitrogen compound that squeaks.
'younger researchers like me' ummmm
The Professor was a doctoral student in the 60s, if I recall correctly.
finished reading your comment right as that part of the video was playing :)
Lol boron enthusiasts
Boron isn't boring.
Wow, I never knew what a carbon copy was before. Imagine what we'll be looking back on in the future. "And we had to attach the files to our emails and send them out! So much manual work, life is so much easier nowadays with our brain-channeled hyperlinks and stuff."
Can't VSEPR theory describe the same things Wade's Rules are trying to determine?
"Wiggle, wiggle..."
Debbie.
arrgh! i can't take that plant on the window out of my head!
2:17
2 BH3's aren't the only 2 things coming together ; D
This audio, to the video of liquid oxygen cauldron from mid 2013.
Never been first before :o
Love these videos :D
who cares who is first to comment ffs
That book must have been BORing, that's why nobody's BOROed it for so long :P
Sorry that was a bad joke...
An "inorganic chemist"!? Was he a robot?!?
I wonder what caused Prof Ken Wade to pass away unexpectedly?
Tempted to get the thesis out of Hallward........
That's not really his hair. Those are actually his eyebrows. Epic, epic eyebrows.
Did he just pronounce roentgenium "rentegenum"?
And it squeaks.
and it squeaks
Cool It squeaks
4th
...Boron.
I think the professor should initiate a new field of study: Wiggly Giggly Chem.
It enables chemists doing their experiments to understand their results. Isn't that the whole point of Chemistry as a science?
