Easy Mistakes Explained: Misplaced Modifiers
1)We have also developed a library of azoles, which are π-electron compounds with a large twist between electron-accepting and electron-donating sites linked via the azole ring, and developed a simple synthetic method.
Using the sentence above as an example, we will explain some mistakes commonly made when writing chemistry papers.
Underline 1:
The modifier p-electrons with a large twist is unclear and whether the library of azoles or azoles is modified is vague. Thinking logically, azoles are p-electron compounds with a large twist is not strictly true, but a library of azoles that have a large twist between accepting and donating sites is not a problem. That is to say, if we recall our basic knowledge of organic chemistry, we will understand that library of azoles is being modified, but this should be clearly conveyed.
Let us rewrite the compound sentence.
We have developed a library of p-electron compounds, azoles with a large twist between electron-accepting and electron-donating sites linked via the azole ring, and developed a simple synthetic method.
In doing this, the modifier relationship has become clear.
We look forward to seeing you next time.
