Trans-dibromoethene molecule
Trans-dibromoethene molecule. Computer-generated molecular model of trans-dibromoethene (C2H2Br2). The trans form of dibromoethene has bromine atoms (red) on opposite sides of the carbon atoms (black), which are connected with a non-rotating double bond. Hydrogen atoms are white. Cis- dibromoethene (not seen) has the bromine atoms on the same side of the carbon atoms. Dibromoethene has been used to fumigate fruit and vegetable produce to kill pests. However, there is concern about its effect on human health because it is carcinogenic (cancer-causing). See image A700/209 for cis-dibromoethene

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer-generated molecular model showcases the intricate structure of trans-dibromoethene, a compound with significant implications in both chemistry and health. The symmetrical arrangement of carbon atoms (depicted in black) is connected by a non-rotating double bond, while the bromine atoms (shown in red) are positioned on opposite sides. This unique configuration distinguishes it from its counterpart, cis-dibromoethene, where the bromine atoms reside on the same side. While dibromoethene has been employed as a fumigant for fruits and vegetables to combat pests effectively, concerns regarding its impact on human well-being have arisen due to its carcinogenic properties. As such, this image serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between scientific advancements and potential risks associated with chemical compounds. The detailed illustration provides valuable insights into organic chemistry's complex world while emphasizing the importance of understanding molecular structures' effects on biological systems. With its horizontal orientation and precise depiction using ball-and-stick models, this artwork exemplifies how visual representations aid scientists in comprehending chemical interactions at an atomic level. Science Photo Library presents this print that not only captures the beauty of science but also prompts contemplation about our responsibility towards balancing progress and safeguarding human health.
