This document summarizes a presentation given by Sílvia Simon, Jordi Poater, Miquel Duran, and Miquel Solà on communicating research with limited time, energy, space, and money resources. The presentation discusses the need to find new analogies and innovate in how research is communicated to the public using low-cost tools. It also touches on using everyday analogies to help explain concepts from quantum chemistry, such as Schrodinger's cat, to non-expert audiences.

Editor's Notes
- In chemistry there are many concepts which are very difficult to be explain. Sometiomes it is because their explanation invole mathematics or some abstraction. BVu may be the most difficult think is that they are not related to any everyday experiencie. An exemple is when we introduce entropy in thermodinamics. It is always much more difficult that talking about energy, that it is something that they can extrapolate to some “real” thing. In that presentacion we would like to talk a very succes research line in the group leaded by Prof. Solà, aromaticity.
- So, aromaticity is due to the electron delocalization within a ring. So we need to have electrons to be eable to be delozalized, so the pi ones (forming the doble bond) are the ones delocalized. So, any molecules with pi electron confined within a ring will be aromatic, presenting extra stabilization? NO! They need to follow some rules.
- In order to explain the difference between both molecules MO can be introduced. They are the representation of a pair of electrons. (take two cards, with different color and explain the that al MO are build by two of them, with different color). From the occupation (number of electrons) we can see that ….. So we need somtimes to introduce more complexes where it is difficults to fins everyday experiences, but the use of some tool (cards) can help to make our students to remember them.
- When one talks aromaticity, they immedialty relate it to smell/fragancy. But it is no that aromatic compounds are not longer related to the aroma but to the extrastability that some compounds present. This is the case of benzene, wchih is more stable than the correponding trien.
- In that map we have two large cities with different populations (and different surface at the same time). The population density will be different in both cities, being larger in Barcelona (atom F in the HF molecule). We have people (cars) traveloing from one to another city. So electron density will change along the way to BCN from GRN. But this is the way of bonding both cities. If we analyse the number of cars (electron density) that go from GRN to DCN we will see that theri density is changing. We can see from the picture that near the city center the traffic is larger (orange), and proportional to the city size. Therea people leaving from Girona going directly to BCN, but many other just stop in some village between both bid cities. In that sense, between both center there will be a point where the density of cars is the samllest one. This is very nice everyday experience to explain what about electron density!
- But what about benzene? What makes benzene to be so stable. The round circulation around BCN (the two rondas, de dlat and litoral) are a good example expalinig thei phenomena. If there wold be only on roand going from noth/south Barcelona there will be a big amount of cars, as all of the need to go through it independently of where they need to go. When all points are connected with a round road it is much easier to circulate, so in some wuya the traffic gets stabilized.
- The Hückel’s rule is the one that need to be fulfilled for planar cycloootatetraenes. Benzene with 6 electrons fulfills the rule whiel ciclybutadiene has only 4 electrons. At that point it is not easy to find out an everyday analogy to explain these rule (and many other phenomenas which are base on quantum chemistry). --- Schödinguer card (performing the job to understand the differences from classic to quantum world).
