Decided I wanted to do a series of minimalist chemistry Sherlock graphics.  I apologize for the Cyclohexane molecule as I had to draw it myself, so sorry if I got it wrong.  I’ve used the same colours as I have on my season/episode t-shirts because, as a synesthetic, that’s the colour each episode is.  Either that, or it’s a dominant colour in the episode.

A Study in Pink

Tetrodotoxin—frequently abbreviated as TTK.  A neurotoxin for which there is no known cure.  Relevance to the episode:  while not established as the method of death, I figured some sort of neurotoxin is probably what killed them.  Admittedly, I have no training in that area.

The Blind Banker

Dichlorodifluoromethane—Freon-12.  A common aerosol spray propellant.  Relevance to the episode:  spray pant was a definite feature of the episode, so I chose to use an aerosol rather than a pigment.

The Great Game

Pentaerythritol tetranitrate—PETN.  An explosive, found in, among other explosives, Semtex.  Relevance to the episode:  Semtex was Moriarty’s apparent plastic explosive of choice in the Game, putting several victims in bomb vests.

A Scandal in Belgravia

Dopamine—a neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure, including as a result of love.  Relevance to the episode:  This episode dealt with love on a number of levels, and I personally adore the break-down of love as a chemical reaction from the ending of the episode.  Probably the main factor in doing this graphic set.

The Hounds of Baskerville

Cyclohexane—a solvent.  Relevance to the episode:  Practically zero in reality.  It was one of the few in the screenshot of the HOUND experiment records I was able to properly identify (that had a large image-size reference molecular diagram), though it and all the other ones I IDd had practically no medical purpose—most were solvents or used in (if memory serves) the petroleum industry.  Why did my favourite ep have to be such a problem child?

The Reichenbach Fall

Calcium carbonate—a substance found in rocks and seashells.  Relevance to the episode:  One of the more common man-made uses of calcium carbonate is used as one of the ingredients in road paving.  This includes sidewalks.

Austrian National Library, Vienna, Austria. This structure was built by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach between 1723 and 1735, according to a design by his father Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. Both names represent the highest quality in architecture and the Grand Hall of the National Library is said to be the most beautiful library room in the world. (Photo by Candida Höfer)

Most people blunder around the city, and all they see are streets and shops and cars. When you walk with Sherlock Holmes, you see the battlefield.
