Provenance |
Molecular model designed by Sir Derek H.R. Barton. Model used for visualization of 3-dimensional geometry of steriods and related molecules made up of cyclohexane rings. Used by D.H.R. Barton and his research students in the days he was developing his principles of conformational analysis. (1948 - 1956) |
