Oh this is just great. As a connaisseur of molecular compounds, this is a well-rounded set, and I wonder why I never saw this website before.

From DMT to phosphine to octanone to dioxin to novichok agents... they're all there. Hallucinogens, carcinogens, chemical weapons. Cool stuff, and well-written stories to go with the molecules.

Since it is down, an alternative MOTM is the one from the PDB:

More protein oriented, however.

The American Chemical Society (ACS, predominant professional organization for us chemists) does a Molecule of the Week:
