Chocolate Molecule Theobromine Magnets

Theobromine is the primary alkaloid found in cocoa and chocolate. There are usually higher concentrations in dark than in milk chocolate. It has an effect similar to, but lesser than, that of caffeine in the human nervous system. Theobromine was first discovered in 1841in cacao beans by Russian chemist Alexander Voskresensky. Synthesis of theobromine from xanthine was first reported in 1882 by Hermann Emil Fischer.

Here's a 3-D representation of theobromine, the molecule found in chocolate that is related to caffeine. It's rendered in a chocolate-y brown (except I liked the translucent color better than opaque brown). I can render this molecule in other colors and against other backgrounds -- just let me know if you have a request.

This graphic design with chemical structure of chocolate, is a perfect gift for all the scientists, biology enthusiasts and chemistry student and teacher.

Here's chocolate, spelled using the periodic table element symbols, together with the theobromine molecule (the caffeine-like feel-good molecule in chocolate).
