摘要：

The molecules that exist naturally on the earth and those made in laboratories are produced by a common process: synthesis. When chemists design new compounds, they can either emulate nature or be guided by the whims of the mind. The author explores the paradoxes that arise by describing the creation of a widely used antibiotic and an utterly useless, perfectly beautiful iron compound.
