Coordination complexes Memes

The perfect illustration of chemistry's split personality! Organic chemists live in their neat little world where carbon forms a maximum of 4 bonds and anything more complex is dismissed as "probably just a mistake in the drawing." Meanwhile, transition metals are over here forming coordination complexes like this cat absolutely COVERED in CO ligands. Metal centers be like: "You think 4 bonds is impressive? Hold my beaker while I coordinate with 18 carbon monoxide molecules simultaneously." The poor organic chemists would have an existential crisis if they had to memorize all those d-orbital interactions!
