Lab Equipment
Infrared Spectrometer - For the characterization of both metal complexes and of the ligands used to make them.
Potentiostat - For use in electrochemical invesitgations.
Solvent Stills - Our lab currently distills DCM, ethanol, and methanol.
Vacuum Solvent Purification System - Our lab currently uses a solvent purification system for acetonitrile, pentane, ether, toluene, and tetrahydrofuran.
Dry Glovebox - Our lab uses this box to prepare reagents for use in reactions on Schlenk lines as well as for storage.
Reaction Glovebox - Our reaction glovebox contains a miniature Schlenk line and OTHER STUFF that allow us to run reacitons.
Standard Working Space - Each lab member has their own hood to work in.
Crystallizations - Following the synthesis of new compounds, lab members typically crystallize compounds in order to obtain a structure.
UV-Vis
SQUID Magnetometer - For the analysis of a material's magnetic properties. And it has a website!
Mössbauer Spectrometer - A useful tool for determining the oxidation state of varioius nuclei. If you like iron, you'll love Mössbauer!
