Equipment available to our group

The impressive number of facilities and equipments from the research group of Prof. Dr. Karsten Meyer are available to us. Thank you, Karsten!

 

Our own equipment includes:

150 W Xenon Light Source

To investigate the photophysical properties of photoswitchable ligands and metal complexes we use our 150 W Xenon Light Source. The photoactivity of synthesized compounds can be spectroscopically monitored in situ by irradiating a sample in a quartz UV-VIS-NIR cuvette, or in a quartz NMR tube.

Our light source includes
1) an LOT Lamp Housing LSH102 with convection cooling equipped with a 35 mm quartz condenser (F/1.3), a rear reflector, a 150 W Xe UV-enhanced arc-lamp, filter holder, and a manual shutter.
2) an LOT Universal Power Supply LSN150 for 50 - 150 W arc-lamps.
3) a set of bandpass filters.

 

 

Schlenk-lines

In our laboratory reactions that require inert atmosphere are perfomed in Schlenk-lines. Nitrogen additionally passed through drying columns is used as an inert gas. The level of vacuum can be conveniently monitored by vacuummeters (Single Channel Vacuum Display coupled with Thermovac Transmitter TTR 91 from Leybold Vacuum).
