Made some 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-tosylate (or: 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl p-toluenesulfonate). This compound has a low melting point (36-38 °C) what means it crystallizes usually after a few minutes it I work with it in liquid form.

The first picture is the actual picture from a flask with some TFE-tosylate crystallized in it, the other 3 is cropped from this picture, because it has so adorable details, enjoy!

The photo could be purchased as a high quality print over here: HERE
