The plan was to grow a single crystal from this compound for a single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis to know the exact structure of the compound. But sadly it only gave these fluffy needle like crystals from every solvent what could be used for it’s crystallization.

Sublimed, superpure crystals of trichloromethyl-trimethylsilane at the wall of a flask. Interesting about this compound, besides it costs much if you would like to buy it, that it has a melting point at 130 °C if it’s sealed, but if you heat it in an open flask, it will sublime away in no time. And it has a quite characteristic odor, similar to camphor. Both picture is part of my portfolio, what is the collection of the best pictures from the blog.

Crystals of sublimed 2-(trifluoroacetyl)pyrrole. The raw reaction product what was an off-white crystalline compound with a melting point 50 °C was loaded in a test tube and left there for a few months. For now, these crystals formed at the wall what are perfectly pure 2-(trifluoroacetyl)pyrrole. If this compound is left on a Petri dish for a day, most of it will sublime away. 9:30 pm • 31 January 2015 • 377 notes • View comments

My new favorite: fluorescent crystals at the side of a test tube. Something new was made what crystallized on standing. Previously I could only make this compound as a powder and I was unable to grow crystals from it, since it’s nearly insoluble in everything, but now, with a little trick these nice crystals formed what are highly fluorescent and look great.
