Hybrid Laboratory

This lab is dedicated to mineral and mineral precursor synthesis using organic chemistry or advanced inorganic chemistry methods requiring special conditions, such as anoxic and/or anhydrous atmosphere or the use of hazardous chemicals. For this purpose it contains all the equipment necessary to perform almost any chemical process reasonably expected in synthetic chemistry. The lab is also used to produce starting materials to be used in other projects if obtaining them commercially is impractical or not possible. The lab contains the following significant equipment: Ar/Vacuum manifold (Schlenk line) and Büchi R-100 Rotary evaporator.
