Apart from the standard techniques used in inorganic and organic syntheses, we also employ techniques that allow us to handle air-sensitive compounds (ligands and complexes), reagents and intermediates in our synthetic efforts. This is achieved using Schlenk techniques and the two gloveboxes available at the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (one at the group of Prof Andreas A. Danopoulos)
The glovebox is equipped with solvent scrubber and a freezer for crystallisations.
An integral part of what we do involves the characterisation of organometallic complexes. We achieve this using mainly multi-nuclear NMR (even for paramagnetic complexes) and other techniques, chief amongst which is Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction (Bruker D8-Venture @ NKUA Core Facility), which unveils unambiguously the molecular structure of our compounds and guides further reactivity.
