Under normal circumstances
we use an ordinary Schlenkline to handle O2 and H2O
sensible reactants
one of our gloveboxes
running with Argon.
Our Infrared spectrometer
and...
... mass spectrometer are
attached to the high-vacuum line.

common technique:
As our standard reactants are sensitive to hydrolysis, we use
Schlenklines which are evacuated up to 1·10-3
mbar. As inertgas argon or nitrogen are in use.
chemistry
with Si and Sn:
Some of our reactants or products are very volatile (e.g. b.p. of F3CBr
-56°C) so we need to work in a vacuum-line or modified
Stockapperatuses.
Crystal
structure/ X-Ray
For meassurements we need either single crystals which are fixed
directly onto the goniometerhead of X-Ray diffratometers or we have to
grow a single crystal from low-melting liquids by application of
in-situ techniques.
Gas-Phase
Electron-Diffraction
For experimental determination of molecular structures in gas phase we have taken over a 'Balzers Eldigraph KD-G2' (one
from two still existing ones). Currently we are engaged in
overhauling,
improving and testing the apparatus.
