You ever have one of those days where you do something in lab that’s totally routine, but then you encounter something that just makes you happy to be a chemist? I had one of those today. Most of the compounds I deal with are oils or liquids, but today I made a compound that crystallized after concentrating the organic layer after the reaction. Nice white crystals with no purification at all. That freakin’ rules.
I kinda want to try to sublime it now, because sublimation is easily the best part of chemistry.
