One of my fav pics: refining some palladium from 10% Pd/C. This awesome color is caused by the aqua regia and the palladium ions, I just love it!

Pictures from an organic chemistry laboratory
All of these pictures are taken by me, I own all rights and please write if you want to use them somewhere. Thanks!

Lithium-deuteride and lithium-aluminium-deuteride, a few simple reagents for stable isotope labelled chemistry, where instead of normal hydrogen, deuterium is used.
And also the key reactant for a fusion bomb :D
A few mg of acetylferrocene prepared freshly from ferrocene, currently drying on the rotavap. It looks like metallic crystals at the side of the breaker(:
A small sample of freshly sublimed ferrocene, a metallocene, the first ever discovered sandwich compound.
Anyone needs a hi-res pic? Beware, beautiful crystals could be found on the glass!(:
Dear followers,
This blog have just reached it’s 1000.-th follower! I know, that this is ain’t so much, but since the topic what I post about here is only interesting for a really small percent of the world I think that this is a really nice number(:
Thank you a lot for following/supporting this photo project with your interest, your comments and everything else. It feels awesome, that there is at least 1000 people in the word who has an interest in applied organic chemistry and likes this much this photo project.
Thanks a lot again for everyone!

A reaction after quenching it with some KI3. The carbon-mercury bond breaks, a carbon-iodine bond forms and this red mercury-iodide separates.
Isn’t it pretty?
This pretty yellowish stuff is some highly toxic and hazardous organomercuric reagent what was made in situ from some mercury(II)-acetate and an alkene.
Real, sweet organometallic chemistry(:
Working with micro amounts. The title reaction is a hydrogenation experiment with the Wilkinson caralyst, a pretty expensive rhodium based stuff.
The hydrogen bubbles through the needle into the reaction, hope that it will do something useful.
What test is the best to know that is there any aldehyde present if your tube? The silver mirror test!
A photochemical reactions product wainting for the workup. It has an adorable fluorescent green color, just loving it.
