Equipment

The research activities are carried out in a research laboratory fully equipped for the synthesis of unstable compounds under inert atmosphere (lab. 202-203 and 116 at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering).

LABstar Glove Box Workstation

DESCRIPTION: Used for handling of moisture and air sensitive compounds under inert (Ar) atmosphere.

The Glove box systems has: interior working dimensions of 1200 x 780 x 920 mm (WxDxH); adjustable metal shelves; 2 antechambers (390x 600 mm and 120 x 400 mm); O2 and H2O analyzers (0-500 ppm and 0-1000 ppm); HEPA filters; PLC controlled gas purifying system.

Automatic Solvent Purification System

Automatic Solvent Purification System (MB-SPS-800-AUTO)

DESCRIPTION: Automated solvent purifying system with 5 working lines (hexane, dichloromethane, toluene, diethyl ether and pentane), with automated control system assured through a touchpanel.

The system can dispense up to 17 liters per solvent line (the maximum capacity of the solvent tanks), with a maximum flow of 2 liters per minute.

Controlled atmosphere working stations (using Ar as inert gas)

DESCRIPTION: The laboratory has 5 fumehood workstations equipped with Vacuum/inert gas manifold systems (Schlenk lines).

All workstations are equipped with double stage vacuum pumps (10-4mBar) outfitted with electronic manometers.

Controlled atmosphere working stations

For the computational studies (including the theoretical characterization of the new obtained derivatives), the group uses the facilities of the Babes-Bolyai University.
