Pretty crystals were a surprise waiting for me when I collected my NMR sample today- shame it’s a known compound, but at least it shows me an alternative purification route to try when making this next time 😄

First reaction of the Price group is set up (if you can have a group of one 😜😄)
This reaction is the first step in making some organic ‘shrubbery’ or ligands, that I will later coordinate to a metal centre

Went looking for fossils on our local beach (a known site for
fossils), and found an ancient fossil of a tree stump and a root, I think from a lepidodendron from the Carboniferous era. ⚗️ 🧪
A gloved hand holding a portion of fossilised root with regular indentations on its surface, in front of a large cylindrical rock that appears to have a bark like surface, likely to be the fossilised stump of a lepidodendron.
