Crystals!

.So yesterday, we re-ran one of my reactions that had gotten good results. But, this time our results were different. Instead of getting a few crystals and a greenish oil, we got a jar full of crystals, and the only green was a greenish tint to a few of the crystals. It was so cool. This means that if the results are the same, we can continue more quickly with adding this BOC ligand to PDT-cat! Recrystallization takes awhile, because you have to leave it in the fridge for a very long time, but because our crystals were already there to start out with, everyone is pleased.
