my friend said: so i've had my first failure.... but upon further consideration i think i just used too much water (overlooked wet i2). pseudo seemed wonderfully clean, which i fucking hope it was cuz i had sum low ass yields (but who cares, i just found a way cheaper source, and right under my nose!). 1.5gE:3Ig:2gMBRP:4 drops of H2O. E was fb, i was wet, mbrp i have no reference for quality
EDIT: the pseudo source i mention is just another store that's cheaper than the rest
a pinch of I2 and mbrp when placed in a test tube with a drop of water fumed when heated and kept on fuming after removal of heat for some time. is this enough to have complete faith in the rp? I2 is guarenteed as it's made fresh from bulk KI
so about the rxn, it went black and bubbled little tiny bubbles for a few hours in an oil bath at around 130c. i couldn't find that thread with pictures of the various stages of the rxn, nor could i find one that described them in detail. If anyone knows where these threads are it'd be much appreciated
upon workup i over acidified to 2-3 or so. is this the cause of my complete lack of return? i only did a single pull on the rxn fluid, but it was enough to conclude that i've fuct something up or taken it off too early. figured i'd get sum input and start fresh
bottom line: it's about fucking time i did something with my labware! thx beez!
