Equipment
At present, our team occupies five laboratories of various sizes and six offices. The standard laboratory equipment enables small-scale synthesis and purification of organic, organometallic, and coordination compounds.
The more specialized apparatus includes UV-Vis spectrophotometers (Hewlett-Packard 8453, 2x Varian Cary, Jasco V-770), fluorometer (Jasco FP-8600), two HPLC setups (Hitachi - analytical, Shimadzu - up to semi-preparative), multifunctional electrochemical analyzer (MTM Kraków) potentiostat/galvanostat Autolab PGSTAT100N (Methrom), glovebox (MBraun), Flash chromatography, GC-MS (Agilent 8890/5977b).
The nature of our investigations makes NMR our main spectroscopic tool. Accordingly, we make ample use of the departmental NMR facility (Bruker AMX 300, Avance 500, and Avance III 600). X-ray (including XtaLAB Synergy R), ESR, and low- and high-resolution mass spectrometric measurements are also taken in the central labs of the Department.
