This might be a long shot, but if anyone wants to do a #PhD in #Chemistry or #MaterialsScience in #Berlin, I have an open position in my lab at @tuberlin :
jobs.tu-berlin.de/en/job-posti…
The project is on modelling and measuring electrical conductivity of materials. I'm looking for someone with experience in DFT and python, also willing to work in the lab. Feel free to reach out by email or forward to anyone you think might be interested.
Funding is confirmed at 100% TV-L E13 for 2 years.
Just found out I wasted 3 weeks of work, a significant amount of solvent and other reagents because the commercial starting material is not what the bottle says it is to add insult to injury what is in the bottle isn't even clean, there is at least one other thing in there.
Hilariously (not really) the only reason I determined this was because I'm making something from the literature and none of my spectra were matching close enough. Went back to the start to check and remade the first step, it produced the same wrong thing. Tried some other conditions, same deal. Finally took an NMR of the starting material today.
I just received an opened bag of sodium percarbonate in the mail. I can barely tolerate the stuff at the best of times, and it spilled all over me and my floor. The bag wasn’t even remotely sealed.
How dangerous is this? I’m new to using oxygen bleach. I was fully clothed so nothing touched my skin and I put a respirator on right away and opened windows.
Help? I guess I just wipe it up with wet paper towels and throw it out (wearing gloves or course)
