Hi all,
I'd like your help identifying a good kinetics experiment to run in the lab section of our graduate lab course. It should be a reaction that we can set up on a bench with inexpensive materials, that will take place safely in an NMR tube, and should take about one-half to five hours to complete at room temperature. (If done in ~30 min or so, then the students can witness the outcome; more than that, and they'll just set it up, watch the first few minutes of it, then leave and get the data later.) We can follow it using any high-sensitivity high-natural-abundance nucleus: 1H, 19F, or 31P being preferred.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
- Josh
