LABORATORY PROCEDURES: Things to know about the Freeze-Pump-Thaw degasification of liquids
For a long time, Freeze-Pump-Thaw degasification of liquids has been a common laboratory procedure to remove gases out of a reaction mixture, beside others methods.[1,2] In contrast to other procedures like the Schlenk technique of exchanging an unwanted atmosphere against an inert gas or the coloration of a compound via Seebach’s stain, there is no single individual behind it to name. This may not be a further problem during a reaction, but it actually is one when other people try to simulate it.
