We have access to IR and UV-vis spectroscopy as well as HPLC for additional product characterisation.
We thank the National Mass Spectrometry Facility (Swansea) for all their hard-work performing nominal and accurate mass work on all our compounds, from proligands to sensitive metal complexes and reaction intermediates.
