CRSEXP046

=Researcher= Andrew Buss

=Objective= This experiment had two objectives. 1) To determine if an applied voltage would impart any changes on acetonitrile in the absence of electrolyte, and if so at what voltage threshold. And 2) to determine if the non-inert copper electrodes have any effect on the system.

=Results= [|CRSEXP046 Pure ACN HNMR] (deuterium oxide lock) [|CRSEXP046 Supernatant HNMR] (deuterium oxide lock)

13:04 Measured 0.746g acetonitrile for analysis 13:06 Picture 1, 2, 3 taken 13:08 Applied voltage ramp starting at 0.0V, 0.0A at a rate of 1.3V/min 13:17 First sign of black solid accumulation at cathode. Anode appears unchanged or possibly even more polished. 13:25 Ramp rate stopped at power supplies' Vmax: 23.5V, Picture 4 taken 13:36 Power switched off 14:00 Picture 5 taken 14:05 Solid will not dissolve in d-chloroform or deuterium oxide 14:15 NMR 1, 2 taken
