Using chromatography to separate coordination complexes??

We are significantly changing both our course and lab curriculum. One of our goals is to break down barriers between inorganic, organic and biochemistry by treating similar topics in each at the same time rather than in three different courses. For example, one of the lab courses focuses on the use of different types of chromatography used in the three fields.

drying pyridine

Submitted by Barbara Reisner / James Madison University on Wed, 01/14/2009 - 13:10

I need to do a reaction with dry pyridine. I know I can buy it dry, but I want to be able to keep it dry for future use. (The lab that I'm currently working in is poorly set up to do this type of thing; that's what I get for doing a sabbatical in a Materials Science and Metallurgy Department.) Can I just throw in some molecular sieves and blanket it with nitrogen after use in a glove bag?
