Hello!
Maybe you know why oxygen level decreases when LiClO4 is opened in glove box with nitrogen atmosphere?
The oxygen level drop is very quick. Just open a bottle with LiClO4, and then O2 decreases...
Then it increases back within hours.
Maybe it coordinates oxygen-containing compounds (volatile organics) present in the glove box atmosphere. But the oxygen drop is quick. It seems strange that it could decrease the oxygen level in the whole system for several hours...
What do you think?
Yes, Dr. Artur Braun. The question is why the oxygen drop is very fast and stable. It's not high, however. About 2 ppm according to oxygen sensor. I just cannot believe that if I open the bottle with LiClO4 for short time it will clean the whole system for several hours. Instead, it seems like smth is evolved when the bottle is opened. But I have no idea what.
I care if this may interfere with my chemistry because I use coordination copolymerization catalysts in the same glove box.
Are you sure that [O2] decreases and the observation is not an artifact of the removal of water?
