bis[N-(Salicylidene)-5methoxytryptimine] copper(II). At least I think that's how it would be named. I created a Schiff base between 5-methoxytryptamine and salicylaldehyde. I then reacted that with copper II sulfate and triethylamine. I've been able to generalize the production of these complexes. Next I definitely like to try some more exotic ones complexing these imines with vanadyl and uranyl ions.

N-(Salicylidene)tryptimine fluorescing under blacklight. It needs to be recrystallized.

N-(Salicylidene)tryptamine. So as is it turns out it likes to form supersaturated solutions. Letting it cool down on its own didn't do the trick but cooling with stirring caused it to crystallize in seconds.

All of the glassware has gone out. I'm going through and making sure that I haven't missed sending anybody a tracking number. If you have any questions let me know.

The boxes arrived!! Everything should be going out tomorrow! One of you is about to get a megafuckton of packing peanuts. 😀😀

The Schiff base was fluorescent under common blacklight. Indole rings are good for that. However, bonding to the nickel cation clearly changed things because the complex isn't visibly fluorescent.

The nickel(II) complex of N-salicylidene-tryptamine. At least I'm pretty sure that's what the name of it would be. Look for the video to be out by tomorrow. :-)

All right guys we got all of the glassware orders today except for two. For those two we ran out of boxes for the larger pieces . The ones that we ordered the other day still haven't arrived yet but as soon as they come in we will get these other two orders out. Either way look for an email from me later on tonight that has the invoice with the tracking number for your package

It's looking like things are going to be shipped out Wednesday next week. There may be a couple exceptions if the items you ordered were very large. They might take a little bit longer because we want to get the right packaging so any risk of breakage in transport is minimized. But trust me we're on top of it. The company sending these out will generate a shipping invoice so youll get an email when its actually shipped with that diirectly from them. It's just to let you know that your stuff is on its way not to ask for more money. I was told directly that they didn't mind shipping out at a bit of a loss so long as it was domestic. It was only the overseas stuff where we couldn't do that. Anyway I am working on getting people's orders together and answering emails. As always I will keep you guys posted on any developments the moment I know them.
