Dark green crystals of nickelocene, sublimed and freshly deposited on a cold finger Sublimation of iodine. Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state. [1] The verb form of sublimation is sublime, or less preferably, sublimate. [2]
Camphor being purified on a sublimation apparatus. Note the white purified camphor on the cold finger, and the dark-brown crude product. Dark green crystals of nickelocene, freshly sublimed on the cold finger of the sublimation apparatus.
Camphor (/ ˈ k æ m f ər /) is a waxy, colorless solid with a strong aroma. [5] It is classified as a terpenoid and a cyclic ketone.It is found in the wood of the camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora), a large evergreen tree found in East Asia; and in the kapur tree (Dryobalanops sp.), a tall timber tree from South East Asia.
Crystals of ferrocene after purification by vacuum sublimation. Ferrocene is an air-stable orange solid with a camphor-like odor. [36] As expected for a symmetric, uncharged species, ferrocene is soluble in normal organic solvents, such as benzene, but is insoluble in water. It is stable to temperatures as high as 400 °C. [36]
Borneol can be synthesized by reduction of camphor by the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reduction (a reversible process). Industrially, a racemic mixture of camphor is used, leading to a racemic mixture of borneol and isoborneol. The chirality can be controlled by changing the chirality of camphor: (+)-camphor gives (−)-isoborneol and ...
Another version involves filling the device with a cold material (examples: ice, dry ice or a mixture such as dry ice/acetone or ice/water). [1] Typically a cold finger is used in a sublimation apparatus, [2] or can be used as a compact version of a condenser in either reflux reaction or distillation apparatus.
The spatial arrangement of carbon atoms in the adamantane molecule is the same as in the diamond crystal. This similarity led to the name adamantane, which is derived from the Greek adamantinos (relating to steel or diamond). [4] It is a white solid with a camphor-like odor. It is the simplest diamondoid.
The sublimation sandwich method (also called the sublimation sandwich process and the sublimation sandwich technique) is a kind of physical vapor deposition used for creating man-made crystals. Silicon carbide is the most common crystal grown this way, though other crystals may also be created with it (notably gallium nitride ).
