Solvent Information
• Chromatographic grade ethers, which can contain peroxides (for
example, THF, dioxane, di- isopropylether) such ethers should be filtered
through dry aluminium oxide which adsorbs the peroxides.
• Solutions of organic acids (acetic acid, formic acid, and so on) in
organic solvents. For example, a 1 % solution of acetic acid in methanol
will attack steel.
• Solutions containing strong complexing agents (for example, EDTA,
ethylene diamine tetra- acetic acid).
• Mixtures of carbon tetrachloride with 2- propanol or THF.
