recrystallisation of oils?
«

Hi, I've got a metal complex which will not precipitate out as a solid, only as an oil. Similar species (slightly larger ligands) all form solids. Does anyone have any ideas about recrystallisation/solidification of oils? any help would be appreciated as it's driving me nuts!!

Have you tried triturating with a non-polar solvent like ether or hexanes?

In my experience chlorinated solvents don't work very well for precipitating metal complexes. Ether tends to work very nicely though.
