Enhanced Deoxygenation of Solvents via an Improved Inert Gas Bubbling Method with a Ventilation Pathway.

ABSTRACT: We introduce an improved inert gas bubbling method for solvent deoxygenation, featuring a ventilation path alongside the inert gas inlet to enhance the efficiency and reproducibility. While essential for life, oxygen's reactivity can disrupt scientific and industrial processes by forming unwanted intermediates and deactivating catalysts, necessitating efficient deoxygenation methods. Traditional methods like freeze-pump-thaw (FPT) are effective but time-consuming, require stringent safety measures, and have potential limitations for use with aqueous and biological samples. Our enhanced inert gas bubbling method retains the simplicity and safety of conventional bubbling while achieving FPT-like deoxygenation efficiency, demonstrated by photoluminescence intensity and lifetime measurements i
