Today our master’s student Mari Ojakivi submitted her thesis. She studied the reactions between 7 aldehydes and 4 nitrogen bases in charged droplets. For this, she built an in-house built electrospray system to generate the charged droplets. Mostly imines were observed as reaction products, but also amides were found in some reactions. For comparison, the same reactions […]

At the end of last year, our group got very happy news from Estonian Research Council, we received the personal research funding team grant to investigate synthesis in charged droplets (project abbreviation SNT). This new and exciting project allowed us to widen our team. In addition to masters student Mari Ojakivi, already working on the topic, Andi […]

Charged droplets occur everywhere in the world. They are created by the oceans (known as see spray aerosols), near waterfalls and in thunderstorm clouds. Such droplets are expected to play significant role in environmental processes. Similar droplets are also created in electrospray ionization (ESI) source. Mari Ojakivi joined our group three years ago to conduct […]
