Second, Sigma should be hosting a wiki for each of its products. First off, we need a JoVE like website for organic synthesis. Second, Sigma should be hosting a wiki for each of its products.

Adding to what several others have already mentioned it does seem that OpenWetWare is a perfect fit for this.

There are many alternatives on the web today. And are you going to personally vouch for the veracity of the wiki's claims??? You won't know when you're being scammed.

Sonicators work fine also - in our medchem lab we stopped using freeze/thaw. Just 5-10 min of gentle sparge with Ar through the septa while the flask is sonicated works fine for all Pd(0) reactions.

I am sure I would try to contribute to some techniques. It would be nice to greatly exceed the excellent information already available at places like <a href="http://chem.chem.rochester.edu/~nvd/" rel="nofollow">NotVoodoo</a> or <a href="http://www.alsnotebook.com/home.html" rel="nofollow">Al's Notebook</a> among others...

There are already a lot books and pages about that kicking around and unless you can contribute something really significant I don't see the point. A lab wiki would be most valuable as a place to find general descriptions accompanied by peer reviewed references and a discussion page where people can share their personal experience.

Very fun stuff indeed, especially neat. My first job out of college was working in a lab that made and used Me3Al on *large* scale. Very fun stuff indeed, especially neat.

I have to do freeze-pump-thaws on a regular basis, and it doesn't take much to freeze out argon and then get a faceful of surprise when you thaw too quickly. That sounds like a pretty good idea.
