Diisopropylethylamine - Crystals in the bottle?

GreenD - 26-3-2012 at 11:57

An old bottle of Diisopropylethylamine has been located.

Inside, there are long sliver crystals.

It could be the salt, but how would the salt form in an enclosed bottle? Any other ideas?

PS: Bottle is labelled 99.5%

No, sorry. This lab doesn't have my camera. They are very small crystals, spidering out from a central crystal. No type of orthogonal shape or any geometry I can see.
