Piece of Art or Science??

The microcope picture shows the screw dislocation crystal growth of Hexatriacontane (C36H74).

Well, the reason i show this photo is because i need to grow a crystal with the size of at least 50 times bigger than this. It's not impossible, but quite tricky. So far there's no reported literature in macroscopic single crystal C36H74.

I just need a few of these single crystals, put it into the machine, scan it, write my thesis, defend my work, publish it in J Phys Chem., and hopefully i can graduate.

The thing is I need 1 kg of this material for my experiment, and 50g of this material cost £33.70, i hope my boss gonna pay for it.

£33.70 is only for 50g ...i need 1 kg.. which is about £670.

If it's £33.70 for 1 kg, we would have bought, coz £33 spending in research in nothing...:p
