Jacob,
Check out this book, The Manipulation of Air Sensitive Compounds by D. F.
Shriver and M. A. Drezdzon ISBN: 0-471-86773-X .
It describes Schlenk techniques in detail, but also explains other
techniques and apparatus that may be useful to your research. I'm not sure
about the original Schlenk, but I think that it was a long vessel with a
sidearm to allow for working in inert atmosphere. We use the term Shlenk
to refer to these vessels, however it also can be used in a broader context
like "Schlenk techniques" meaning different types of manipulations e.g.
filtration, chromatography, etc. that might involve these kinds of vessels
and inert atmosphere techniques.
Later,
David
