PSA: the @AlfaAesar "ChemSeal" bottles do NOT have a traditional sureseal (rubber septum under screw cap). The screw cap IS THE SEPTUM.  

The septum is also covered by a sticker, making it unclear that you SHOULDNT UNSCREW THE CAP 

I opened the bottle. I stared at the tBuLi, it stared back at me. We had a good time 

Alfa, this is unconscionable. The bottle was sealed with just a screw cap. This is not appropriate air free storage for pyrophorics (evidenced by large amounts of LiOH in the bottle)

It's a bit distressing that this particular chemical would suffer a downgrade in safety precautions from a major lab supply house. Stay safe out there, friends.

A series of thioether complexes of NbSCl₃ has been prepared and selected examples demonstrated as precursors to 3R-NbS₂ films; deposition of 2H-NbSe₂ from [NbSe₂Cl₃(SeⁿBu₂)] is also reported.
