Abstract
A method is described to aid the instruction of undergraduate and graduate students in inert atmosphere techniques. A highly oxygen-sensitive organometallic compound, a titanium metallocene, changes color form blue to yellow when exposed to dioxygen contaminant, thereby providing an easily visualized monitor for students learning to manipulate the special glassware and operations typical of inert atmosphere reactions.
