Re: What is turning my methanol yellow/orange??

Hi there,
The bottles are clear, which made me wonder if it wasn't something photochemical. Yes, the peak is intense (I made a concentrated sample because I wanted to be sure to see any other present components).
It does look like CH3I, but CH3I is a liquid, not a solid...
Still trying to see if I can get an IR, perhaps an NMR.
Thanks,
Trishia.
