Coordination chemistry came about from the work of Alfred Werner, a Swiss chemist who examined different compounds made up of cobalt (III) Chloride and ammonia. When hydrochloric acid was added, Werner noticed that ammonia could not be removed completely. He then suggested that the ammonia must bind more tightly to the central cobalt ion. However, when aqueous silver nitrate was added, one of the products formed was solid silver chloride. The resulting amount of silver chloride was related to the
Bioinorganic Coordination Chemistry This experiment uses H2TTP made during the last lab and hydrated copper (II) acetate to convert the H2TTP to Cu(TTP). The reaction proceeds by being refluxed for 30 minutes. The final product is a non-iridescent purple color, unlike the vivid, shimmering purple color of the starting H2TTP. Introduction Thin layer chromatography, or TLC, is used as a prerequisite for column chromatography. When performing types of chromatography, like TLC, the polarity
Chemistry text books explain that because of its small size, copper ions attract ligands, which are species that are rich in electrons and can form co-ordinate covalent bonds (can donate electrons) to form complex ions[28]. When the copper ion is joined to one or more ligands, a coordination complex is formed where the ligands act as electron donors, and the central atom of copper acts as an electron-pair acceptor. This complex has a structure called coordination sphere[2], with four
(Ans) Collaboration can be defined as a process, where two or more people or organizations work together to achieve shared goals by sharing knowledge, learning, and building consensus. In order to explore the nature of the practice of collaboration, the author has specifically focused on some of the concepts which challenges the individuals involved in collaborative alliance. Two main concepts have been explored to justify the challenges of the individuals. They are (i) Collaborative advantage,
According to Britannica online Encyclopaedia (n.d) a coordination compound is any type of substance that has a chemical structure which contains a metal as the central atom and surrounding it are groups of non-metals which are called ligands that are bonded by coordinate covalent bonds. This means that the bonding electrons are supplied by the ligand, the central atom is a Lewis acid (electron acceptor) and the ligand is a Lewis base ( electron donor). There are many of these compounds and have different
Chapter one Introduction 1.1 Supramolecular Chemistry Over the last decades, supramolecular chemistry has been a vigorous, fast-growing and fascinating area of current research in chemistry, physics, materials science and biological processes.refs It is a highly interdisciplinary field with wide-ranging collaborations between chemists, biologists, environmental scientists, engineers, physicists, theoreticians, mathematicians and other researchers. Furthermore, there is an essential aim for supramolecular
ammonia solution is then titrated using standardized HCl. % CO was found using spectroscopy. The cobalt compound falls under the category of chemistry called coordination chemistry, which is the interaction between ligands and metals. Ligands bond to the center metal atoms to form a complex. Alfred Werner is considered the father of coordination chemistry. Coordination compounds are the products of reactions when anions bond to a metal ion. Lewis acids are substances that can accept nonbonding electrons
COORDINATION COMPOUNDS: Coordination compounds are those which are electrically neutral and contain complex ions. Complex ions are those compounds in which central metal atom is bonded to ligand by coordinate covalent bond. The complex can be charged so coordination compound is balanced by counter ion. Coordinate covalent bond is the bond in which electron pair is donated by one bonded atom only. The atoms which donate and accept the pair of electron are called donor and acceptor respectively. Ligand
physical and mechanical properties of iron metal will be discussed. Additionally, the occurrence and major applications of the metal will also be provided. This is intended to provide an understanding of the iron metal and the chemistry around it. The geometry of coordination together with the different oxidation states will be included in the discussion. It should be noted that iron is one of the few metals that is considered to have wide range of applications. There are many devices, accessories
distillation or crystallization and addition pure water yields the metal oxide with high purity and the volatile by-product. A great advantage of this method of oxide preparation is in its absence of ionic impurities [20]. Despite being widely applied, the chemistry of the sol-gel synthesis utilizing metal alkoxide precursors is hardly understood.
Hydrolysis of Oxoanions Nonmetals in positive oxidation states do not exist in aqueous solution as cations but rather as hydroxides or oxides. These species often act as oxo acids which ionize to form oxoanions in solution. The general form of an oxoanion is MOxy-. Since these oxoanions are quite different in their properties, Z2/r ratios for nonmetal cations do not give accurate predictions of their chemical behavior. A different approach is needed to determine what these elements will do when they

forms. Fullerene chemistry has provided a new dimension of aromatic and a new platform for discussion of mathematical techniques pertinent to large cages. They are basically, large carbon cage molecules. These fullerenes have attracted great interest a large number of physical and chemical properties. These properties of nanostructures strongly depend on this size, shape and chemical compositions. This property leads to very interesting and recent applications in medicinal chemistry, material science
and interesting. A salt bridge is a non-covalent interaction between two ionized sites. It contains two components: a hydrogen bond and an electrostatic interaction (Salt Bridges). The scientific term salt bridge has two different uses in chemistry. The original use is described as an electrically conductive gel union that is between two half-cells of a voltaic cell studied in the field of electrochemistry. The second
to Fe2O3 (Fe3þ) [19] and the satellite peak (718.8 eV) is 8.2 eV from the main 2p3/2 peak (710.5 eV), indicating the presence of Fe3þ. Moreover, the peak at 714.1 eV corresponds to surface peak [20], which can be attributed to the reduction in coordination of Fe (i.e. in hexaferrite, Fe is present in five nonequivalent crystallographic sites, three octahedral, one tetrahedral and one site surrounded by five oxygen atoms forming a
pair of electrons. For this particular example, the steric factor is more dominant than the electronic factor. For phenylamine, the lone pair of electrons on the N atom is delocalised in the benzene ring and hence renders them less available for coordination with a proton. For amides, the lone pair of electrons on the N atom is delocalized into the adjacent carbonyl group with a highly electronegative oxygen atom. Hence, amides are considered to be
The Effect of Concentration on the Rate of Reaction Planning AIM To look at the change in concentration on the rate of reaction BACKGROUND THEORY The rate of reaction tells us how quickly a chemical reaction happens. We can work it out after doing an experiment. We can measure how much reactant is used up in a certain time or how quickly products are formed. We then work out what 1/time taken is and that gives us the rate. The rate of the reaction can be affected by a number
The Effect of Osmosis on Potato Chips Measure the effect of osmosis on potato chips in various concentrations of sugar solution as well as distilled water. Principles Involved ------------------- Osmosis Osmosis is the process by which water passes through a semi permeable membrane from a solution of lower concentration to a solution of higher concentration until both solutions are of equal concentration. Hypothesis ---------- Osmosis will change the mass of the potato
