The Theoretical part:
Lectures (12 – 14) covering the theoretical aspects of inorganic synthesis including: techniques for synthesis and purification, identification of inorganic compounds (conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, IR, UV, …etc), and thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of inorganic synthesis.
The Experimental part:
Each student is expected to perform at least 12 selected experiments out of the 22 different experiments that are designed to expose the students to standard techniques in synthesis as well as characterization of inorganic compounds. For each assigned compound the following are carried out unless otherwise stated: m.p., M.Wt., conductivity measurements, magnetic susceptibility, IR and UV- Vis. Spectra. A short report must be submitted when the experiment is finished including answer of the questions on the experiments:
1. [Cr(acetate)2]2∙2H2O 2. [SnI4], [SnI4(PPh3)2] 3. [Cr(acac)3] 4. [Cr(acac-Br)3]
5. [Cr(acac-NO2)3] 6. [Cr(dibenzoylmethide)3] 7. [Co(acac)3] 8. [Fe(acac)3]
9. [Co(NH3)6)]Cl3 10. [CoCl(NH3)5]Cl2 11. [Co(NH3)4CO3)]NO3
12. [Co(NH3)(NO2)3] 13. [Ni(acac)2]3, [Ni(acac)2(H2O)2], [Ni(acac)2(py)2]
14. K3 [Co(C2O4)3] 15. Ba2[Cu(OH)6] 16. [Ni(py)4]Cl2 17. Mercury(II) Dithezonate
18. Copper(II) Phthalocyanine 19. Cis- and Trans- K [Cr(C2O4)2(H2O)2]
20. Cis- and Trans- [CoCl2(en)2]Cl 21. [Mn(acac) 3] 22. [Fe(Cp)2]
Assessment:
· (15%) Lab Reports
· (10%) Quality of Products
· (15%) Evaluation of work
· (20%). Oral–Midterm Exam
· (40%) Final Exam
Writing the Report
After finishing the experimental work and characterization, a short report is required. This report should be submitted not later than 3 periods.
The following headings should be included in your report:
- On first page: Name and the number of the experiment, followed by name of the student, date of experiment taken and date of submission.
- Aim or purpose of the experiment.
- Introduction: Should contain a brief description of the intended work and theatrical background.
- Experimental:
o Chemical used: name, formula, quantity, R and S states (for each)
o Name and structure of the complexes prepared.
o Chemical equations related to the experiment
o Data: Color changes, yield, m.p., conductance, IR, (NMR, if any) and UV-vis spectra, magnetic measurements.
- Results: Calculations
- Discussion of the results and relating them to theoretical knowledge.
- Answer of the questions at the end of the experiment (if any).
- Submit samples with your report
Resources of writing the report:
- The library
- Experimental sheets
- Lab. notebook which contains the observations and data collected while performing the experiment.
- References in the outline
- Previous knowledge from courses (inorganic 1 and 2)
- The internet
