Hellmut Eckert and Karin Meise-Gresch , Stanley E. Anderson and David SaikiJournal of Chemical Education2004 81 (7), 1034The solid state 31P NMR wideline spectra of a series of student-prepared sodium phosphate glasses can easily be measured using a standard multinuclear FTNMR spectrometer available in many chemistry departments. The observed spectra can be simulated by ...

Syntheses and Characterization of Ruthenium(II) Tetrakis(Pyridine) Complexes. An Advanced Coordination Chemistry Experiment or Mini-Project
Benjamin J. CoeJournal of Chemical Education2004 81 (5), 718Syntheses and Characterization of Ruthenium(II) Tetrakis(Pyridine) Complexes. An Advanced Coordination Chemistry Experiment or Mini-Project
Benjamin J. CoeJournal of Chemical Education2004 81 (5), 718This experiment involves the syntheses of several coordination complexes of ruthenium(II) and their characterization by using various spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. Because ruthenium is a precious metal all of the reactions are carried out on ...
