Abstract

Cobalt(III) complexes have been used in the undergraduate inorganic laboratory to demonstrate various techniques in coordination chemistry. This report describes an experiment involving the synthesis and resolution of enantiomeric tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) compounds followed by the analysis of enantiomeric purity by optical rotation and 59Co NMR spectroscopy through the formation of diastereomeric ion pairs.

      A laboratory exercise using 27Al NMR spectrometry to study the tetrahedral tetrahaloaluminate anions has been developed. Spectra of the homoleptic complexes [AlX4]− and the dihalide anions [AlX4Y4−n]− (X, Y = Cl, Br, or I) are acquired, then the pairwise-...

      The 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 ...
