5.352 Synthesis of Coordination Compounds and Kinetics

(, ) ; partial term
Prereq: None. Coreq: 5.351
Units: 1-2-2
Safety lecture mandatory. MW sections on 9/3 at 1 pm. TR sections on 9/4 at 1 pm. See course for the link. Meets 9/30 to 10/30. Lecture: TR12 (4-231) Lab: MW1-5 (12-5170B) or TR1-5 (12-5170B)

Students carry out an experiment that provides an introduction to the synthesis of simple coordination compounds and chemical kinetics. Illustrates cobalt coordination chemistry and its transformations as detected by visible spectroscopy. Students observe isosbestic points in visible spectra, determine the rate and rate law, measure the rate constant at several temperatures, and derive the activation energy for the aquation reaction. Satisfies 5 units of Institute Laboratory credit.
