Presentation Title
Abstract
As introductions to organic and inorganic synthesis, safe and expedient preparations of salen (N,N′- ethylenebis(salicylimine)) and its nickel complex have been developed for execution in the General 19 Chemistry II laboratory. Preparation and isolation can be completed in no more than 45 minutes. Prepared compounds are then analyzed by an assortment of characterization methods: melting point determination, mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectrophotometry and 13C NMR spectroscopy. These lab exercises are meant to serve as "soft" introductions for methods and instrumentation that will be utilized more heavily in the subsequent chemistry courses. Students are given basic training in analyzing data for each method to begin learning their utility for identifying product presence and purity. Simulated and modeled spectra are also used as accompaniment to experimental data to aid in analysis and interpretation training.
