Week 8

2017: Tuesday, February, 21. at 8.¹² and Thursday, 23. at 10¹⁵ in room 28B0.5

Glass electrode, pH-standards
Hard and soft acids and bases
Coordination compounds (Chapter 7, Sect. 11-13)
Introduction: A little history: Alfred Werner and Sophus Mads Jørgensen
Coordination number and geometries in coordination compounds. (Chapter 19 Sect. 7-8)

Naming coordination compounds: We take a few problems from this short Introduction to nomenclature of coordination compounds ( in Danish: Nomenklatur af koordinationsforbindelser. )
You may by the way consult a(ny) general chemistry textbook to study the nomenclature of coordination compounds. Here is one af several tutorials introducing this subject.
Isomerism in octahedral coordination compounds .(Sect. 2.9, 3.8, 19.8)

Notes for inorganic chemistry: Coordination compounds and coordination geometry OBS a few questions in the text

You are recommended to produce a physical octahedron from paper or cartboard. If you do so, better make two when you want to compare two isomers. You may also fold one if you understand Danish

Next topic:
Stability constants: "Inorganic Chemistry" Chapter 7, sect. 11-13
"Notes: Symbols in coordination equilibria.
Lecture Notes for week 9
(include statistical reasons for relative values of consecutive constants)
