  1. Magnetic Susceptibility Synthesis of Mn(acac)3 Synthesis 12

  2. Reasons for Determining Number of Unpaired Electrons • Related to the oxidation state of the metal. • Helpful in assigning geometry. • Information provided about metal-metal bonding. • Information provided about the bonding between the metal and its ligands.

  3. Octahedral Metal Complexes • Crystal field theory predicts that the five d orbitals split. • 3 orbitals of low energy, t2g • 2 orbitals of high energy, eg • The energy ‘gap’ between the two sets of orbitals depends on the ligands. • I-<Br-<Cl-<F-<OH-<H2O<NH3<NO2-<PPh3<CH3-<CN-<CO (the spectrochemical series)

  4. Octahedral Metal Complexes • For octahedral complexes that possess between 4 and 7 d electrons, there are two different ways to distribute the electrons. • Depends on the energy ‘gap’. • Illustrate for Fe(H2O)63+ (five electrons). • High-spin versus low-spin. • If the energy gap is large enough, all the electrons will be placed in the t2g (low-spin). • If the energy gap is small, five electrons will be paired in each orbital first (low-spin and high-spin).

  5. Obtaining the Mass Susceptibility • Packing the sample tube • Page 7 in the instruction manual • Operating the balance • Pages 8 and 9 in the instruction manual. • Calibration of the instrument, CBal • Use the MKI standard to do this (Sherwood Scientific printout). • Obtain the magnetic susceptibility (mass) of your sample(s)

  6. Magnetic Susceptibility Mass susceptibility l = sample length (cm) m = sample mass (g) R = reading for tube place sample Ro = empty tube reading CBal = balance calibration constant Molar susceptibility
