Mn(acac)3 is: o High spin, paramagnetic o (t2g)3(eg)1 o Octahedral o D3, pseudo Oh symmetry o Black Precipitate Two methods: o Gouy Method o Evans Method (calculation)
Procedure Exactly 0.375 grams of KMnO4 were weighed and added to a 25mL Erlenmeyer flask filled with 7.5 mL of H2O. The solution was heated to 80oC and then allowed to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, 1.7 mL of acetylacetonate was carefully added and the solution boiled once more. After 5 minutes, the solution was removed from the hot plate and subsequently cooled in an ice bath. Vacuum filtration was performed, crystals were collected and weighed, and NMR analysis was performed with both the product (Mn(acac)3) and the solvent (CHCl3).

Experiment 2
H2TPP has D2h symmetry which becomes D4h in the presence of a metal. Copper and Zinc complex were red shifted (shift towards longer wavelength, lower energy); copper less than zinc.

CuCl22DMSO (green) and PdCl22DMSO (orange) are square planar complexes RuCl2* 4DMSO (yellow) forms an octahedral complex CuCl2 + 2DMSO CuCl22DMSO PdCl2 + 2DMSO PdCl22DMSO RuCl3 + 4DMSO RuCl34DMSO RuCl24DMSO If: o o S-O < wavenumber, then bonded to oxygen and compound is a hard acid (copper and ruthenium) S-O > wavenumber, then bonded to sulfur and compound is a soft acid (palladium) DMSO functions as both a soft and hard base Soft goes with soft, hard with hard High charge states coupled with being weakly polarizable lead to a title application of hard acid. In the same way, low charge states that are highly polarizable have the title of soft.
