  1. Handouts • Syllabus • Safety (detailed) • Web page is up and running

  2. Knowing Nernst:Non-equilibrium copper redox chemistry

  3. Safety / Waste disposal • There will only be one liquid waste disposal bottle (kept in the hood by the lab entrance), since all reactions are carried out in aqueous solution. There should be a separate waste bottle for solid waste.

  4. Knowing Nernst:Non-equilibrium copper redox chemistry Objectives: Calculate/measure stability of copper complexes Use ligands to change stabilities of metal species HSAB concept: qualitative insights Redox potentials/Nernst eqn: quantitative insights

  5. Chemical species studies • CuCl2 • CuI • Cu(NH3)2+ • Cu(en)22+ • Cu(salen)n+ • Charge vs oxidation state

  6. Oxidation states • Sum of oxidation states = ionic charge on species • Assumes unequal sharing of electrons • more electronegative atom gets all of bond electrons

  7. Oxidation states • Sum of oxidation states = ionic charge on species • Assumes unequal sharing of electrons • more electronegative atom gets all of bond electrons • Examples: • MnO, Mn2O3, Mn3O4, MnO2, Mn5O8, KMnO4 • What differences are found between compounds with difference oxidation numbers? Atomic radius Reactivity (redox potential)

  8. Disproportionation • 2 Fe4+→ Fe3+ + Fe5+ • 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 • 2 Cu+ → Cu0 + Cu2+ • Reverse of process: comproportionation

  9. Sample redox potential calculation CuCl2 + ammonia -> Cu(NH3)42+ + chloride (1) Cu2+ + Iˉ + eˉ  CuI 0.86V (2) Cu2+ + Clˉ + eˉ  CuCl 0.54V (3) I2 + 2eˉ  2Iˉ 0.54V (4) Cu+ (aq) + eˉ  Cu(s) 0.52V (5) Cu2+(aq) + 2eˉ  Cu(s) 0.37V (6) CuCl + eˉ  Cu(s) + Clˉ 0.14V (7) Cu(NH3)42+ + 2eˉ  Cu(s) + 4NH3 -0.12V (8) Cu2+(aq) + eˉ  Cu+ (aq) -0.15V (9) CuI + eˉ  Cu(s) + Iˉ -0.19V (10) Cu(en)22+ + 2eˉ  Cu + 2en -0.50V

  10. Reduction: Cu2+(aq) + 2eˉ  Cu(s) E0 = +0.37V (5) Oxidation: Cu(s) + 4NH3 Cu(NH3)42+ + 2eˉ E0 = +0.12V (7*) Net: Cu2+(aq) + 4NH3 Cu(NH3)=2+ E0 = +0.49V

  11. Hard vs. soft • Describes the general bonding trends of chemical species (Lewis acids / Lewis bases) • Hard acids prefer to bind to hard bases, while soft acids prefer to bind to soft bases

  12. most stable complexes Kstability = [AB] / [A][B] Monotonic variation in stability least stable complexes Only two possible trends harder softer

  13. Hard: low polarizability, primarily ionic bonding Soft: high polarizability, primarily covalent bonding

  14. Lewis acids and bases • Hard acids H+, Li+, Na+, K+ , Rb+, Cs+Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+ , Sr2+, Ba2+BF3, Al 3+, Si 4+, BCl3 , AlCl3Ti4+, Cr3+, Cr2+, Mn2+Sc3+, La3+, Ce4+, Gd3+, Lu3+, Th4+, U4+, Ti4+, Zr4+, Hf4+, VO4+, Cr6+,  Si4+, Sn4+ • Borderline acids Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+ , Cu2+, Zn2+Rh3+, Ir3+, Ru3+, Os2+R3C+ , Sn2+, Pb2+NO+, Sb3+, Bi3+SO2 • Soft acids Tl+, Cu+, Ag+, Au+, Cd2+Hg2+, Pd2+, Pt2+, M0, RHg+, Hg22+BH3CH2HO+, RO+ • Borderline bases Br-NO2-, N3- SO32-C6H5NH2, pyridine N2 • Soft bases H-, I-H2S, HS-, S2- , RSH, RS-, R2SSCN- (bound through S), CN-, RNC, CO R3P, C2H4, C6H6(RO)3P  • Hard bases F-, Cl-H2O, OH-, O2-CH3COO- , ROH, RO-, R2ONO3-, ClO4-CO32-, SO42- , PO43-NH3, RNH2N2H4
