You will be working in groups of two:

In this experiment, we will prepare the compounds as described in Angelici's Synthesis and Technique in Inorganic Chemistry.  Once started, the experiment must be completed because the starting reagent decomposes over time.  Run the visible spectra for each of the compounds.
.
Write up
Each person must submit a separate lab report.  Only the experimental section may be the same in each report.    The lab report should be completed by 5:00 pm Friday,  April 17, 2009.  This experiment is worth 20 points of your lab grade. No late reports will be accepted.

The report must follow the guidelines on the Lab Report page and should include the following information:

Introduction: Brief summary of the experiment stating the purpose  of the experiment.

Experimental: List work that you have done. DO NOT copy the instructions directly from the lab book.

Results:  Give experimental results (data) obtained from the experiments.  Include spectra.

Discussion: Discuss the experiment from preparation to results.  You may want to support your conclusions with references.  References should be clearly documented.    Calculate the 10Dq values for each of the compounds and compare to the spectra. Most of the grade will depend on this section.
