Manganese (III) complex
IR Spectrum
There are three very sharp peaks at 1400-1600 cm-1, these peaks are due to the presence of carbonyl (C=O) bond. In organic molecules, generally, carbonyl bond shows peak at ~ 1600-1750 cm-1 but in our spectrum it absorbs low energy as C=O has weaken because of the presence of back-bonding in this complex. Metal ion has donated/shared its electrons to the empty pi star orbitals of C atom. This has significant effect on C=O strength hence low energy absorption.
Preparation of- Manganese(III) tris(acetylacetonate)
Abstract
In this experiment Manganese (III) tris (acetylacetonate) - [MnIII(acac)3] is prepared using manganese chloride, sodium acetate and acetylacetone, further analysis were done to find the percentage of manganese in complex.
Introduction
Manganese is a first row transition metal that has a range of oxidation states that appear in its compounds. The most common oxidation states for manganese are +2, +3, +4, +6 and +7, though oxidation states from -3 to +7 are observed. This experiment was involved the preparation of a Mn(III) complex of actylacetone which is a useful starting material for the preparation of other Mn(III) compounds. Manganese(III) complexes are relatively stable.
In this experiment a solution of manganese(II) chloride was oxidized with potassium permanganate in the presence of acetylacetone giving the brown acetylacetonemanganese(III), Mn(acac)3.
Since, the ground state for the octahedral complexes like that of Mn(acac)3 is a 5Eg (t2g3 eg1)
Suggests the presence of Jahn-Teller distortion. Therefore, the complexes are not pure octahedral.
Two forms of Mn(acac)3 are known, one with substantial tetrahedral elongation, the other with moderate tetragonal compression. The complex forms lustrous crystals which are black to dark brown by reflected light and green by transmitted light.
Experimental
A solution of magnesium chloride (MnCl2.4H2O) (2.50 g, 0.0126 mol) and sodium acetate (6.71 g, 0.0120 mol)
