Hey Steve,
I have a question for you regarding a compound we synthesized in Advanced Synthesis class. The compound that we made is (+) and (-)-Tris (o-Phenanthroline) Iron(II) Perchlorate Trihydrate. The formula for the compound is [Fe(o-phen)3](ClO4)2*4H2O, and the compound is a dark, blood-red color. The synthesis came from William Jolly's "The Synthesis and Characterization of Inorganic Compounds" Prospect Heights, Illinois: Waveland Press, Inc; 1991. page 469-470. This is the most obscure compound that I've ever come across in any kind of lab class. lol. I have to write up a synthesis report in a week, and I can't find much of anything about this compound. I can't even find a standard IR spectra online for this stuff. Have you by some miracle encountered this compound before? If not, do you know of any other good sites / online databases that I can check. I've looked through the SDBS spectral database, and I couldn't find anything about it. Our professor gave us a standard 1H-NMR for the compound, but he doesn't give out IR specs. Any help at all would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance, MikeKL5 |
