Q

why do the first 5 crown ethers show a strong affinity for potassium ions?

A

Increase in ring size means there are more donor groups therefore more coordination interactions with metal ion which increases enthalpy.

Q

how does the fact that the free energy of solvation for potassium is less than it is for other metals such as Na, Ca, and Li explain with crown ethers have a stronger affinity for K.

A

Coordination sphere around K has to be reomoved to allow access to metal ion
Large sphere and a +1 interaction with the solvent means that the coordination sphere is weak and is therefore easier to remove.

Q

Why is an anion activated in the presence of crowns and cryptands?

A

They are large lipophilic cations so do not pair up. In non polar organic solvents anions are weakly solvated. This bare anion is activated for any reaction involving base and nucleophiles.

Q

explain the shift in the CV for ferrocene based cryptands?

36
Q

[15] -C - 5 has a preference for Na over K why?

A

caused by pseudocryptate structure of the Na + complex, K is too big to fit

37

A

False the energy difference is &laquo_space;than the thermal energy

40
Q

what are magnetically dilute materials?

A

They act as isolated dipoles. They have magnetic centres that do not interact and display simple paramagnetism

41
Q

what other properties do magnetic materials that show cooperative behaviour exhibit?

A

Do not obey curies law

In the right conditions will show spontaneous ordering of their magnetic dipoles

42
Q

what is antiferromagnetism

A

When orbitals with unpaired electrons interact and eventually spin pairing occurs

43
Q

what is ferrimagnetism?

A

Magnetic centres distributed in a lattice with unequal ratios

44
Q

why does magnetic ordering result in an effect that is seems like ferrimagnetism?

A

Interactions between neighbouring metal ions in different lattice is more intense than interaction of metal ions in same site.

45
Q

how to magnetically dilute species interact?

A

Through bridging ligands providing a super exchange pathway

46
Q

how can an interaction be fined tuned

A

depending on the N donor ligand the angle of Cu-O-Cu can turn interaction from anti to ferromagnetic

47
Q

how does the N donor ligand affect the magentism of Cu-O-Cu?

A

The N donar ligand produce an open Cu-O-Cu angle where super exchange is mediated by a single oxygen p orbtial. The mixing of two atomic orbitals prodcues three MOs yielding a singlet ground state.

48
Q

what occurs when the Cu-O-Cu angle is about 90 degrees?

A

super exchange is mediated by 2 orthogonal ocygen p orbitals. This produces two bonding and antibonding orbitals and leads to a triplet ground state

49
Q

how can a magnetic interaction be extended?

A

By selecting suitable bridging ligands and controlling the coordination sphere the interaction can be extended eg to ferromagnetism

50
Q

describe charge transfer salts

A

metallocene and (draw structures) react together under right conditions to produce ionic charge transfer salts. E transfer from metallocene d orbital to pi* orbital

51
Q

what happens to charge transfer salts at a certain temp

A

the ions in the charge transfer salts are close enough for spin int to occur and at certain temps eg (4.8K) the solid becomes a ferromagnet

52
Q

true or false: Ionic charge transfer salts are soluble in organic polar solvents. This is the first magnetic material where magnetism is partially due to unpaired p electrons

A

True

53
Q

what is hysteresis?

A

the value of 1 variable depends upon whether the other is increasing or decreasing

54
Q

what is a soft and hard magnet?

A

hard magnet - remains magnetised even after field is removed
soft magnet - easily magnetised and demagnetised

55
Q

when is the first example of a room temp synthetic magnet a hard and soft magnetic?

A

Hard magnet when the curie temp is less that or at RT. above RT it loses its magnetism
it is a soft magnet when separated from reaction solution.

56
Q

what is the structure of the first room temp synthetic magnet?

A

6 anions [TCNE]•– coordinated to V(II) units

57
Q

how is the first room temp synthetic magnet synthesised?

A

via CVD to produce thin magnetic layers

V(CO)6 + TCNE —-> V(TCNE)2

58
Q

what are novel magnetic materials?

A

Show magnetic properties that are not available to traditional materials

59
Q

why does PB show magnetism

A

only Fe(III) has spin active sites but substituting in paramagnetic metal ions into every site

60
Q

how are CoFe PB analogues magnetic

A

Fe(III)-CN-Co(III) centre is not magnetic, both metals are low spin. but a charge transfer process occurs within solid when photoexcited which has an effect on magnetism. Fe(III) - CN- Co(II) fe is d5 and ls and Co is d7 and hs

61
Q

what is the faraday effect

A

in a magnetic field the material rotates the plane of polarised light by a characteristic angle

62
Q

when is the faraday rotation observed?

A

observed at room temp in the ferromagentically ordered phase at wavelengths assoc with the charge transfer band

63
Q

what does the wavelength of bands depend on (in regards to faraday rotation)?

A

stoichiometry of the material, which can be varied by rxn conditions.

64
Q

what types of transition metals show spin crossover?

A

d4-d7, 1st row metals

65
Q

how to design SCO systems?

A
  1. All SCO systems contain oct Fe(III) metal ions with aromatic N donor ligands
  2. place subs close to N donors prevents close approach to metal ion. lengths are shorter in LS complexes
  3. change 6 mem ring to 5 mem ring decreases sigma donation and increases pi acceptor character. In bi and tri complexes this introduces strain into chelate rings
  4. replace aromatic N donors with aliphatic N donors
66
Q

what are cooperative effects?

A

Where you get spin transitions

abrupt spin trs usually are para - dia transitions

67
Q

true or false: For cooperative and hysteresis effect, there needs to be direct bonding?

A

False: weak interaction will produce these effects

eg Fe stacking between aromatic groups or H bonding

68
Q

how do you trap hs states at low temps

A

Irradiate the sample with light, this traps high spin states at low temp. the states are stable for days
these are called Light induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST)

69
