Reactivity II: A Second Foundation-Level Course in Integrated Organic, Inorganic, and Biochemistry
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Schaller, Chris P.; Graham, Kate J.; McIntee, Edward J.; Jones, T. Nicholas; Johnson, Brian J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
A foundation-level course is described that integrates material related to reactivity in organic, inorganic, and biochemistry. Designed for second-year students, the course serves majors in chemistry, biochemistry, and biology, as well as prehealth-professions students. Building on an earlier course that developed concepts of nucleophiles and…

Rapp, Teresa L.; Phillips, Susan R.; Dmochowski, Ivan J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
The study of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes can be widely applied across disciplines in the undergraduate curriculum. Ruthenium photochemistry has advanced many fields including dye-sensitized solar cells, photoredox catalysis, lightdriven water oxidation, and biological electron transfer. Equally promising are ruthenium polypyridyl complexes…

Felix, Tamara; Cortes-Figueroa, Jose E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2010
This laboratory activity is a mechanistic exploration of the interactions between electronically deficient organometallic compounds and solvent molecules. Simple kinetics experiments designed to explore the mechanism of C[subscript 60] fullerene-benzene exchange on Ir(([eta][superscript 2]-C[subscript 60])(CO)(Cl)(PPh[subscript 3])[subscript 2]…

Hydrogen and Palladium Foil: Two Classroom Demonstrations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Klotz, Elsbeth; Mattson, Bruce – Journal of Chemical Education, 2009
In these two classroom demonstrations, students observe the reaction between H[subscript 2] gas and Pd foil. In the first demonstration, hydrogen and palladium combine within one minute at 1 atm and room temperature to yield the non-stoichiometric, interstitial hydride with formula close to the maximum known value, PdH[subscript 0.7]. In the…

Sterically Hindered Square-Planar Nickel(II) Organometallic Complexes: Preparation, Characterization, and Substitution Behavior
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Martinez, Manuel; Muller, Guillermo; Rocamora, Merce; Rodriguez, Carlos – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
The series of experiments proposed for advanced undergraduate students deal with both standard organometallic preparative methods in dry anaerobic conditions and with a kinetic study of the mechanisms operating in the substitution of square-planar complexes. The preparation of organometallic compounds is carried out by transmetallation or…
