A new undergraduate inorganic chemistry laboratory experiment is presented. An
introduction of the spectrochemical series and ligand exchange is explored using the …

Understanding the basics of d-electron configuration and the spin state of coordination
complexes are essential elements of undergraduate inorganic chemistry. However, students …

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have yet to appreciably become ubiquitous,
manufacturable chemical products, despite their impressive functional versatility, particularly …

Magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) are a subclass of ionic liquids that possess a paramagnetic
metal within their chemical structure, making them susceptible to external magnetic fields. A …

The reaction of ligand (H2L) named 3-(3, 5-dimethyl-1 H-pyrazol-4-yl) pentane-2, 4-dione
and Cu (NO3) 2 produces two types of supramolecular homometallic complexes well …

This work reports the engineering and functional properties of an emerging class of
heterobimetallic 3d–4f ionic complexes designed with cobalt and rare-earth (RE) metals. We …

A bifunctional ligand H2L featuring primary (pyrazole) and secondary (acetylacetone)
coordination sites was preferentially reacted with dimetallic [M2 (NO3) 2](NO3) 2 linkers at …

Among computational methods, DFT (density functional theory) and TD-DFT (time-
dependent DFT) are widely used in research to describe, inter alia, the optical properties of …

In this laboratory activity, students were tasked with determining the heat of combustion for
each of three common sugar substitutes: saccharin, aspartame, and sucralose. The heats of …

A computational laboratory experiment investigating molecular models for hexagonal boron–
carbon–nitrogen sheets (h-BCN) was developed and employed in an upper-level …
