Synthesis and Characterization of Cobalt Acetylacetonate

 

1.
             Characterization has been established to show the relative success of the procedure as a pure product has been shown to be essential to any further synthesis or procedural success.9 A range of expected extinction coefficients has been prescribed to determine if emitted photons of excited electrons are consistent with the 103 C 105 molar absorptivity which would be permissible from the pure product.1 Cobalt percent determination by comparison to potassium cobaltinitrite (K3Co(NO2)) synthesized from the Co(acac)3 product has been identified to establish if the desired product with the appropriate percentage of cobalt was realized.1 Infrared spectroscopy has been used to determine if the activity of the product molecule is consistent with expected activity of a pure Co(acac)3 sample.1 Nuclear magnetic resonance study has been utilized to determine purity of the final product by means of comparison of expected hydrogen atom interaction ratios to that of the final experimental product.1.
             Purpose.
             Recrystallization was performed to eliminate impurities as the final mass of the product is used in percent yield and other calculations. Melting point, ultraviolet and visible light spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance readings were all applied to determine if Co(acac)3 had been synthesized correctly and how pure the final product was.
             Experimental .
             Procedure.
             Two and a half grams Co(II)CO3 was mixed with 20.0 mL acetalacetone and heated to 90 degrees C. To the solution, 30.0 mL of 10% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was added dropwise and stirred on the hotplate until obvious visual reaction stopped and entire solution had turned green. Product was cooled for 30 minutes in an ice bath and then gravity filtered. The dry weight of the crude product was measured to be 6.429g, and the melt temperature was measured to be 200 C C 204 C.
             Recrystallization was completed with toluene and petroleum ether.
