Study of Metal-complex formation (CAT#: STEM-AC-0059-WXH)

Introduction

Metal complexes consist of a central metal atom or ion surrounded by several atoms, ions or molecules, called ligands. Ligands are ions or molecules that can have an independent existence, and are attached to the central metal atom or ion. Examples of ligands are halide ions, carbon monoxide, ammonia, cyanide ion, etc.




Principle

The temperature jump method is a technique used in chemical kinetics for the measurement of very rapid reaction rates.
The T-Jump technique provides a means to follow fast reactions with half-lives of just a few microseconds. The reaction volume is prepared so that it is in equilibrium and then rapidly perturbed by a rapid change in temperature. There is a new equilibrium constant at the higher temperature, but the initial concentrations are balanced for the lower temperature. The system therefore relaxes and the reaction proceeds until the concentrations have reached their new equilibrium values.
