Introduction
In this experiment, Photooxidation of Cobalt-Bound Thiolato Ligands, we will be studying the reaction between the complex bis(ethylenediamine) – (SO)(N, S-2-aminoethanethiol late) Cobalt Chloride (III) and singlet oxygen.
Aim
To determine how the oxidation rate of reaction between Cobalt and Thiolato complexes is affected by the solvent polarity.
Theory
1. In many biological systems, a similar Sulfur that is coordinated to transition metal is found.
2. Oxidation at the metal-sulfur site leads to deactivation at the site.
Requirements
1. Dimethylformamide (DMF)
2. Water
3. Laser Spectroscope
4. Origin 5.0 Computer Program
Procedure
Step 1: Take polar and nonpolar solvents.
Step 2: Perform a similar reaction in each of the solvents.
Step 3: Record the reaction rates.
Step 4: Repeat the process in Dimethylformamide and in water.
Step 5: Using time-resolved laser spectroscopy, record the rate constant of each of the experiments.
Step 6: Record the decay rate of singleton oxygen at different concentrations of quencher. This will monitor the compound consumption of 102.
Step 7: With the help of an origin 5.0 computer program and Microsoft Excel, process the data of the experiment.
Observations
1. From our experiment, we observed that the quenching of Co(SO) Cystamine attends a slower rate in the polar solvents.
2. Nonpolar solvents increase the reaction rate of quenching Co(SO) Cystamine.
Result
1. The nonpolar solvent showed a faster rate of reaction.
2. The reason behind increasing the 102 quenching rate on polar solvent is the added stabilization.
3. The stabilization was caused by the intramolecular hydrogen bond between sulfur and amino protons.
Precautions
1. Handle the chemicals with care.
2. Make sure the computer works properly.
3. Record your data carefully.
Conclusion
In the experiment, Photooxidation of Cobalt-Bound Thiolato Ligands, we determined the effect of solvent polarity on the oxidation rate of the complexes of Cobalt – Thiolato.
