Ni-en complex
If I desire to make these products, and I start with 5 mL of [Ni(H2O)6] 2+ in each case, what is the amount of (en) ligand that should be added to create each of these complexes?

[Ni(H2O)4(en)]2+

[Ni(H2O)2(en)2]2+ :

[Ni(en)3]2+

Expert Solution

Nickel-ethylenediamine complexes will be synthesize with the general formula, [Ni(en)x(H2O)6-2x]SO4•YH2O.

Nickel(II) is a good Lewis acid and prefers to bind six Lewis base donor atoms (atoms with lone pair of electrons). In pure water nickel(II) sulfate dissolves in water to form [Ni(OH2)6]2+, also known as Ni2+(aq). When ethylenediamine is added, (abbreviated en; which contains 2 donor atoms per molecule) some or all of the water may be replaced in [Ni(OH2)6]2+

[Ni(H2O)6]2+ + H2NCH2CH2NH2(aq) -->[Ni(H2O)4(en)]2+

[Ni(H2O)4(en)]2+ + H2NCH2CH2NH2(aq) -->[Ni(H2O)2(en)2]2+

[Ni(H2O)2(en)2]2+ + H2NCH2CH2NH2(aq) --> [Ni(en)3]2+

Ni2+ in aqueous solution exists as the octahedral complex ion hexaaquanickel (II), [Ni(H2O)6]2+. When the bidentate ethylenediamine ligand (en) is added to the solution in a 1:1 concentration ratio, it replaces two water ligands of the [Ni(H2O)6]2+ to form [Ni(H2O)4(en)]2+:

If 5ml of 1M [Ni(H2O)6]2+ is used we have to use equal concentration of en ligand to from above given species.

So we have to add 5 ml of 5M En ligand solution at first step to produce [Ni(H2O)4(en)]2+,

And then at each step 5 ml of 1M solution of en ligand should be added till water ligands are replace by en [Ni(en)3]2+ therefore total 15 ml of ligand solution should be added to fully replace all water ligand

have a bottle of 1 mL of solution of unknown concentration. I have to make the following dilution series: 1:100, 1:200, 1:300, 1:350, 1:400, 1:450, 1:500, 1:550, 1:600. I know I could do 1 microL of solution + 99 microL of buffer to make 1:100 but I would rather do a dilution series. each tube must end with at least 800mircoL. Please explain how I could achieve this, thanks!
