In this experiment, the cis and trans copper glycinates are prepared. The direct reaction of copper(II) acetate monohydrate and glycine results in an equilibrium mixture of the two isomers. (CH3COO)2CuH2O+2NH2CH2COOH(NH2CH2COO)2CuH2O+2CH3COOH One isomer precipitates much more quickly than the other, leading to a shift in the equilibrium away from the other, producing only the one isomer. The first isomer (kinetically favored product) is converted to the other (thermodynamically favored product) simply by heating. 1. Identify the central metal ion, the ligand and the counterion 2. Classify the ligand (is it mono-, bi- or polydentate) 3. Identify the donor atom in the ligand. 4. Write down the formula of the complex ion; is it neutral, anionic, or cationic? 5. Draw the structure of the cis and the trans product 6. Give one advantage of solid state synthesis over solution synthesis. In this experiment, the cis and trans copper glycinates are prepared.
