Howell • Room 359NE (718) 951 5458; [email protected] Office hours: Mon. & Thu. 10:00 am-10:50 am & Wed. 5 pm-6 pm • Textbook: Inorganic Chemistry, Miessler & Tarr, 3rd. Ed., Pearson-Prentice Hall What is inorganic chemistry? Organic chemistry is: the chemistry of life the chemistry of hydrocarbon compounds C, H, N, O Inorganic chemistry is: The chemistry of everything else The chemistry of the whole periodic Table (including carbon) Organic compounds Inorganic compounds Single bonds Double bonds Triple bonds Quadruple bonds Coordination number Geometry Constant Variable Fixed Variable Single and multiple bonds in organic and inorganic compounds Unusual coordination numbers for H, C Typical geometries of inorganic compounds Inorganic chemistry has always been relevant in human history • Ancient gold, silver and copper objects, ceramics, glasses (3,000-1,500 BC) • Alchemy (attempts to “transmute” base metals into gold led to many discoveries) • Common acids (HCl, HNO3, H2SO4) were known by the 17th century • By the end of the 19th Century the Periodic Table was proposed and the early atomic theories were laid out • Coordination chemistry began to be developed at the beginning of the 20th century • Great expansion during World War II and immediately after • Crystal field and ligand field theories developed in the 1950’s • Organometallic compounds are discovered and defined in the mid-1950’s (ferrocene) • Ti-based polymerization catalysts are discovered in 1955, opening the “plastic era” • Bio-inorganic chemistry is recognized as a major component of life Nano-technology Hemoglobin The hole in the ozone layer (O3) as seen in the Antarctica http://www.atm.ch.cam.ac.uk/tour/ Some examples of current important uses of inorganic compounds Catalysts: oxides, sulfides, zeolites, metal complexes, metal particles and colloids Semiconductors: Si, Ge, GaAs, InP Polymers: silicones, (SiR2)n, polyphosphazenes, organometallic catalysts for polyolefins Superconductors: NbN, YBa2Cu3O7-x, Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oz Magnetic Materials: Fe, SmCo5, Nd2Fe14B Lubricants: graphite, MoS2 Nano-structured materials: nanoclusters, nanowires and nanotubes Fertilizers: NH4NO3, (NH4)2SO4 Paints: TiO2 Disinfectants/oxidants: Cl2, Br2, I2, MnO4Water treatment: Ca(OH)2, Al2(SO4)3 Industrial chemicals: H2SO4, NaOH, CO2 Organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals: catalysts, Pt anti-cancer drugs Biology: Vitamin B12 coenzyme, hemoglobin, Fe-S proteins, chlorophyll (Mg) Atomic structure A revision of basic concepts . .

Continuous, no sudden jumps. Normalizable. Given that the square of the absolute value of the eave function represents the probability of finding the electron then sum of probabilities over all space is unity. *dv 1 It is these requirements that introduce quantization. Electron in One Dimensional Box Definition of the Potential, V(x) V(x) = 0 inside the box 0 <x<l V(x) = infinite outside box; x <0 or x> l Q.M. solution in atomic units - ½ d2/dx2 X(x) = E X(x) Standard technique: assume a form of the solution. Assume X(x) = a ekx Where both a and k will be determined from auxiliary conditions. Recipe: substitute into the DE and see what you get. Substitution yields - ½ k2 ekx = E ekx or k = +/- i (2E)0.5 General solution becomes X (x) = a ei sqrt(2E)x + b e –i sqrt(2E)x where a and b are arbitrary consants Using the Cauchy equality e i z = cos(z) + i sin(z) Substsitution yields X(x) = a cos (sqrt(2E)x) + b (cos(-sqrt(2E)x) + i a sin (sqrt(2E)x) + i b(sin(-sqrt(2E)x) Regrouping X(x) = (a + b) cos (sqrt(2E)x) + i (a - b) sin(sqrt(2E)x) Or X(x) = c cos (sqrt(2E)x) + d sin(sqrt(2E)x) We can verify the solution as follows ½ d2/dx2 X(x) = E X(x) (??) - ½ d2/dx2 (c cos (sqrt(2E)x) + d sin (sqrt(2E)x) ) = - ½ ((2E)(- c cos (sqrt(2E)x) – d sin (sqrt(2E)x) = E (c cos (sqrt(2E)x + d sin(sqrt(2E)x)) = E X(x) We have simply solved the DE; no quantum effects have been introduced. Introduction of constraints: -Wave function must be continuous at x = 0 or x = l X(x) must equal 0 Thus c = 0, since cos (0) = 1 and second constraint requires that sin(sqrt(2E) l ) = 0 Which is achieved by (sqrt(2E) l ) Or (np ) 2 E 2l =np In normalized form X ( x ) 2 / l sin( npx / l ) n=1 n=2 1.2 1.5 1 1 0.8 0.5 0.6 0 1 0.4 -0.5 0.2 -1 0 -1.5 1 8 15 22 29 36 43 50 57 64 71 78 85 92 99 8 15 22 29 36 43 50 57 64 71 78 85 92 99 Atomic problem, even for only one electron, is much more complex. • Three dimensions, polar spherical coordinates: r, q, f • Non-zero potential – Attraction to nucleus – For more than one electron, electron-electron repulsion.
