Coordination Compound
« on: August 25, 2013, 11:11:01 AM »
Hi,
In the context of the synthesis of a coordination compound were added 1 mmol of copper (I) bromide with 1 mmol of 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and were stirred in acetonitrile. Here, a solid precipitated from X, which was filtered off and dried.
An elemental analysis gave the following values​​: C: 28.65%, N: 11.12%, H: 3.21%. The content of
Copper and bromine additionally by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was determined: (Cu: 25.25%, Br: 31.75%).

As ratio formula I've got CuBrC6H8N2.

But what's the molecul formula???

Can somebody help me??

Without some other analysis tool I'm not sure you can tell, but perhaps consider the stability of the Cu(I) ion.

I would run a MALDI-MS to determine MW on your analyte. Consult your friendly neighborhood mass spectrometrist for options.

If this does not work, or you don't have access to MS, one non-instrumental method is the depression of m.p. of a solid.  Look up Rast's method; essentially you have to be able to generate a homogeneous solution of your analyte in a warmed solid (typically camphor was used) for this to be viable.
