1 Synthesis of Copper(II) Glycinate Monohydrate 1.1 Objectives The aim of this experiment is to synthesize an inorganic complex, copper(II) glycinate monohydrate (Cu(C 2 H 4 NO 2 ) 2 H 2 O). The percent yield of the reaction will be determined by isolating and drying the precipitated copper(II) glycinate monohydrate complex, and comparing the actual yield to the theoretical yield. This simple one-step synthesis reaction can be viewed as a double-displacement reaction between copper(II) acetate monohydrate (Cu(C 2 H 3 O 2 ) 2 H 2 O) and the simplest amino acid, glycine (HC 2 H 4 NO 2 ). The following general chemical equation can be used to describe this precipitation reaction: Cu(C 2 H 3 O 2 ) 2 H 2 O (aq) + 2 HC 2 H 4 NO 2 (aq) Cu(C 2 H 4 NO 2 ) 2 H 2 O (s) + 2 HC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) At the end of this lab activity, students will be able to: Perform a synthesis reaction using a specific procedural protocol. Use a vacuum filtration apparatus to isolate product. Calculate the percent yield of a synthesis reaction. 1.2 Introduction to Copper(II) Glycinate Monohydrate Synthesis Reaction One area of inorganic chemistry research has involved the preparation and study of the properties of a large class of substances known as coordination compounds. These compounds, sometimes called complexes, are typically salts and contain complex ions. A complex ion is an ion that contains a central metal ion (such as Cu 2+ in this experiment), which is bonded (or weakly complexed) to a small polar molecule or a simple ion (such as the glycine anion, C 2 H 4 NO 2 , in this experiment). In this experiment, you will prepare the complex ions by making use of reactions in which substituting ligands (the glycine anions, C 2 H 4 NO 2 ), or coordinating species, replace other ligands (the acetate anion, C 2 H 3 O 2 ) on the central ion (Cu 2+ ).
