Abstract:
X-ray absorption, Mössbauer, and Raman spectroscopy were combined to determine the local environment of iron ions in acetone based solutions of FeCl2. It is shown that part of the Fe(II) ions change their oxidation state, accompanied by symmetry change from octahedral Fe(H2O)6(2+) to tetrahedral [FeCl4](-) at large acetone concentrations. The ratio of Fe(II)/Fe(III) determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy agrees well with that determined by the X-ray absorption studies. Raman measurements confirm quantitative estimations of [FeCl4](-) species in acetone rich solutions.

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:

Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
