Part B: Preparation of an iron bipyridine complex
Working in a fume cupboard: dissolve 0.10 g of anhydrous ferrous chloride [FeCl2] in the minimum amount of water, in a 100 ml conical flask and gently heat on a stirrer hotplate. To this slowly add 0.40 g of 2,2'-bipyridine dissolved in a minimum amount of ethanol and boil gently to concentrate the solution(ensure that the mixture does not boil dry) leave the mixture to cool to room temperature. To the solution add sodium tetrafluoroborate (0.20 g) dissolved in the minimum amount of water. Leave the solution several minutes to allow the precipitation to occur. Filter the product by vacuum filtration and wash the mixture with ethanol (1 ml) and diethylether (10ml).
