Objective: To synthesize the bis(acetylacetonato) copper(II) complex Introduction Complexes consist of a central metal atom surrounded by various other atoms or small molecules called ligands. All ligands are electron pair donor which act as Lewis base. The bonding between metal and ligand generally involves formal donation of one or more of the ligand's electron pairs. The number of ligands bound to the transition metal ion is called the coordination number. The natures of ligand are the availability

Alcoholism is characterized by hyperglycemia, high blood glucose as it is not properly metabolized by the liver. People with alcoholic cirrhosis are unable to store glucose as glycogen thereby remaining in the blood. Moreover, the glucose cannot be metabolized since cirrhosis destroys the pancreas, leading to insufficiency of insulin. Another symptom is excessive bruising as evident on the patient, which

A miniscale diels-alder reaction was performed between the conjugated diene 2,3dimethyl-1,3 butadiene and a substituted alkene such as maleic anhydride in order to produce a substituted cyclohexane. The substituted cyclohexane produced was 4,5-dimethyl-4-cyclohexene-cis-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride. A diels- alder reaction does not have an intermediate state, meaning that bond breaking and bond making occurs at the same time. Heat needs to be applied in order for the reaction to occur and it is

The first molecule of butane shown is antibonding, meaning that the carbon groups are 180 degrees apart. This is the most stable conformation of butane because there is no strain on the molecule. The second molecule of butane shown is eclipsed, the eclipsed molecule has torsional strain between the carbon hydrogen bonds making it less stable than the anti or gauche form. The gauche form is the second most stable configuration of butane where the two methyl groups are staggered 60° apart from each

Concerns over those individuals who drink alcohol excessively and have become heavily dependent on it go back to many centuries and today are still being aimed at the effect that alcohol has on the individual and on the society as a whole. “Alcoholism has conventionally been distinguished as a persistent and chronic disorder” (Fingarette,2005).
