In the Laboratory
The Octahedral-Square-Planar Transition of Nickel Chelates

Abstract
An experiment for an advanced inorganic chemistry laboratory is proposed that involves the study of the equilibrium between the (blue) octahedral and (yellow) square planar chelates of nickel(II) with tetraaza ligands in solution. The ligands employed are the linear triethylenetetramine and the cyclic cyclam. Changes in the ionic strength or the temperature of the solutions shift the equilibrium, which is followed spectrophotometrically.
Supplement
Detailed version of the laboratory experiment is available as a pdf file, which requires Acrobat Reader to view. The Microsoft Word document has also been compressed into both sit and zip files.
