Using different characterization methods, I was able to determine the chemical formula of the unknown sample I was given. After identifying the required compound, I had to synthesize the sample and analyse both the unknown and synthesized sample and compare the results.
The samples were analysed using CHN analysis, IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis-NIR electron spectroscopy, conductivity measurements of acetonitrile sample solutions, X-ray powder diffraction and magnetic measurements. A termogravimetric analysis of both samples was also performed.
