In summary, the speaker is conducting an experiment on ligand fields and paramagnetic effects using a range of transition metals to make complex ions. They are looking for a solvent to dissolve a specific compound, bis-(dimethylglyoxime-nickel (II)), but have tried various options with no success. They are considering using diethyl ether, but are unsure if it will work due to its organic nature. They also mention a potential reaction with hydrochloric acid that resulted in a colorless solution. Another person suggests using absolute alcohol as a solvent, but the speaker considers it a waste.

yeh basically I am doing an experiment into ligand fields and paramagnetic effects, possible inter-relations etc... and i have a range of transition metals and have proceeded to make complex ions from them, however i wish to pass them through a spectrometer but clearly this can't be done if the ion in question doesn't dissolve... does anyone know of any solvent that i can use to dissolve bis-(dimethylglyoxime-nickel (II)), formula Ni[CH3C(NOH)C(NOH)CH3]2?? its really annoying me, so far i have tried water, ethanol, cyclohexane, 5mol/l hydrochloric acid, a chloroform substitute and 6mol/l ammonia solution... and none have worked, the only other option i can think of is diethyl ether but i feel that it won't work due to its organic nature...

also out of interest, anyone know what would be formed if bis-(dimethylglyoxime-nickel (II)) reacted with hydrochloric acid because a colourless solution was formed and if I am honest i don't have a clue what it was...

thanks

The Merck Index has it 'appreciably soluble' in absolute alcohol. Terrible waste of Absolut in my opinion, though...
