What is the charge for Hexaminotriphenylene?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the potential replacement of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Rh, Os, Ir) in the structure X3(HITP)2 with magnesium (Mg). Concerns about stability arise due to magnesium not being a transition metal, which may affect the structural integrity of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The square planar configuration typical of HITP MOFs is not characteristic of magnesium compounds, further raising doubts about the feasibility of using Mg in this context. Overall, the consensus leans toward skepticism regarding the stability of magnesium in these structures compared to the transition metals.

I have seen the structures like X3 (HITP)2 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Rh, Os, Ir). Can I replace X with Mg? Will it be stable?

No idea, but one thing definitely asks for attention: what does Mg miss, that all other metals listed have?
 
well, all the other elements are transition elements where as Mg is not.
 
Yep - that makes me doubt stability. But it is just a guess.
 
HITP MOFs are generally formed with metals in a square planar configuration, which isn’t found in magnesium compounds.
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
