Post by: hk1076 on March 04, 2012, 03:33:10 AM

Hi,
New to this forum, just wondered if anyone could help me?

I need to find the melting point of [Ni(NCS)2(PPh3)2] and need a literature value so with a valid source. 

Any help is much appreciated.

Hannah.

Wikipedia notes the melting point of triphenylphosphine oxide http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triphenylphosphine_oxide which is the chleating agent.  There are references available on that page, but ACS has gone on record saying that they are monitoring chemistry articles on Wikipedia for vandalism, so the value posted is not incorrect just because its Wikipedia.  Finding the value just for the complex may require a deeper literature search, but the references will at least let you know where to start looking.
