I precipitated a white material from my reaction mixture, I vacuum filtered and my intuition told me not to wash it water. Turns out I was right, insoluble in everything I tested, besides methanol and water. Its extremely soluble in water, not so much in methanol. There shouldn't really be any water soluble products. First thing I checked was the pH to make sure it wasn't left over sodium carbonate. Neutral. I'm gonna run a melting point to confirm theres no carbonate in there. The IR spectrum looks quite similar to the starting material, so I'm gonna conclude its not Na2CO3 I have here.
This class of compound is generally soluble in non polars, this is an anomaly I have here, I wanna find out its charged cuz that would up the water solubility quite a bit (although probably not this much). What kinda tests can I run to find out if a material has any ionic bonds?
