Yea want it to be over soon

Heyo: does anyone have any idea why Zinc ferrocynide is white?

The ferrocynide should have given at least a tinge of yellow.

@Jasmine @YuvrajSingh... @YusufHasan @GuruVishnu

@Help I haven't done much spectroscopy, but I think the blank should draw a zero. Probably not calibrated.

Minor note: It's "Zinc ferrocyanide" and not "Zinc ferrocynide"

For the main question, you might need to wait for the experts.

@GuruVishnu Right.

@WilliamR.Ebenezer Well, it seems LaPorte forbidden, that's for sure

Plus, it is a d6 low spin compound

so no Jahn Teller effect expected

@Archer Jai corona jai corona*

@YusufHasan I can counter that with two points. Tell me if I'm wrong. 1. All d-d transitions are forbidden anyway, but the vibronic coupling at room temperature is enough to distort the centrosymmetry of the oh complex, relaxing Laporte rules. 2. Potassium ferrocyanide is a nice yellow. Surely the same logic applied to it as well!

What I intend to know is that, "What happens if we have different halides in the cuprous salt and the diazonium salt?"

@WilliamR.Ebenezer The extent of the Jahn Teller distortion is variable for different types of electronic configurations. If you look here under the simplified overview tab, you will see a table there,under Jan Teller effect that will show that no distortion is expected for high spin d6 complexes 2) The polarizing power of the cation also plays a huge role in any form of charge transfer being affected. Zn2+ is much more polarizing

Than K+. This causes much more difficulty in electronic transitions taking place in the ferrocyanide ion in the former case

See this for more details

@Quantum-meatball Hi

@YusufHasan Hello

Different halides as in.. You want to vary the halogen which is present in the diazonium salt?

Yes,you can use chloride and bromide both

Even cyanide, a pseudohalogen

You can see the reference here

@PolarBear Are you not getting bored at home ?

@YusufHasan So just to be crystal clear, if I use benzene diazonium chloride with cuprous bromide it will give me bromobenzene and if I use benzene diazonium bromide with cuprous chloride it will give me chlorobenzene?

Hooya Guys !! how are y'all ?

Oh no no, the same halide has to be consistent throughout the reaction, if it's chloride,then all the chloride analogues at the reactants side and so on

@AdvilSell Hooya

#ThaaliBajaiKya? xD

@AdvilSell Bored as helll!!

@YusufHasan Dude people here were banging utensils and firing crackersss like hell

@YusufHasan :p han xD

@Archer same here

@Archer Crackers?? Who gets this excited man lmao

@YusufHasan Apparently people also danced and did garba together loll

We only had conches, utensils,even a lowkey guitar but that it lol

@Archer fuck

@YusufHasan Ok, thank you so much!! That's what I wanted to ask! Also when making iodobenzene, using Potassium Iodide with benzene diazonium chloride/bromide is ok right? Also, Hooya @AdvilSellis

@Archer Ohh, I see.. The entire purpose of quarantine defeated collectively by Indians lol

@AdvilSell Whatsapp university has already declared the extinction of corona XDDD

@Archer xDDD

@Archer Oh yeah, that thing na... Virus only lives for 12 hours, curfew=14 hours, hence, all virus ded lol

what are you all doing ?

@Quantum-meatball Yeah,either of the two will work

@Archer IITD reference

@AdvilSell doing this sems syllabus :( , wbu?

@YusufHasan Thanks again!!

@AdvilSell Applying sanitizer on hand, then on phone,only to realize that hands have become dirty,so sanitizer on hand, only to realize the phone was kept on a dirty table,apply sanitizer on phone and so on lol

@Archer Nothing got some ckt to desing just finishing up on those

@YusufHasan lol

@AdvilSell didnt get you??

ckt ?

@Archer circuits

Ohhh lol

lol

:p

@AdvilSell circuit designing? Why?

@Archer I am into electronics nowadays working with a team that make auv in nitr

@AdvilSell wow :O

@AdvilSell what's your branch??

@Archer bt lol

@Archer Yes but also fun

Like different experience xD

Waise bhi I hadn't been home for more than 12 days in the last 7 months, now's the time

And I like that classes are cancelled

Sad that some events had to be forgone

But what if they curtail the summer break :((

@Archer :{(

noooooooooooo.......

They will

@Archer A highly probable event

What's the problem though

Internships will suffer this year

Definitely

But many are shifting online

@PolarBear 45+ temp in pilani

You weren't staying in campus in summer?

I had planned on an internship at IITD this year, now idk how that will happen

Which dept?

@PolarBear Management

Which prof?

@Archer same in rourkela

Oh cool! You got replies?

Biswajit Parida

@PolarBear it's the highest in May-June...We start sem1 in August, which isn't that hot.

@Archer Similar problem in Kolkata, so so humid in May and June

You step outside,it's like you came out of the shower

agh

@YusufHasan Ahh cool

Pretty nice you got reply because many outsiders don't

@Archer Oh yes yes, any summer plans?

@PolarBear Do you know anything about the action your college has taken this year about internships? Like our college has declared that IISERK's internships stand cancelled.. Any word from IITD?

Delhi also same, Mumbai also same. What do I even do xD

@YusufHasan Yours isn't internship exactly right, you are doing a summer project. They depend on profs

@PolarBear not yet, what's yours?

@PolarBear Hmm,yeah.. I guess I will ask the prof only then

@Archer projects

@PolarBear what kinda ?

@PolarBear like??

@AdvilSell +1

cool

Craze at our college of mailing profs

@AdvilSell Vaise just btw,do you get some kind of scholarship from DST(Govt. of India) for your degree?

My friends from other colleges mailed profs in IITD and they be like they don't reply and we're like pehle hume toh reply mile lol

@YusufHasan nope

@PolarBear That's why I targeted very new profs at your college,atleast unke utne bhau nhi honge lmao

@PolarBear :p

@YusufHasan That's what I observed, the prof you selected is new! XD

@AdvilSell Ahh, I see... I guess you could have applied for the inspire scholarship maybe

@YusufHasan I wouldn't get it anyway

@PolarBear Yeah,ussi management ke ek aur senior prof ka reply aaya tha 2-3 baar pareshan karne pe,single word, "no"

Rofl xD

@AdvilSell Oh wait a minute,you have a BTech degree,right?

@YusufHasan Some CS students at our IIT got such brutal single word rejections, they were heartbroken xD

@YusufHasan yes

How to move messages?

@PolarBear Kya heartbroken, jab tak ban na karde insitute tumhe mail karne se tab tak karna chahiye I believe xD

righthand side

@AdvilSell Ok,I was mistaken.. Maafi

@PolarBear above profilepic room

@YusufHasan shama de di gayi hai xD

@AdvilSell Yes yes but imagine the students of top dept getting rejected like that xDD

@AdvilSell Thanks!

Kewl

Trash

@PolarBear Lmao xD😂

Nice editing.. Yhi to missing tha lyf mei

@YusufHasan 😂

Yes lol

@Archer you know any Kartik pandey ?

from pilani ?

@AdvilSell No, why?

@AdvilSell Is he a fresher?

@Archer nothing , just asking

@Archer yup

@YusufHasan What did you mail her?

Do you have background of marketing

@PolarBear Kinda, I am already an event organizer at my college fest in the first year, I took online certified courses on Entrepreneurship and Marketing from MyCaptain(IIM Bangalore affiliated), and I was part of the runner up team of the Hult Prize start up event at our college. Also took part in the MHRD National IIC Summit(basically business stuff ig)
