What is Inorganic Compounds about?

The most common method of purifying inorganic species is by recrystallisation, usually from water. However, especially with salts of weak acids or of cations other than the alkaline and alkaline earth metals, care must be taken to minimise hydrolysis. This can be achieved, for example, by recrystallising acetates in the presence of dilute acetic acid. Nevertheless, there are many inorganic chemicals that are too insoluble or are hydrolysed by water so that no general purification method can be given. It is convenient that many inorganic substances have large temperature-solubility coefficients for their solubility in water, i.e. large amounts dissolve in boiling water and on cooling to <25 o large amounts of crystals separate. In cases where the temperature-solubility coefficients are small, crystallisation can be achieved by slow partial solvent evaporation. Organo-metallic compounds, on the other hand, behave very much like organic compounds, e.g. they can be redistilled and may be soluble in organic solvents. A note of caution should be made about handling organometallic compounds, e.g. arsines, phosphines, because of their potential toxicities, particularly when they are volati
