I am trying to determine molecular formula of my Prussian blue analogue from experimental data. I have TGA data which gives me the amount of water and I have ICP data which gives me K/Fe . So assuming my compund is KFe[Fe(CN)6] . xH2O (without any vacancies), how would I find the molecular formula of my material? Unfortunately I dont have mossbauer data to find the amount of vacancies.
with HRMS you can have elemental anaysis, providing you the number of each element availble in the structure.
Hi Sadia, yea sounds good, but I dont have access immediately to HRMS.
Dear Sai Gourang Patnaik , in addition to Sadia Tul Munna recomendation, you could try with some elemental analysis. If your compund is cristalline you could also do some powder or single crystal x-ray difracción analysis, which would let you get the structural formula and the packing of your molecule and water molecues into the unit cell.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your research work and best wishes.
