Coordination Chemistry: Nomenclature, Isomerism, and Structure Chapter 9
1. Nomenclature Rules • For charged molecules, the cation comes first followed by the anion. • The following rules apply to both neutral and charged molecules: • B. The elemental formulation has the inner coordination sphere in brackets. • [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2 • When writing the name, the ligands within the coordination sphere are written before the metal. • tetraammineplatinum(II) chloride • C. Ligand names (refer to handout). • Monodentate: Ligands with one point of attachment • Chelates (Bidentate…multidentate): Ligands with two or more points of attachment
1. Nomenclature Rules C. The number of ligands of each kind is indicated by prefixes using the following table. • Use prefixes in column A for simple cases. • Use prefixes in column B for ligands with names that already use prefixes from column A. • [Co(en)2Cl2]+ • Dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) A B
1. Nomenclature Rules • D. Ligands are written in alphabetical order-according to the ligand name, not the prefix. • E. Anionic ligands are given an o suffix. • Neutral ligands retain their usual name • Coordinated water is called aqua • Coordinated ammonia is called ammine
1. Nomenclature Rules F. Designate the metal oxidation state after the metal. [PtClBr(NH3)(H2O)] Ammineaquabromochloroplatinum(II) [Pt(NH3)4]2+ Tetraammineplatinum(II) If the molecule is negatively charged, the suffix –ate is added to the name [Pt(NH3)Cl3]- Amminetrichloroplatinate(II)
1. Nomenclature Rules Special names for metals when in a negatively charged molecule: Copper (Cu): Cuprate Iron (Fe): ferrate Silver (Ag): argentate Lead (Pb): Plumbate Tin(Sn): Stannate Gold(Au): Aurate
1. Nomenclature Rules • G. Prefixes designate adjacent (cis-) and opposite (trans-) geometric locations • cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) is an anticancer agent. • The trans isomer is not.
1. Nomenclature Rules H. Bridging ligands between two metal ions have the prefix μ μ-amido-μ-hydroxobis(tetraaminecobalt)(IV)
2. Isomerism Ligand isomers
2. Isomerism Conformational Isomers Geometric Isomers cis-trans fac-mer
A. Constitutional Isomers • Linkage (Ambidentate) Isomers • A ligand can bind in more than one way • [Co(NH3)5NO2]2+ • Co-NO2 Nitro isomer; yellow compound • Co-ONO Nitrito isomer; red compound • The binding at different atoms can be due to the hard/soft-ness of the metal ions • SCN- • Hard metal ions bind to the N • Soft metal ions bind to the S • Solvent can influence the point of attachment • For SCN-: M-S bonds favored in solvents of high dipole moment • M-N bonds favored in solvents of low dipole moment
A. Constitutional Isomers • Ligand Isomers • III. Ionization Isomers • Difference in which ion is included as a ligand and which is present to balance the overall charge • [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4vs[Co(NH3)5SO4]Br • IV. Solvate (Hydrate) Isomers • The solvent can play the role of ligand or as an additional crystal occupant • [CrCl(H2O)5]Cl2· H2O vs[Cr(H2O)6]Cl3
A. Constitutional Isomers V. Coordination Isomers Same metal Formulation- Pt(NH3)2Cl2 [Pt(NH3)2Cl2] [Pt(NH3)3Cl][Pt(NH3)Cl3] [Pt(NH3)4][PtCl4] Same metal but different oxidation states [Pt(NH3)4][PtCl6] +2 +4 [Pt(NH3)4Cl2][PtCl4] +4 +2 Different Metals [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6] [Co(CN)6][Cr(NH3)6]
B. Stereoisomers • Enantiomers • Optical isomers (chiral) • Non-superimposable mirror image • Recall from group theory, something is chiral if • a. Has no improper rotation axis (Sn) • b. Has no mirror plane (S1) • c. Has no inversion center (S2) Square planar complex If it were tetrahedral, it would not be chiral.
B. Stereoisomers • II. Diastereomers • Geometric isomers • 4-coordinate complexes • Cis and trans isomers of square-planar complexes (cis/transplatin) • Chelate rings can enforce a cis structure if the chelating ligand is too small to span the trans positions
B. Stereoisomers • II. Diastereomers • Geometric isomers • 6-coordinate complexes • Facial(fac) arrangement of ligands • Meridional(mer) arrangement of ligands • Two sets of ligands segregated into two perpendicular planes. • Two sets of ligands segregated to two different faces.
B. Stereoisomers • II. Diastereomers • Geometric isomers • 6-coordinate complexes • Different arrangements of chelating ring
B. Stereoisomers • Conformational isomers • Because many chelate rings are not planar, they can have different conformations in different molecules, even in otherwise identical molecules.
B. Stereoisomers • Conformational isomers • Ligands as propellers
B. Stereoisomers • Conformational isomers • Ligand symmetry can be changed by coordination. Coordination may make ligands chiral as exhibited by the four-coordinate nitrogens.
C. Separation of Isomers • Fractional crystallization can separate geometric isomers. • Strategy assumes isomers have different solubilities in a specific solvent mixture and will • not co-crystallize. • b. Ionic compounds are least soluble when the positive and negative ions have the same size and magnitude of charge. • Large cations will crystallize best with large anions of the same charge. • Chiral isomers can be separated using • a. Chiral counterions for crystallization • b. Chiral magnets
C. Identification of Isomers • X-ray crystallography • Spectroscopic methods • In general, crystals of different handedness rotate light differently. • a. Optical rotatory dispersion (ORD): Caused by a difference in the refractive indices of the right and left circularly polarized light resulting from plane-polarized light passing through a chiral substance. • b. Circular dichroism(CD): Caused by a difference in the absorption of right-and left-circularly polarized light.
