  2. 24.1: Structure of Complexes Complex:species in which a central metal ion (usually a transition metal) is bonded to a group of surrounding molecules or ions Coordination compound: compound that contains a complex ion or ions.

  3. A coordination compound, or complex, consists of: • Metal ion • Acts as a Lewis acid (e- pair acceptor) • Electrophile: species that is “e- poor” and seeks e- (gets attacked by nucleophile) • Ligand or complexing agent: molecule or ion with a lone pair of e- that bonds to a metal ion • Acts as a Lewis base (e- pair donor) • Coordinate covalent bond: metal-ligand bond • Nucleophile:species that is “e- rich” and seeks an e- poor area of a molecule (seeks an electrophile)

  4. Lewis Structures of common ligands NH3 CN- S2O32- SCN- H2O (not always included in formula, however)

  5. Complexation reactions • Ligand usually added “in excess” on AP • Usually result in color changes (colors generally originate from e- transitions in a partially filled d shell) • Change properties of metal ion • Thermodynamic (DH, DS, DG) • Electrochemical (Eº)

  6. The golden-orange compound is CoCl3*6NH3 while the purple compound only has 5 ammonia molecules in the coordinated compound. As shown in the ball-and-stick model, the chlorides serve as counter ions to the cobalt/ammonia coordiation complex in the orange compound, while one of the ammonia molecules is replaced by Cl in the purple compound. In both cases, the coordination geometry is octahedral around Co.

  7. Notation • Write complexes in square brackets, with charge on outside Ex: Cu2+ (aq) + 4 NH3 (aq) → [Cu(NH3)4]2+ (aq) :NH3 2+ H |Cu2+ (aq) + 4 :N ─ H (aq) → Cu | H :NH3 H3N: :NH3

  8. + H H H | | | Ag+ (aq) + 2 :N ─ H (aq) → H─ N:Ag:N─H (aq) | | | H H H Coordination number • Number of positions where a ligand can bond. • Similar to oxidation state • Each metal ion has a characteristic (i.e., typical) coordination number, which can be predicted according to crystal field theory. • Ag+: coordination number = 2 (2 ligand bonding positions); results in a linear complex [Ag(NH3)2]+ (aq)

  9. Zn2+ & Cu2+: coordination number = 4; tetrahedral complex Ex: [Zn(H2O)4]2+ (aq) • Pt2+: coordination number = 4; square planar complex (d8 e- structure) Ex: [Pt(CN)4]2- (aq)

  10. Al3+, Cr3+, and Fe3+: coordination number = 6; octahedral complex Ex: [Cr(NH3)5Cl]2+ (aq)

  11. Is dependent on: • Charge of ligand: Ni2+: 6 NH3 or 4 CN- (since CN- transfers more negative charge) • Size of ligand: Fe3+: 6 F- or 4 Cl- (larger ions take up more space)

  12. http://chemlabs.uoregon.edu/GeneralResources/models/bidentate.htmlhttp://chemlabs.uoregon.edu/GeneralResources/models/bidentate.html 24.2: Chelates & Polydentate ligands • Ligands with more than one bonding position • Ethylenediamine (“en”, C2H4N2), or oxalate, C2O42- Ex: Cr3+ (aq) + 3 C2O42- (aq) → [Cr(C2O4)3]3-

  13. 24.3: Nomenclature • Name cation before anion; one or both may be a complex. (Follow standard nomenclature for non-complexes.) • Within each complex (neutral or ion), name all ligands before the metal. • Name ligands in alphabetical order • If more than one of the same ligand is present, use a numerical prefix: di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, … • Ignore numerical prefixes when alphabetizing.

  14. Neutral ligands: use the name of the molecule (with some exceptions) NH3ammine- H2O aqua- • Anionic ligand: use suffix –o Br-bromo- CN-cyano- Cl-chloro- OH-hydroxo- • If the complex is an anion, use –ate suffix • Record the oxidation number of the metal in parentheses (if appropriate). Ex: [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 pentamminechlorocobalt (III) chloride

  15. Nomenclature practice potassium hexacyanoferrate tetrammineaquacyanochromium (III) chloride sodium tetrahydroxoaluminate 1. K4[Fe(CN)6] 2. [Cr(NH3)4(H2O)CN]Cl2 3. Na[Al(OH)4]

  16. * 24.5: Color & Magnetism • Atoms or ions with a partially filled d-shell usually exhibit color because the e- transitions fall within the visible part of the EM spectrum. • Ex: transition metals such as Cu2+ (blue) and Fe3+ (orange) • Therefore, those with empty or filled d-shells are usually colorless. • Ex: alkali & alkaline earth halides, Al3+

  17. http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/chemistry/CrystalFieldTheory.htmlhttp://scienceworld.wolfram.com/chemistry/CrystalFieldTheory.html * 24.6: Crystal Field Theory • Created to explain why transition metal ions in complexes (having unfilled d-shells) are not necessarily paramagnetic. • With coordination bonding, valence d-orbitals are not truly degenerate. Instead, they “split”. • Some are lower in energy (more stable) and some higher.

  18. The gap between the higher and lower energy levels is called the crystal-field splitting energy, which varies with each ligand, yielding different E, (different l, different colors). • e- in an “unfilled” d-shell can actually be all paired (i.e., diamagnetic). Ex: Co3+ (has 6 d e-)
