CHEM 522Chapter 01 Introduction
Transition Metal Organometallic Chemistry • Organic versus inorganic chemistry • Transition metals • Oxidation state • d orbitals • Ligands (L) • Coordination compounds or complexes (MLn)
Werner Complexes • Lewis acids and bases • Common types • Octahedral ML6 • Tetrahedral ML4 • Square planar ML4 • Trigonal bipyramid ML5 • Square pyramid ML5 • Stereochemistry • cis, trans isomers • optical isomers
Bridging • When the ligand have more than one site for binding it could make a bridge • 3c-2e bond
Chelate Effect • Chelating ligand can bind through more than one donor atom • Example ethylene diamine • Chelating ligands are favored from entropy point of view M(NH3)6n+ + 3en M(en)3n+ + 6NH3
The Trans Effect • Trans influence: certain ligands make ligands trans to it more labile. • For platinum complexes the order is: OH- < NH3 < Cl- < CN- , CO < PR3 < H-
Hard and Soft Bases • Hard base small and high charge • Soft base large and low charge • Soft-soft and hard-hard interaction is prefer over hard-soft interaction
∆o versus P • Hund’s rule • pairing energy considerations • ∆ > P low spin • ∆ < P high spin
Magnetic Properties of CoordinationCompounds and Crystal Field Theory.
Magnetic moment • Magnetic moment μs μs = √n(n+2) Where n = number of unpaired electrons n μs 11.73 2 2.83 3 3.87 4 4.90 5 5.92
Colors of Transition-Metal Complexes • Transition-metal complexes can be red, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, etc. • Most other compounds are colorless (or, white). • Why are transition-metal complexes special?
Absorption of Light • If a compound is colored, it must absorb visible light. • To absorb visible light a compound must have an empty (or partially filled) electronic energy level that is just a little higher in energy than another filled (or partially filled) level. • The d orbitals in transition-metal ions often meet this test.
Spectrochemical Series • Ligands can be arranged into a spectrochemical series according to the magnitude of splitting of the d-orbitals • Large splitting is associated with strong field ligands • Small splitting is associated with weak field ligands • CN-1>en>NH3>H2O>F->SCN-> Cl-> Br-> I-
∆O>∆T thus no strong field vs. weak field cases Tetrahedral Splitting Pattern of d-Orbitals
Types of Ligands • Simple sigma (σ)donor M-Cl M-NH3 • M can also bond to C=C л bond and H-H σ bond • This is known as hapticity (η) • η2 H2CCH2 • η2 H2
Type of Ligands • σ bonding electron pair donors (always consider 2-e are donated by ligand so ligand will be NH3, H-, R3C-, • σ bonding, strong л-acceptor CO, CN-, PR3, • σ bonding л-donor Cl-, F-, • л-bonding electron pair donor л-acceptor C2H4, O2,
Common Ligands • Table 1.10 • CO, CN- • Cp • PR3 • bipy • dpe • acac
