E N D
Complex Ion • An ion formed when a positive central element binds with multiple ions or polar molecules
Complex Ion • The central element is almost always a positively charged metal
Anion • Negatively charged ion
Cation • Positively charged ion
Metal Ion Examples • Cu+2 Cu+ Au+ • Ag+ Zn+2 Ni+2 • Pt+2 Co+2 Al+3
Ligands • The negative ions or polar molecules bound by the central element in a complex ion
Ligand Examples • Cl- F- H2O • NH3 CN- Br- • NO O2 OH-
Polydentate Ligands • Ligands that can bind to more than one point
Bidentate Ligands • Ligands that can bind to two points in a complex ion
Bidentate Examples • H2N-CH2-CH2-NH2 • -O2C-CO2-
Tridentate Ligands • Ligands that can bind to three points in a complex ion
Tridentate Examples • H2-C-COO- • HO-C-COO- • H2-C-COO-
Chelates • Polydentate ligands that bind to metal ions in solution
Coordination Number • The number of points in which ligands bind to the central element in a complex ion
Coordinate Covalent Bond • Covalent bonds in which both electrons involved are donated by one atom
Complex Ions • The bonds formed in a complex ion are coordinate covalent bonds
Coordination Complex • A complex ion and its counter ion
Complex Ions • The bonds formed in a complex ion are coordinate covalent bonds
Complex Ion • Because of the type bonding, they are sometimes called coordinate complexes
Naming Complexes • 2) Name ligands before metal in the complex ion
2) Naming Ligands • a) give neutral compds normal names except:
H2O aqua • NH3 amine • CO carbonyl • NO nitrosyl
2) Naming Ligands • b) change -ide endings to -o for all anions
2) Naming Ligands • d) use geometric prefixes for monodentate ligands
2) Naming Ligands • e) use bis- for 2 & tris- for 3 polydentate ligands
3) Naming Metal • a) use the normal name if the complex ion is (+)
3) Naming Metal • b) make the metal ending -ate if the complex ion is (-)
3) Naming Metal • d) use Roman numerals in () to indicate metal ox #
Name the Following: • [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2 • [Co(H2O)2Cl4]-2 • [Cu(H2O)2(en)2]I2
Predict # of isomers of each: • [Pt(NH3)4 Cl2] [Co(H2O)3Cl3]
Complex Ion Shapes • 2-linear • 4-tetrahedral or sq pl • 6-octahedral
Geometric Isomers • Square planar vs tetrahedral • cis vs trans
Geometric Isomers • Bunched octa- • T-shaped octa- • bis: cis vs trans
Optical Isomers • Tri-bis mirror images
Field Strength • CN- > NO2- > en > NH3 > NCS- > H2O > F- > Cl-
Field Strength • CN- is strong field • Cl- is weak field
Field Strength • Determines d-level splitting or Do(splitting energy)
Field Strength • Large Do yields low spin or diamagnetic compds
Field Strength • Small Do yields high spin or paramagnetic compds
[Pt(NH3)2I4]-2 • Determine: • Name, shape, & possible isomerism

Complex Ion Equilibria Cu+2 + 4 NH3 [Cu(NH3)4]+2 [Cu(NH3)4]+2 [Cu+2][NH3]4 Kf =
Calculate the ratio of [Cu+2]/ [Cu(NH3)4]+2 when Cu+2 is added to a 0.10 M NH3 solution:Kf = 2.0 x 1012
Common Ion Equilibria • The larger the Kf, the more likely the complex will form
Common Ion Equilibria • Kf for [Ag(NH3)2]+1 • = 1.7 x 107 • Kf for [Ag(CN)2]-1 • = 2.0 x 1020
Common Ion Equilibria • Kf for [M(NH3)2]+2 • = 1.7 x 107 • Kf for [M(CN)4]-2 • = 2.0 x 1020
Common Ion Equilibria CN- will replace NH3 in the complex with silver
