Ch 22 complex ions Coordination complex is the product of a Lewis acid-base reaction in which neutral molecules or anions (called ligands) bond to a central metal atom (or ion) by coordinate covalent bonds. Ligands are Lewis bases - they contain at least one pair of electrons to donate to a metal atom/ion. Ligands are also called complexing agents. Metal atoms/ions are Lewis acids - they can accept pairs of electrons from Lewis bases. Within a ligand, the atom that is directly bonded to the metal atom/ion is called the donor atom. If the coordination complex carries a net charge, the complex is called a complex ion. Compounds that contain a coordination complex are called coordination compounds.

Structures of Complex Ions: Coordination Numbers, Geometries, and Ligands • Coordination Number - the number of ligand atoms that are bonded directly to the central metal ion. The coordination number is specific for a given metal ion in a particular oxidation state and compound. • Geometry - the geometry (shape) of a complex ion depends on the coordination number and nature of the metal ion. • Donor atoms per ligand - molecules and/or anions with one or more donor atoms that each donate a lone pair of electrons to the metal ion to form a covalent bond.
Common ligands in coordination compounds Name of common ions
Formulas and Names of Coordination Compounds Rules for naming complexes: 1. The cation is named before the anion. 2. Within the complex ion, the ligands are named, in alphabetical order, before the metal ion. 3. Neutral ligands generally have the molecule name, but there are a few exceptions. Anionic ligands drop the -ide and add -o after the root name. 4. A numerical prefix indicates the number of ligands of a particular type. 5. The oxidation state of the central metal ion is given by a Roman numeral (in parentheses). 6. If the complex ion is an anion we drop the ending of the metal name and add -ate.

Place the ligands in as many different positions as possible. Look for cis-trans and optical isomers. SOLUTION: (a) Pt(II) forms a square planar complex and there are two pair of monodentate ligands - NH3 and Br. These are geometric isomers; they are not optical isomers since they are superimposable on their mirror images. trans cis
continued Determining the Type of Stereoisomerism (b) Ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand. Cr3+ is hexacoordinated and will form an octahedral geometry. Since all of the ligands are identical, there will be no geometric isomerism possible. The mirror images are nonsuperimposable and are therefore optical isomers.
