1. Nomenclature of Coordination Complexes
Ligands
Table 21.13 lists common ligands, names, structures, and abbreviations
2. Naming and Writing Formulas of Coordination Compounds
The cation comes first, then the anion(s)
diamminesilver(I) chloride [Ag(NH3)2]Cl
potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) K3[Fe(CN)6]
Inner Sphere Complex Ion is enclosed in brackets
Ligands are named before the metal
Metal is written first in the formula
Metal oxidation state in Roman Numerals in parenthesis after the metal ion
A space only between cation and anion
No capitalization is needed
tetraamminecopper(II) sulfate [Cu(NH3)4]SO4
hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride [Co(NH3)6]Cl3
Prefixes denote the number of each ligand type. Special prefixes and parentheses are used if the ligand already contains a prefix.
2 di bis 6 hexa hexakis
tri tris 7 hepta heptakis
tetra tetrakis 8 octa octakis
penta pentakis 9 nona nonakis
10 deca decakis
3. dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) fluoride [Co(en)2Cl2]F
tris(bipyridine)iron(II) chloride [Fe(bipy)3]Cl2
Ligands are named in alphabetical order not counting prefixes.
tetraamminedichlorocobalt(III) [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+
amminebromochloromethylamineplatinum(II) [Pt(NH3)BrCl(CH3NH2)]
Ligand name alterations:
Anionic ligands are given an -o suffix: chloro, flouro, oxo, sulfato
Neutral ligands keep their name: methylamine, bipyridine
Water becomes aqua
NH3 becomes ammine to keep separate from alkylamines
How to handle anionic complexes
Add ate to the metal name if the complex ion has an overall (-) charge
Negatively charged complexes of certain metals use their Latin names:
Fe = ferrate Ag = argenate Sb = stibate
Pb = plumbate Sn = stannate Au = aurate
c) [PtCl4]2- = tetrachloroplatinate(II)
4. II. Coordination Chemistry Isomers = same ligands arranged differently
Hierarchy of isomers
5. Structural Isomers = different ligands in coordination sphere
1) Coordination Isomers = ratio of ligand:metal same, but ligands are attached to metal ions in different numbers
[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]
[Pt(NH3)3Cl][Pt(NH3)Cl3]
[Pt(NH3)4][PtCl4]
2) Linkage Isomers = depends on which atom of the ligand is attached to metal
SCN- Linkage isomers
Pb2+SCN = thiocyanate complex
Fe3+NCS = isothiocyanate complex
NO2- Linkage isomers
MONO = nitrito complex
MNO2 = nitro complex
6. C. Stereoisomers = same ligands, but different spatial arrangement
Geometric Isomers
cis- or trans- isomers possible for MA2B2
Six-coordinate complexes also can have cis and trans isomers
Optical Isomers = have opposite effect on plane polarized light
7. Optical Isomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other
Optical Isomers are called Enantiomers (Many biomolecules/drugs)
An object or molecule that has an Enantiomer is called Chiral
8. III. Coordination Compounds and the Localized Electron Model
History
Proposed by Pauling in the 1930s
Describes bonding using hybrid orbitals filled with e- pairs
Extension of Lewis/VSEPR to include d-orbitals
Theory
Metal ions utilize d-orbitals in hybrids
Octahedral complexes require 6 hybrid orbitals
d2sp3 hybridization of metal Atomic Orbitals provides new MO
Ligand lone pairs fill the hybrid orbitals to produce the bond
d-orbitals can come from 3d (low spin) or 4d (high spin)
9. 3) Coordinate Covalent Bond = Ligand as Lewis Base and Metal as Lewis Acid
10. Problems with the theory
High energy 4d orbitals are unlikely participants in bonding
Doesnt explain electronic spectra of transition metal complexes
Crystal Field Theory
History
Developed to describe metal ions in solid state crystals only
M+ is surrounded by A- point charges
Energies of the d-orbitals are split due to unequal geometric interactions with the point charges
Does not take into account covalency and molecular orbitals
Has been extended to do so in Ligand Field Theory
Theory
Place degenerate set of 5 d-orbitals into an octahedral field of (-) charges (L:)
The electrons in the d-orbitals are repelled by the (-) charge of the ligands
The dz2 and dx2-y2 orbitals are most effected because their lobes point directly along x,y,z axes where the point charges are
The dxy, dxz, and dyz orbitals arent destabilized as much
12.
The energy difference between these orbital sets is called delta octahedral = Do
The low energy set has t2g symmetry and are stabilized by 0.4 Do each
The high energy set has eg symmetry and are destabilized by +0.6 Do each
The total energy of the 5 d-orbitals is the same as in the uniform field = 0
(2)(+0.6 Do) + (3)(-0.4 Do) = 0
13. CFSE = Crystal Field Stabilization Energy = how much energy is gained by the electrons in the 5 d-orbitals due to their splitting
Co(III) = d6 low spin
(6e-)(-0.4 Do) = -2.4 Do stabilization
Cu(II) = d9
(6e-)(-0.4 Do) + (3e-)(+0.6 Do) = -0.6 Do stabilization
Cu(I) = d10
(6e-)(-0.4 Do) + (4e-)(+0.6 Do) = 0 Do stabilization
15. 7) All octahedral metal complexes will have the exact same MO diagram, only the number of d-electrons will change
8) The 6 bonding MOs, with lowered energy for their electron pairs is what holds the metal complex together
9) The d-electrons in the t2g and eg* MOs
Determine the Ligand Field
Determine the geometry and many characteristics of the metal complex
Orbital Splitting and Electron Spin
The energy difference between the t2g and eg* MOs = Do = delta octahedral
Strong-Field Ligands = ligands whose orbitals interact strongly with metal ion
eg* is raised in energy
Do is large
Weak-Field Ligands = ligands whose orbitals interact weakly with metal ion
eg* is raised only slightly in energy
Do is small
16. Electron Spin
d0 d3 and d8 d10 octahedral complexes have only one possible arrangement of electrons in the t2g and eg* MOs
d4 d7 octahedral complexes have two possible electronic arrangements
Low Spin = least number of unpaired electrons; favored by strong field ligands with large Do
High Spin = maximum number of unpaired electrons; favored by weak field ligands with small Do
17. Splittings for other geometries:
18. The Spectrochemical Series
A list of Strong-Field through Weak-Field ligands
s-donors only
en > NH3 because it is more basic (stronger field ligand)
F- > Cl- > Br- > I- (basicity)
p-donors
Halides field strength is lowered due to p-donor ability
For similar reasons H2O, OH-, RCO2- also are weak field ligands
p-acceptors increase ligand field strength: CO, CN- > phen > NO2- > NCS-
Combined Spectrochemical Series
19. Electronic Spectra
A characteristic of transition metal complexes is color arising from electronic transitions between d-orbitals of different energies
