Coordination Chemistry ligands bonding to metals
Definitions Lewis Acid = acceptor = usually a transition metal cation Lewis Base = donor = ligand = usually something with a lone electron pair Coordination number = # of metal-ligand attachments Denticity = # of attachments a ligand makes
Common Ligands Monodentate Ligands: Halides: F-, Cl-, Br-, I- O2-, S2-, OH-, CN- NH3, H2O, CO Bidentate Ligands: Polydentate Ligands: heme, salen
Bidentate ligand complexes Co(en)2Cl2 Ni(DMG)2
Bidentate complexes Co(en)32+ Fe(phen)32+
Polydentate complexes Co(salen)+ chlorophyll
Polydentate complexes Fe-heme O2-Fe-heme
