3d metals (8 First transition series metals constitute the bulk of essential microminerals to life)
Definition: What is a transition element? An element in the periodic table characterized by having partially filled d orbitals, created by having the adjoining s orbitals filled before the d. Properties: The 3d orbitals are split by ligands resulting in orbitals with higher and lower energy states that supersede the 5 degenerate orbitals. Characterized by Multi-valence states Importance: Resulting complexes take on specific geometrical shapes that relate to binding, color formation, and functionality
Important Definitions Ligand: (Lat: that which ties) A ligand is a charged or neutral molecule that binds to a metal through either coordinate covalent or ionic bonds. Water is a neutral ligand, CN is a charged ligand. Chelator: (Lat. Claw) A chelator is an organic compound that is capable of wrapping around a metal in multiple bonds thus competing with other molecules (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids) for the metal. Multidentate: ( Lat: dentate, teeth) Referring to a molecule that has multiple binding groups within the same chain capable of forming multiple bonds with the metal ion, e.g., bidentate (2) tridentate (3) etc. Orbital Splitting: A process by which d orbitals are split into high and low energy levels in response to the binding of a ligand. Coordination Number: Referring to the number of ligands that attach Coordinate covalent: A type of bond created when a ligand provides the pair of bonding electrons (Lewis base) to share with the metal.

Orbital splitting Insights into the properties of ligands Take Home: By altering the energy state of electrons in a metal ion, ligands are capable of determining valence, reactivity, and even the color of the complex

Ligand Strength and Numbers as a determinant Rule: Ligands differ in the strength of their orbital splitting. The following has been determined experimentally Cl < F- < H2O < NH3 < NO2- < CN- < CO Rule: Low spin complexes are created by ligands with strong orbital splitting properties Rule: Octahedral complexes that have 3, 4, 5, or 6 electrons in the t2g orbital tend to be very stable (inert). All others are labile.

Red Blood vs Blue Blood O2 binding to the heme ring of hemoglobin is coordinated to iron (II). When O2 is bound to one of the coordinates, Fe(II) is in a low spin (high energy) state and the light emitted is a red. Without O2 the iron binds water resulting in high spin (low energy) and takes on a bluish color. red blue Hmb 4O2 red (low spin) Hmb blue (high spin) + 4O2 Arterial blood Venous blood
