Ligands • Atom, ion or molecule which can donate a pair of e- to a metal ion • Ligand Lewis base Nucleophile • Halides F- Cl- Br- I- • Hydroxide OH- • Cyanide CN- • Water H2O • Ammonia NH3 monodentate (unidentate) ligands
ethane-1,2-diammine (en) bidentate ligand ethanedioate (ox)
ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (edta4-) hexadentate ligand
co-ordination number 6 [Ni(edta)]2- octahedral
Cl- H2O NH3 Increasing stability [NiCl 4]2- + 6H2O→ [Ni(H2O)6]2+ + 4Cl-
H2O ox2- edta4- Increasing stability [Ni(H2O)6]2+ + 3ox→ [Ni(ox)3]4- + 6H2O [Ni(H2O)6]2+ + edta4-→ [Ni(edta)]2- + 6H2O [Ni(ox)3]4- + edta4-→ [Ni(edta)]2- + 3ox
H2O ox2- edta4- Increasing stability of complex [Ni(H2O)6]2+ + 3ox→ [Ni(ox)3]4- + 6H2O [Ni(H2O)6]2+ + edta4-→ [Ni(edta)]2- + 6H2O [Ni(ox)3]4- + edta4-→ [Ni(edta)]2- + 3ox Increase in ENTROPY
[Ni(edta)]2- edta “chelating ligand” Chelate “crab-like” complex Chelates are more stable as their formation results in a more +ve entropy change
bidentate unidentate multidentate chelate
