Coordination compoundA compound formed from a Lewis acid and Lewis

base.A metal or metal ion acting Lewis acid (being an

electron pair acceptor) and a atom or group of atoms with lone electron pairs Lewis base electron pair donor forms an adduct with dative or coordinative covalent bonds.

Ni(ClO4)2 (aq)+ 6NH3 → [Ni(NH3)6](ClO4)2 (aq) The Lewis bases attached to the metal ion in such

compounds are called ligands.


The coordination number (CN) CN of a metal ion in a complex is defined as the

number of ligand donor atoms to which the metal is directly bonded.

[Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ CN is 6, 1 chloride and 5 ammonia ligands each

donating an electron pair. For organometallic compounds. An alternative

definition of CN would be the number of electron pairs arising from the ligand donor atoms to which the metal is directly bonded.


1) What is a coordination compound?



Coordination sphere• Coordination sphere - the sphere around the

central ion made up of the ligands directly attached to it. Primary and secondary coordination sphere.


Preparation of Complexes

• The figure at left shows cyanide ions (in the form of KCN), being added to an aq. solution of FeSO4.

• Since water is a Lewis base, the Fe2+ ions were originally in the complex [Fe(H2O)6]2+

• The CN- ions are driving out the H2O molecules in this substitution reaction that form the hexacyanoferrate(II) ion, [Fe(CN)6]4- .

[Fe(H2O)6]2+

+ 6 CN- [Fe(CN)6]

4- + 6 H2O


Various Colors of d-Metal Complexes

The color of the complex depends on the identity of the

ligands as well as of the metal..

Impressive changes of color often accompany substitution

reactions.




Structures and symmetries

• Six-coordinate complexes are almost all octahedral (a).

• Four-coordinate complexes can be tetrahedral (b) or square planar (c).

• (Square planar usually occurs with d8 electron configurations, such as in Pt2+ and Au3+.)


Representing Octahedral Shapes• Instead of a perspective drawing (a), we can

represent octahedral complexes by a simplified drawing that emphasizes the geometry of the bonds (b).


LigandsThe Brønsted bases or Lewis base attached to the

metal ion in such compounds are called ligands.These may be Simple ions such as Cl–, CN–

Small molecules such as H2O or NH3,Larger molecules such as H2NCH2CH2NH2 N(CH2CH2NH2)3

Macromolecules, EDTA and biological molecules such as proteins.


Representative Ligands and NomenclatureBidentate Ligands

Polydentate Ligands• Some ligands can simultaneously occupy more

than one binding site.• Ethylenediamine (above) has a nitrogen lone pair

at each end, making it bidentate. It is widely used and abbreviated “en”, as in [Co(en)3]3+.



Ethylenediaminetetraacetate Ion (EDTA)• EDTA4- is another example of a

chelating agent. It is hexadentate.

• This ligand forms complexes with many metal ions, including Pb2+, and is used to treat lead poisoning.

• Unfortunately, it also removes Ca2+ and Fe2+ along with the lead.

• Chelating agents are common in nature.


Porphyrins and phthalocyanins


Chelates• The metal ion in [Co(en)3]3+ lies

at the center of the three ligands as though pinched by three molecular claws. It is an example of a chelate,

• A complex containing one or more ligands that form a ring of atoms that includes the central metal atom.


Naming Transition Metal Complexes• Cation name first then anion name.• List first the ligands, then the central atom• The ligand names are made to end in -O if negative• Anion part of the complex ends in -ateEg. Cu(CN)6

4- is called the hexacyanocuprate(II) ion• The ligands are named in alphabetic order• Number of each kind of ligand by Greek prefix• The oxidation state of the central metal atom

shown in parenthesis after metal name• Briding is shown with ( -oxo)

Ionization Isomers• These differ by the exchange of a ligand with an

anion (or neutral molecule) outside the coordination sphere. [CoSO4(NH3)5]Br has the Br- as an accompanying anion (not a ligand) and [CoBr(NH3)5]SO4 has Br - as a ligand and SO4

2-as accompanying anion.


Ionization IsomersThe red-violet solution of [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4

(left) has no rxn w/ Ag

when Ba2+

ions are added.

The dark red solution of [CoSO4(NH3)5]Br

(right) forms a ppt. w/ Ag+

ions, but does not

react w/ Ba2+

ions.


Hydrate Isomers• These differ by an ex-change

between an H2O molecule and another ligand in the coordination sphere.

• The solid, CrCl3. 6H2O, may be any of three compounds.

• [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 (violet) • CrCl(H2O)5]Cl2.H2O (blue-green) • CrCl2 (H2O)4Cl.2H2O (green)• Primary and secondary

coordination spheres


Linkage IsomersThe triatomic ligand is the isothiocyanato, NCS-. In (b) it is the thiocyanato, SCN-. Other ligands capable or forming linkage isomers are NO2

- vs. ONO - CN - vs. NC - .

(a) NSC- ligand (the N is closest to the center);

(b) SCN- ligand (S is closest the center)


Coordination Isomers

• These occur when one or more ligands are exchanged between a cationic complex and an anionic complex.

• An example is the pair [Cr(NH3)6][Fe(CN)6] and[Fe(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6].


Stereoisomers• Ionization, hydrate, linkage, and coordination

isomers are all structural isomers. • In stereoisomers, the formulas are the same. The

atoms have the same partners in the coordination sphere, but the arrangement of the ligands in space differs.

• The cis- and trans- geometric isomers shown in next slide differ only in the way the ligands are arranged in space.

• There can be geometric isomers for octahedral and square planar complexes, but not for tetrahedral complexes.


Square Planar ComplexesGeometric Isomers• Properties of geometric isomers can vary greatly. • The cis- isomer below is pale orange-yellow, has a

solubility of 0.252 g/100 g water, and is used for chemotherapy treatment.

• The trans- isomer is dark yellow, has a solu-bility of 0.037 g/100 g water, and shows no hemotherapeutic effect.

Trans Effect & Influence


Preparation Geometrical Isomers


Optical IsomerismThe two complexes at left are mirror images.

(The gray rectangle represents a mirror,

through which we see somewhat darkly.)

No matter how the complexes are rotated,

neither can be superimposed on the other.

Note only four of the six ligands are different.


Combined Stereoisomerisms• Both geometrical and optical isomerism can

occur in the same complex, as below. The trans- isomer is green.

• The two cis- isomers, which are optical isomers of each other, are violet.



Identifying Optical IsomerismIf a molecule or ion belong to a point group with a Sn axis is not optically active



Molecular Polarity and Chirality Polarity

• Polarity:Only molecules belonging to the point groups Cn, Cnv and Cs are polar. The dipole moment lies along the symmetry axis formolecules belonging to the point groups Cn and Cnv.

• Any of D groups, T, O and I groups will not be polar


ChiralityOnly molecules lacking a Sn axis can be chiral.This includes mirror planesand a center of inversion as S2=s , S1=I and Dn groups.Not Chiral: Dnh, Dnd,Td and Oh.

Formation of Coordination Complexestypically coordination compounds are more labile or

fluxional than other molecules X is leaving group and Y is entering group

MX + Y MY + XOne example is the competition of a ligand, L for a

coordination site with a solvent molecule such as H2O

Bonding and electronic structure

Bonding Theories of Transition Metal Complexes

• Valance Bond Theory

• Crystal Field Theory

• Ligand Field Theory or Molecular Orbital Theory


Valance Bond Theory”Outer orbital" (sp3d2) and ”Inner orbital" (d2sp3)[CoF6]3- - Co3+ : d6

[Co(NH3)6]3+ - Co3+ : d6


Spectrochemical Series for Ligands

• It is possible to arrange representative ligands in an order of increasing field strength called the spectrochemical series:

I¯ < Br¯ < -SCN¯ < Cl¯ < F¯ < OH¯ < C2O42¯ < H2O < -

NCS¯ < py < NH3 < en < bipy < o-phen < NO2¯ < CN¯ < CO


8) Use valence bond theory (VBT) to predict the electron configurations, the type of bonding (Inner and outer orbital) and number of unpaired electrons in following compounds:

a) [Co(CN)6]3- ;

b) [CoCl6]3-;

c) [Fe(NH3)6]3+;


Crystal Field Theory

• In the electrical fields created by ligands• The orbitals are split into two groups: a

set consisting of dxy, dxz, and dyz stabilized by 2/5Do, known by their symmetry

• classification as the t2g set, and a set consisting of the dx2-y2 and dz2, known as the eg set, destabilized by 3/5Do where Do is the gap between the two sets.

Do is 10,400 cm-1 and the pairing energy is 17600cm-

total of the CFSE and the pairing energy for the two

possible configurations.

Tetrahedral complexes• Splitting order or reversed. eg is now lower energy

and t2g is hgher energy• Because a tetrahedral complex has fewer ligands,

the magnitude of the splitting is smaller. The difference between the energies of the t2g and eg orbitals in a tetrahedral complex (t) is slightly less than half as large as the splitting in analogous octahedral complexes (o)

• Dt = 4/9Do


Tetrahedral Ligand Arrangement

Dt = 4/9Do

Mostly forms high spin complxes


Octahedral Crystal Field Splitting


Square-planar Complexes-D4h


Generalizations about Crystal Field Splittings• The actual value of D depends on both the metal

ion and the nature of the ligands:• The splitting increases with the metal ion

oxidation state. For example, it roughtly doubles going from II to III.

• The splitting increases by 30 - 50% per period down a group.

• Tetrahedral splitting would be 4/9 of the octahedral value if the ligands and metal ion were the same.


Spectrochemical Series for Ligands

• It is possible to arrange representative ligands in an order of increasing field strength called the spectrochemical series:

I¯ < Br¯ < -SCN¯ < Cl¯ < F¯ < OH¯ < C2O42¯ < H2O < -

NCS¯ < py < NH3 < en < bipy < o-phen < NO2¯ < CN¯ < CO


Spectrochemical Series for Metals

It is possible to arrange the metals according to a spectrochemical series as well. The approximate order is

Mn2+ < Ni2+ < Co2+ < Fe 2+ < V2+ < Fe3+ < Co3+ < Mn3+ < Mo3 + < Rh3 + < Ru3 + < Pd4+ < Ir3+ < Pt 3+

fact that they are split into groups of 3 (t2g)

Weak Field vs. Strong Fieldnow that d orbitals are not degenerate how do we know what an electronic ground state for a d metal complex is? need to determine the relative energies of pairing vs. Do


Splitting vs. Pairing

when you have more than 3 but fewer than 8 delectrons you need to think about the relative meritspairing vs. Do

• high-spin complex – one with maximum number of unpaired electrons

• low-spin complex – one with fewer unpaired electrons


Rules of Thumb for Splitting vs Pairing• depends on both the metal and the ligands• high-spin complexes occur when o is small Do is

small when:• n is small (3 rather than 4 or 5)– high spin only

really for 3d metals• oxidation state is low– i.e. for oxidation state of

zero or 2+• ligands is low in spectrochemical series– eg

halogens


Four Coordinate Complexes: Tetrahedral

Same approach but different set of orbitals with different ligand field

• Arrangement of tetrahedral field of point charges results in splitting of energy where dxy, dzx, dyz are repelled more by Td field of negative charges

• So the still have a split of the d orbitals into triply degenerate (t2) and double degenerate (e) pair but now e is lower energy and t2 is higher.


Tetrahedral Crystal Field Splitting


Ligand Field Splitting: Dt

describes the separation between reviouslydegenerate d orbitals

• Same idea as Do but Dt < 0.5 Do for comparable systems

• So …Almost Exclusively Weak Field

Weak field and strong fieled cases


Tetragonal ComplexesStart with octahedral geometry and follow theenergy as you tetragonally distort the octahedronTetragonal distortion: extension along z andcompression on x and yOrbitals with xy components increase inenergy, z components decrease in energyResults in further breakdown of degeneracy– t2g set of orbitals into dyz, dxz and dxy

– eg set of orbitals into dz2 and dx2-y2


Tetragonal Complexes


Square Planar Complexes• extreme form of tetragonal distortion• Ligand repulsion is completely removed from• z axis

Common for 4d8

and

5d8 complexes:

Rh(I), Ir(I)

Pt(II), Pd(II)


Jahn Teller Distortiongeometric distortion may occur in systemsbased on their electronic degeneracyThis is called the Jahn Teller Effect:

If the ground electronic configuration of anonlinear complex is orbitally degenerate, thecomplex will distort to remove the degeneracyand lower its energy.


Jahn Teller DistortionsOrbital degeneracy: for octahedral geometrythese are:– t2g

3eg1 eg. Cr(II), Mn(III) High spin complexes

– t2g6eg

1 eg. Co(II), Ni(II)– t2g

6eg3 eg. Cu(II)

basically, when the electron has a choice between one of the two degenerate eg orbitals, the geometry will distort to lower the energy of the orbital that is occupied.

Result is some form of tetragonal distortion


Ligand Field TheoryCrystal field theory: simple ionic model, does not

accurately describe why the orbitals are raised or lowered in energy upon covalent bonding.

• LFT uses Molecular Orbital Theory to derive the ordering of orbitals within metal complexes

• Same as previous use of MO theory, build ligand group orbitals, combine them with metal atomic orbitals of matching symmetry to form MO’s


LFT for Octahedral Complexes

Magnetic Properties of Atoms • a) Diamagnetism? • Repelled by a magnetic field due to paired electrons.

b)Paramagnetism?• attracted to magnetic field due to un-paired electrons.

c) Ferromagnetism? • attracted very strongly to magnetic field due to un-paired

electrons. • d)Anti-ferromagnetic?• Complete cancelling of unpaired electrons in magnetic

domains
