l molecules (ligands). [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 Postulates of Werners Theory of Coordination Compounds In coordination compounds, there are two types of linkages (valences) primary and secondary. The primary valences are ionisable, and are satisfied by negative ions. The secondary valences are non-ionisable, and are satisfied by negative ions or neutral molecules. The secondary valence is equal to the coordination number of a metal, and remains fixed for a metal. Primary valence is non-directional. Secondary valence are directional. Ligands have different spatial arrangement depending on coordination no. Difference between a Double Salt and a Complex Double salt Complex ion 1. A double salt dissociates completely to give 1.Complex ions do not dissociate into simpler ions in simpler ions in water. water. 2. It loses its identity in solution. 2. It retains its identity in solution. Eg: carnallite (KCl.MgCl2.6H2O), Mohrs salt Eg: [Co(NH3)6]3+, [Fe(CN)6]4 [FeSO4.(NH4)2 SO4.6H2O] Definition of Important Terms in Coordination Compounds Coordination Entity Constitutes a central metal atom/ ion bonded to a fixed number of ligands [ions or molecules].Eg:[Co(NH3)6]3+ Central Atom or Ion The atom or ion to which a fixed number of ligands are attached in a definite geometrical arrangement around it in a coordination entity. Eg: Co3+ in [Co(NH3)6]3+ , Fe3+ in [Fe(CN)6]3 Ligands Ions or molecules bound to the central metal atom or ion in a coordination entity Types of ligands 1. Unidentate. When a ligand is bound to a metal ion through a single donor atom., the ligand is said to be unidentate. Eg: Cl, H2O or NH3 2. Didentate When a ligand is bind to a metal through two donor atoms, the ligand is said to be didentate. Eg: H2NCH2CH2NH2 (ethane-1,2-diamine) or C2O42 (oxalate) 3. Polydentate. When a ligand is bound to a metal ion through a several donor atoms., the ligand is said to be polydentate. Eg: Ethylenediaminetetraacetate ion (EDTA4) is an important hexadentate ligand. It can bind through two nitrogen and four oxygen atoms to a central metal ion. 4. Ambidentate ligand Ligand which can ligate to a metal ion through two different atoms is called ambidentate ligand. Eg: NO2 and SCN ions. NO2 ion can coordinate either through nitrogen or through oxygen to a central metal atom/ion.

*Similarly, SCN ion can coordinate through the sulphur or nitrogen atom. 5. Chelate ligand and chelate complex When a di- or polydendate ligand uses its 2 or more donor atoms to bind a single metal ion so that a 5 or 6 membered ring are formed, it is said to be a chelate ligand. Such complexes are called chelate complexes.

Eg: [Pt Cl2(en)] Dendicity of a ligand The no.of ligating group present in a ligand. Eg: Dendicity of Cl, H2O or NH3 is 1,dendicity of oxalate,en is 2 Coordination Number [CN] Number of ligand-donor atoms bonded directly to the metal. Eg: The CN of Pt and Ni in [PtCl6]2 and [Ni(NH3)4]2+ are 6 and 4 respectively. Coordination Sphere The central atom or ion and the ligands attached to it are enclosed in square brackets, which are collectively known as the coordination sphere.Eg: In K4[Fe(CN)6], the coordination sphere is [Fe(CN)6]4, counter ion-K+. Counter ion The ionisable group present outside the coordination sphere.Eg: In [Co(NH3)6]Cl3, counter ion is Cl Coordination Polyhedron The spatial arrangement of the ligand atoms which are directly attached to the central atom or ion o Example: Octahedral, square planar, tetrahedral

Oxidation Number of Central Atom The charge it would carry if all the ligands are removed along with the electron pairs that are shared with the central atom. Eg: Oxidation number of copper in [Cu(CN)4]3 is 1, Co in [Co(NH3)6]3+ is 3 Homoleptic and Heteroleptic Complexes Homoleptic Complexes in which the metal is bound to only one kind of ligand [donor group]. Eg: [Co(NH3)6]3+ Heteroleptic Complexes in which the metal is bound to more than one kind of ligands [donor groups]. Eg: [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+

Naming of Mononuclear Coordination Compounds The following rules are followed while naming coordination compounds. The cation is named first in both positively and negatively charged coordination entities. The ligands are named in alphabetical order before the name of the central atom/ion. Names of the anionic ligands end in o and those of neutral and cation ligands are the same. [Exceptions: aqua (H2O), ammine (NH3), carbonyl (CO), nitrosyl (NO)] To indicate the number of the individual ligands, the prefixes mono, di, tri, etc., are used. If these prefixes are present in the names of ligands, then the terms bis, tris, tetrakis, etc., are used. For example, [NiCl2(PPh3)2] is named as Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)nickel(II). Oxidation state of the metal is indicated by a Roman numeral in parentheses. If the complex ion is cation, then the metal is named as the element. For example, Fe in a complex cation is called iron and Pt is called platinum. If the complex ion is anion, then the metal is named with ate ending. For example, Co in a complex anion, [Co(SCN)4]2 is called cobaltate. The neutral complex molecule is named as the complex cation. Formulas of Mononuclear Coordination Compounds The following are the rules for writing the formulas. The central atom is listed first. The ligands are then listed in the alphabetical order. Polydentate ligands are also listed in the alphabetical order. In the case of abbreviated ligands, the first letter of the abbreviation is used for determining the position of the ligands in the alphabetical order. The formula of the entire coordination entity is enclosed in square brackets. Ligand abbreviations and formulas for polyatomic ligands are enclosed in parentheses. There should be no space between the ligands and the metal within a coordination sphere. For the charged coordination entity, the charge is indicated outside the square brackets, as a right superscript, with the number before the sign. Example: [Fe(CN)6]3, [Cr(H2O)6]3+, etc. The charge of the cation(s) is balanced by the charge of the anion(s).

Stereoisomers have same chemical formula and chemical bonds, but have different spatial arrangement. Structural isomers have different chemical bonds. Geometric Isomerism This type of isomerism arises in heteroleptic complexes due to different possible geometric arrangements of the ligands. Generally found with compounds having coordination numbers 4 and 6 Square planar complex of formula [MX2L2] (X and L are uni-dentate) exhibits geometrical isomerism cis-isomer and trans-isomer. Cis isomer - 2 identical ligands are adjacent to each other. Tras isomer - 2 identical ligands are opposite to each other. o Example Geometrical isomers of Pt(NH3)2Cl2

Octahedral complex of formula [MX2L4] also exhibits geometrical isomerism. + o Example Geometrical isomers of [Co(NH3)4)Cl2]

Octahedral complex of formula [MX2 (L L)2] exhibits geometrical isomerism, where LL is a bidentate ligand. [e.g., NH2 CH2 CH2 NH2(en)] o Example Geometrical isomers of [CoCl2 (en)2]

Octahedral complexes of type [Ma3b3] exhibit another type of geometrical isomerism facial (fac) isomer and meridional (mer) isomer. Example [Co(NH3)3(NO2)3] o Facial (fac) isomer 3 same ligands occupy adjacent positions at the corners of an octahedral face. o Meridional (mer) isomer When 3 identical ligands are around the meridian of the octahedron

1) Why is geometrical isomerism not possible in tetrahedral complexes having two different types of unidentate ligands coordinated with the central metal ion ? A)Tetrahedral complexes do not show geometrical isomerism because the relative positions of the unidentate ligands attached to the central metal atom are the same with respect to each other. Optical Isomerism Optical isomers are mirror images that cannot be superimposed on one another. These are called as enantiomers The molecules or ions that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image are called chiral. The two forms are called dextro (d) and laevo (l) depending upon the direction they rotate the plane of polarised light in a polarimeter. * Optical isomerism is common in octahedral complexes involving didentate ligands 3+ Example d and l isomer of [Co(en)3]

Only cis isomer shows optical activity. Trans isomer does not show optical isomerism as they form superimposable mirror image(optically inactive-achiral).

Structural isomerism Structural isomers the same chemical formula but they have different bonds. Types of Structural isomerism (i) Linkage isomerism (ii) Coordination isomerism

(iii) Ionisation isomerism (iv) Solvate isomerism Linkage Isomerism Linkage isomerism arises in a coordination compound containing ambidentate ligand(which can ligate through two different atoms) Eg: [Co(NH3)5(NO2)]Cl2 and [Co(NH3)5(ONO)]Cl2 [Co(H2O)5(SCN)]Cl2 and [Co(H2O)5(NCS)]Cl2 Coordination Isomerism This type of isomerism arises from the interchange of ligands between cationic and anionic entities of different metal ions present in a complex. Example Ionisation Isomerism Compounds which give different ions in solution although they have same composition. (or) This type of isomerism arises when the counter ion in the complex salt is itself a potential ligand and can displace a ligand, which can then become the counter ion
o

Example

Solvate Isomerism Compounds with same molecular formula, but differ in no. of solvent molecules inside and outside the coordination sphere. (or) Solvate isomers differ by whether or not a solvent molecule is directly bonded to the metal ion or merely present as free solvent molecules in the crystal lattice. Example (violet) and (grey green Known as hydrate isomerism when water is involved as a solvent

These hybridised orbitals are allowed to overlap with ligand orbitals that can donate electron pairs for bonding.

Magnetic Properties of Coordination Compounds Complexes with unpaired electron(s) in the orbitals are paramagnetic. Complexes with no unpaired electron(s) in the orbitals (i.e., all paired electrons) are diamagnetic. Limitations of Valence Bond Theory (i) It involves a number of assumptions. (ii) It does not give quantitative interpretation of magnetic data. (iii) It does not explain the colour exhibited by coordination compounds. (iv) It does not give a quantitative interpretation of the thermodynamic or kinetic stabilities of coordination compounds. (v) It does not make exact predictions regarding the tetrahedral and square planar structures of 4-coordinate complexes. (vi) It does not distinguish between weak and strong ligands. Crystal-Field Theory An electrostatic model which considers the metalligand bond to be ionic, which arises from the electrostatic interaction between the metal ion and the ligand Ligands are treated as point charges in the case of anions, or dipoles in the case of neutral molecules. The five d-orbitals in an isolated gaseous metal atom/ion are degenerate (i.e., have the same energy). Due to the negative fields of the ligands (either anions or the negative ends of dipolar molecules), the degeneracy of the d-orbitals is lifted, resulting in the splitting of the d-orbitals to give 2 sets of orbitals- t2g and eg. Crystal-Field Splitting in Octahedral Coordination Entities Crystal-Field Splitting: Crystal-field splitting is the splitting of the degenerate d orbitals into t2g and eg due to the presence of ligands.

Crystal field splitting energy o: Energy separation between t2g and eg orbitals The splitting of d-orbitals in an octahedral crystal-field is shown in the given figure.

The energy separation is denoted by o (the subscript o is for octahedral) Spectrochemical series The arrangement of ligands in the order of increasing field strength is called spectrochemical series. Ligands are arranged in a series in the increasing order of the field strength as follows:

Strong field and weak field ligands Ligands for which o (crystal-field splitting) < P (pairing energy), are called weak-field ligands, and form high-spin complexes. d4 t2g3 eg1 Ligands for which o (crystal-field splitting) > P (pairing energy), are called strong-field ligands, and form low-spin complexes. d4 t2g4 eg0

Q. How does o decides the d orbital configuration? 4 3 1 Weak ligands for which o < P form high-spin complexes. d t2g eg 4 4 0 Strong ligands for which o > P, form low-spin complexes. d t2g eg Crystal-Field Splitting in Tetrahedral Coordination Entities The splitting of d-orbitals in a tetrahedral crystal field is shown in the given figure.

t = (4/9) o Colour in Coordination Compounds The colour of the coordination compounds is attributed to dd transition of electrons. o For example, the complex [Ti(H2O)6]3+ is violet in colour, which is due to dd transition

The energy of yellow-green region is absorbed by the complex, and then, the electron gets excited from t2g level to the eg level, i.e.,

In the absence of ligand, crystal field splitting does not occur and hence the substance is colourless. For example, removal of water from [Ti(H2O)6]Cl3 on heating renders it colourless. Similarly, anhydrous CuSO4 is white, but CuSO4.5H2O is blue in colour.

Metal Carbonyls The homoleptic carbonyls (compounds containing carbonyl ligands only) are formed by most of the transition metals. Eg Ni(CO)4 , Fe(CO)5 , Cr(CO)6 , [Mn (CO)10 ], [Co2 (CO)8 ]

Bonding in metal carbonyls In metal carbonyls, the metalcarbon bonds have both and characters. A bond is formed when the carbonyl carbon donates a lone pair of electrons to the vacant d orbital of the metal. A bond is formed by the donation of electron pair from the filled metal d- orbital to the vacant antibonding * orbital (also known as back bonding of the carbonyl group). Thus, a synergic effect is created due to this metal-to-ligand bonding. This synergic effect strengthens the bond between CO and the metal.

Stability of Coordination Compounds The stability of a complex in a solution refers to the degree of association between the two species involved in the state of equilibrium. Stability can be expressed quantitatively in terms of stability constant or formation constant.

The greater the value of the stability constant, the greater is the stability of the complex. Free metal ions are usually surrounded by solvent molecules in solution, which will compete with the ligands molecules (L) and be successively replaced by them as follows:

Where, K1, K2, = Stepwise stability constants

Alternatively, M +4L ML4 4 = [ML4]/[M][L]4 Where, 1, 2, . = Overall stability constant The stepwise and overall stability constants are therefore related as follows:

or more generally, The reciprocal of the formation constant is called instability constant or dissociation constant. Q. Calculate the overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant for the Cu(NH3)42+ion, given that 4 for this complex is 2.1 1013 . The overall dissociation constant is the reciprocal of overall stability constant i.e. 1/ 4 = 4.7 1014 Applications of Coordination Compounds Analytical chemistry o In many qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses: Colour reactions are given by metal ions with a number of ligands (especially chelating ligands), which help in detection and estimation. o Hardness of water can be estimated by simple titration with Na2EDTA, which forms stable complexes with Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. Metallurgy o Some important extraction processes of metals such as gold and silver make use of complex formation. . Gold, for example, combines with cyanide in the presence of oxygen and water to form the coordination entity [Au(CN)2] in aqueous solution. Gold can be separated in metallic form from this solution by the addition of zinc . o Similarly, purification of metals can be achieved through formation and subsequent decomposition of their coordination compounds. For example, impure nickel is converted to [Ni(CO)4], which is decomposed to yield pure nickel. Medicinal chemistry o Chelate therapy is used in medicinal chemistry. For example, EDTA is used in the treatment of lead poisoning. Cis-platin inhibit the growth of tumours. o Excess metal ions in plant and animal system can be removed by chelating ligands by forming complex. Biological system o Coordination compounds are of great importance in biological systems. For example, chlorophyll is a coordination compound of magnesium, haemoglobin is a coordination compound of iron and vitamin B12 is a coordination compound of cobalt.

Coordination compounds are used as catalysts. For example, Wilkinson catalyst, [(Ph3P)3RhCl], is used for the hydrogenation of alkenes Articles can be electroplated with silver and gold much more smoothly and evenly from solutions of the complexes, [Ag(CN)2] and [Au(CN)2] than from a solution of simple metal ions. In black and white photography, the developed film is fixed by washing with hypo solution which dissolves the undecomposed AgBr to form a complex ion, [Ag(S2O3)2]3 .

9.5 Explain on the basis of valence bond theory that [Ni(CN) 4]2 ion with square planar structure is diamagnetic and the [NiCl4]2 ion with tetrahedral geometry is paramagnetic. 9.6 [NiCl4]2 is paramagnetic while [Ni(CO)4] is diamagnetic though both are tetrahedral.
