6. Metal Coordination ComplexesCoordination complexes or coordination compounds- consists of a central atom, which is usually metallic, and a surrounding array of bound molecules or ions, that are in turn known as ligands or complexing agents.Stable in light and air.Accidentally discovered while trying to make a red dye (1705).Prussian blueIron-hexacyanoferrate First synthetic blue dye.Known for centuries.6

8. Metal Coordination ComplexesLigands are ions or neutral molecules that bond to a central metal atom or ion.Denticity refers to the number of donor groups in a single ligand that bind to a central atom in a coordination complex. Ligand biting the metal. M = transition metalL = ligandMonodentate (one tooth)Bidentate (two teeth)Polydentate (many teeth)8

EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetateLigands that bind to more than one site are called chelating agents.M = Mn(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Pb (II) and Co(III)Added to foods to prevent catalytic oxidationIn cleaning solutions (reduce water hardness)Chelation therapy for Hg and Pb poisoningAnalytical titrations12
13. Coordination Complex IsomersThe same connectivities but different spatial arrangements.Different connectivities (same formula).13
14. Coordination IsomersSame formula different bonding to the metal.[Cr(NH3)5SO4]Br and [Cr(NH3)5Br]SO4 Co + (NH3)5 + Cl + Br[Co(NH3)6]3+ and [Cr(CN)6]3-) [Cr(NH3)6]3+and [Co(CN)6]3-Cr + (NH3)5 + SO4 + BrCo + Cr + (NH3)6 + (CN)614
15. Linkage IsomersComposition of the complex is the same, but the point of attachment of the ligands differs.Formula NameNO2- nitrito (via O)NO2- nitro (via N)15
16. Linkage IsomersThe compounds have different properties and colors.Linear vs. bent nitrosylN or S bond thiocyanateM-NCS M-SCN16
17. Geometric IsomersIn geometric isomers, the ligands have different spatial arrangements about the metal ion.Square planar complexes like [MX2Y2].Example: [Pt(NH3)2Cl2].Octahedral complexes like [MX4Y2].Example: [Pt(NH3)4Cl2].17
18. Geometric IsomersOctahedral complexes with the formula [MX3Y3] can be fac (facial) or mer (meridional).In geometric isomers, the ligands have different spatial arrangements about the metal ion.18
19. Optical IsomersOptical isomers are compounds with non-superimposable mirror images (chiral molecules).C1, Cn, and Dn also T, O, and IChiral molecules lack an improper axis of rotation (Sn), a center of symmetry (i) or a mirror plane (σ)!Common for octahedral complexes with three bidentate ligands. 19
20. Optical IsomersCan be viewed like a propeller with three blades.20

23. Organic Bonding1857- Kekule proposes the correct structure of benzene. 1856- Couper proposed that atoms joined to each other like modern-day Tinkertoys. Oxalic acidEthanol23
24. Inorganic ComplexesLate 1800s- Blomstrand and JorgensonCo3+, 4 x NH3, 3 x ClTheir rulesCharge on the metal ion determined the number of bonds- Co3+ = 3 bondsSimilar bonding concepts to organicsNH3 can form chains like -CH2-Only Cl- attached to an NH3 could dissociateDid not explain isomers.24
25. Inorganic Complexes1893- Werner’s TheoryCo3+, 6 x NH3, 3 x ClHis rulesMetals interact with 6 ligands in octahedral geometry to form “complex ions”Primary/inner coordination sphere: bound to metalSecondary/outer coordination sphere: balance chargeBlomstrand StructureWerner Structure25
26. Werner’s TheoryExplains multiple complexes of the same sets of ligands in different numbers[Co(NH3)6]Cl3 [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl [Co(NH3)3Cl3]Different numbers of ions are produced due to outer sphere dissociationExplains multiple complexes with exact same formula = isomersWerner Complexes26
27. Werner’s Other ContributionsWerner ComplexesCoordination Number = Most first row transition elements prefer 6 ligands. Pt2+ prefers 4 ligands.CoA4B2 only has two isomers. Not trigonal prismatic because trigonal antiprimatic because they would give 3 isomers. Octahedral because it only has two possible isomers. PtA2B2 only has two isomers so it must be square planar. Tetrahedral would have only 1 isomer.Water completes the Inner Sphere coordination in aqueous solutions: NiCl2 + H2O [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2 27
28. Werner’s Other ContributionsWerner ComplexesIn 1914, Werner resolved hexol, into optical isomers, overthrowing the theory that only carbon compounds could possess chirality.28
29. Werner ComplexesWerner was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 (only inorg. up until 1973)29
30. Coordination ComplexesShortcomings of Werner’s TheoryDoes not explain the nature of bonding withing the coordination sphere.Does not account for the preference between 4- and 6- coordination. Does not account for square planar vs tetrahedral.Crystal Field TheoryLigand Field Theory30
31. Crystal Field TheoryElectrostatic approach to bonding.First Applied to ionic crystalline substances.Assumptions:Metal ion at the center.Ligands are treated as point charges.Bonding occurs through M+ and L- electrostatic attraction. Bonding is purely ionic.M and L electrons repel each other.d orbital degeneracy is broken as ligands approach. 31

37. Crystal Field TheoryMerits of crystal field theory:Can be used to predict the most favorable geometry for the complex.Can account for why some complexes are tetrahedral and others square planar.Usefull in interpreting magnetic properties.The colors of many transition metal complexes can be rationalized.Limitations of crystal field theory:Becomes less accurate as delocalization increases (more covalent character).Point charge does not accurately represent complexes. Does not account for pi bonding interactions.Does not account for the relative strengths of the ligands.37
38. Ligand Field TheoryApplication of molecular orbital theory to transition metal complexes.Ligands are not point charges.Takes into account p bonding. Can be used to explain spectrochemical series. Better than valence-bond model or crystal field theory at explaining experimental data.38
