This is just a summary to help you and is not meant to replace textbooks. Please consult textbooks for a more comprehensive overview of the topics. Please inform Dr EL Viljoen of any correction is required. Two suggested books to read: Cotton, F.A., Wilkinson, G. & Gaus, P.L. (1987). Basic inorganic chemistry. Second edition. 157-171. Housecroft, C.E. & Sharpe, A.G. (2012) Inorganic Chemistry. Fourth edition. p654-656. McMurry J.E. & Fay, R.C. (2012) Chemistry , six edition. 817-832. Structure of coordination complexes Info from Mc Murry and Fay, 2012 A metal complex is a compound in which the central metal ion or atom (yellow sphere, vanadium ion, in middle in diagram below) is attached to a group of surrounding molecules or ions by coordinate covalent bonds. An metal complex is indicated with square brackets, for example [Rh(NH3)5Cl]2-. The molecules or ions (e.g. oxalate, the red, grey and white spheres in the diagram below) that surround and bond to the central metal ion or atom are called the ligands. The word ligand is from the Latin word ligare which means to bind. The ligands coordinate to the metal. Coordination compounds are compounds that contain metal complexes. An example of such an coordination compound is [Rh(NH3)5Cl](NO3)2. The central metal and the ligands bound to it are called the coordination sphere of the complex. The atoms (the red spheres that represent oxygen) that are directly attached to the metal are called ligand donor atoms. The ligands act as Lewis basis forming coordinate covalent bonds with the central metal atom or ion. The metal centre is the acceptor atom (the yellow sphere in the middle). The central metal or ion acts as a Lewis acid. The number of ligand donor atoms (there is 5 red spheres) around one metal ion/atom (yellow sphere) is the coordination number. There are three ligands in the example below but the coordination number is 5 since two of the oxalate ligands are bidentate (ligand bonding with two donor atoms). The coordination number is thus 2+2+1 = 5. 1 The coordination number of the complex below is 5 and the geometry is square pyramidal. Metal complexes have different coordination geometry (characteristic shapes) which depend on their coordination number. Common coordination geometries are shown below. 7 2 3 4 6 5 2 https://organometallicchem.wordpress.com/2012/01/10/gee-im-a-tree-predicting-the-geometry-oforganometallic-complexes http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/Inorganic_Chemistry/Organometallic_Chemistry/Structural_Fundamen tals/Predicting_the_Geometry_of_Organometallic_Complexes Examples of different coordination numbers Housecroft and Sharpe, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_geometry Cotton et al., 1987 The pink spheres are the metal centres and the white spheres are the ligands Coordination number two Linear This coordination is typical for cations that have an oxidation state of one like Cu, Ag and Au. The coordination geometry is linear. Examples are [H3N-Ag-NH3]+, [NC-Ag-CN]- and [Cl-Au-Cl]-. 3 Coordination number three The most common coordination geometries are trigonal plane and the trigonal pyramid. Examples are for the trigonal planar are HgI3- and [Cu(CN)3]2- and for the trigonal pyramidal is SnCl3-. Trigonal planar Trigonal pyramidal Coordination number four The most common coordination geometries are either tetrahedral or square-planar. Examples of tetrahedral complexes are Li(H2O)4+, BeF42-, CoBr42- and Ni(CO)4. Tetrahedral geometry is preferred for valence electron configurations d0 and d10. Square planar is preferred for d8 metal ions and is common for complexes of ions Ni2+, Pd2+, Pt2+, Rh+, Ir+ and Au3+. An example for square planar coordination geometry is [PtCl2(NH3)2] . Tetrahedral Square-planar Tetracarbonylnickel trans - PtCl2(NH3)2 4 Coordination number five The most common coordination geometries are the trigonal bipyramid and the square pyramid. Many five coordinate complexes do not have either structure but a mixture since there is little difference in energies between the two coordination geometries. For example [Ni(CN)5]3- for a crystalline salt in which both geometries are present. Square pyramid Trigonal bipyramid Coordination number six In the octrahedron all six the M-L bonds are equivalent (of the same length). An example is [TiF6]2-, [Cr(bipy)3]3+ and [Co(H2O)6]2+ . This is typical when all the ligands are of the same type. When different kinds of ligands are present distortion takes place and all the M-L bonds are not of the same length any more. 5 Octahedral distortions (Cotton et al., 1987) When different kinds of ligands are present distortion takes place and all the M-L bonds are not of the same length any more. In some cases where all the ligands are chemically the same, octahedron is also distorted due to inherent electronic effects in the metal or by forces in the surroundings. A compression or elongation in one of the L-M-L axis relative to the other two is named tetragonal distortion (a≠b 3 a-lengths are the same and three b-lengths are the same). When L-M bonds differs the coordination geometry is named a rhomic structure (a≠b≠c) 6 If the octahedron is compressed or elongated on an axis connecting the centres of the two opposite triangular faces the coordination geometry is named trigonal. The trigonal prism coordination geometry is only rarely found. Examples are hexamethyl complexes with d0 configuration, such as hexamethyltungsten and [Zr(CH3)6]2-. [Zr(CH3)6]2- 7 TYPES OF LIGANDS (Cotton et al., 1987) Monodentate and polydentate ligands Monodentate ligands donate one electron pair. Examples of monodentate ligands are Cl-, CN-, NH3 and H2O. Polydentate ligands also called multidentate are ligands that contain two or more atoms that simultaneously form a two-electron donor bond to the same metal ion. Polidentate ligands are also called chelating agents. A complex that contains polydentate ligands, a chelated complex is thermodynamically more stable that a complex than has similar monodentate ligands. The increased thermodynamically stability as a result of chelating agents are called the chelate effect. Polydentate ligands can further be classified according to the number of two electron donor bond made to the same metal ion. Bidentate ligands have two possible points of attachment to the metal ion. A bidentate ligand has therefore two donor atoms. 4 membered ring: carboxylate; nitrate; dithiocarbate; sulphate 5 membered ring: Ethylenediamine, en H2NCH2CH2NH2 8 5 membered ring: Oxalate, C2O42- 6 membered ring: Bipyridyl, bipy 6 membered ring: Acetylacetonate, acac Tridentate ligands have three possible points of attachment to the metal ion. A tridentate ligand therefore has three donor atoms. In the case of the diethylene triamine (dien) the three nitrogen atoms are the donor atoms, since each of them can donate a electron pair to the metal atom/ion center. Diethylene triamine, dien 9 Tetradentate ligands have four possible points of attachment to the metal ion. Porphyrin Hexadentate ligands have six possible points of attachment to the metal ion. Ethelenediaminetretaacetate ion, EDTA4-. 10 The table below shows some examples ligands with different denticities. The donor atoms are shown in pink. Info from Housecroft and Sharpe, 2012 11 Ambidentate ligand An ambidentate ligand is a ligand that can bond in two ways. Examples: In thiocyanate, SCN-, either (not both simultaneously to the same metal ion) the S or the N can be the ligand donor atom. The name depends on which atoms is the donor atom. When S is the donor atom the ligand name is thiocyanato and when the N is the donor atom the ligand name is isothiocyanato. In nitrogen dioxide, nitrite, NO2-, either (not at the same time to the same metal ion) the N or the O can be the ligand donor atom. In the case where the N is the donor atom the name of the ligand is nitro and where the O is the donor atom the ligand name is nitrito. In cyanide, CN- either the C or the N can be the ligand donor atom. When the carbon is the ligand donor atom the name is cyano and when the N is the donor atom the name is isocyano. Bridging ligands A bridging ligand is a ligand that is bonded to two metals ions at the same time.

(2012) Chemistry , six edition. 817-832 Determining the oxidation number of transition metals in a complex. • Alkali metal atoms ions (group 1) have an oxidation number of +1 and alkali earth metals ions (group 2) have an oxidation number of +2. • The oxidation number of oxygen is usually -2 unless it is part of a peroxide component when oxygen has an oxidation number of -1. • The oxidation number for hydrogen is +1 when bonded to non-metals and -1 when bonded to metals. • The oxidation number of halogens (group 7) are -1 when bonded to another element. • The charge of the ligand is used as its oxidation state as a unit. See table 3 for charges. • The sum of the oxidation numbers of all times in a neutral compound is zero. The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a polyatomic ion equals the charge of the ion. Examples: X + 4(0) = +2 Oxidation number of Cu: [Cu(NH3)4]2+ The oxidation number of copper in the complex is thus +2. Oxidation number of Rh: [Rh(NH3)5Cl](NO3)2 The oxidation number for rhodium, Rh, is thus +3. X+ 5(0) + (-1) + 2(-1) = 0 Oxidation number of Co: [Co(NH3)6]3+ The oxidation number for cobalt is thus +3. X+6(0) = +3 Oxidation number of Ni: [Ni(H2O)6]2+ The oxidation number for nickel is thus +2. X + (6(0) = +2 Oxidation number of Co: [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 The oxidation number for cobalt is thus +3. Oxidation number of Mo: Na2[MoOCl4] The oxidation number for molybdenum is thus +4. Oxidation number of Fe: [Fe(CO)4Cl2] The oxidation number for iron is thus +2. X = +2 X + 5(0) + (-1) + 2(-1) = 0 2(1) + X + (-2) + 4(-1) = 0 X + 4(0) + 2(-1) = 0 13 NAMING OF COMPLEXES Cotton et al., 1987 McMurry J.E. & Fay, R.C. (2012) Chemistry , six edition. 817-832. IUPAC rules: • If the compound is a salt, name the cation (+) first and then the anion (-). For example K4[Fe(CN)6] is named as potassiumhexacyanoferrate(II). • If the complex is an ion or neutral, name the ligands first and then the metal. For example Fe(CN)64- is named hexacyanoferrate(II) ion. • If the complex is an anion (negatively charged), the metal name ends with ate and the Latin form is used. Please consult table 1 below for examples. Table 1: Metallate names Metal Anion name aluminium aluminate chromium chromate cobalt cobaltate copper cuprate gold aurate lead plumbate molybdenum molybdate • • • • Anion name ferrate manganite nickelate platinate zincate argentate tungstate Roman numerals in parentheses are used to indicate the oxidation state of the metal. It is placed after the metal name. If a complex contain more than one ligand the prefixes are used as shown in the table below. If the name of the ligand itself contains a prefix for example ethylenediamine, put the ligand name in parentheses (brackets) and use the alternative prefix which is shown in the brackets in the table below. Table 2: Prefix names number of ligand prefix (alternative) 1 2 3 4 5 6 Metal iron manganese nickel platinum zinc silver tungsten (W) ---di(bis) tri(tris) tetra (tetrakis) penta (pentakis) hexa (hexakis) number of ligand 7 8 9 10 11 12 prefix hepta octa nona (ennea) deca undeca dodeca Ligands are usually listed alphabetic order ignoring the prefixes that designate the number of each type of ligand. See table 3 for commonly used ligand names. Indicate isomers with an italic prefix followed by a hyphen. For example cis-, trans-, fac-, mer-. The abbreviations fac-, mer- stands for factial and meridional respectively and are used in the naming of octrahedral complexes. 14 • Indicate bridging ligands by the prefix µ. If there is more than one bridging component of the same type then the prefix µ is combined with prefix names from table 2. For example if there are two bridging components of the same type then the prefix will be di-µ. Table 3: Ligand names Anionic bromide, Brfloride, Fchloride, Clhydride, Hhydroxide, OHacetate, CH3CO2carbonate, CO32oxide, O2peroxide, O22oxalate, C2O42sulfate, SO42nitrite NO21nitrite ONO cyanide, CNcyanide, NCthiocyanate, SCNthiocyanate, NCS- Ligand name bromo fluoro chloro hydrido hydroxo acetato carbonato oxo peroxo oxalato sulfato nitro nitrito cyano isocyanto thiocyanato isothiocyanato Neutral ammonia, NH3 water, H2O carbon monoxide, CO nitrogen oxide, NO ethylenediamine, en pyridine, C5H4N (C6H5)3P (C2H5)3P Ligand name ammine aqua carbonyl nitrosyl ethylenediamine pyridine triphenylphosphine trietthylphosphine Anions with names ending in ate have ligand names ending in ato for example SO42- which anion name is sulfate will have the ligand name sulfato. Anions with names ending in ide have ligand names ending in o for example Cl- which anion name is chloride will have the ligand name choro. Examples: K3[Fe(CN)6] Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) (ferrate because metal complex is an anion) Diamminedichloroplatinum(II) Pt(NH3)2Cl2 (platinum because metal complex is not an anion) Tetraaquadichlorochromium(III) chloride [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl (Chloro for ligand and chloride for anion) [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride [Fe(C2O4)3]3- Trioxalatoferrate(III) ion [Co (en)2 (H2O)Cl] Cl2 Aquachlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride [NH3)5Co-NH2-Co(NH3)4(H2O)]Cl5 Pentraamminecobalt(III)-µ-amidotetraammineaquacobalt(III)chloride 15 mer-Tris(trietthylphosphine)trihydridoruthenium(III) mer-[Ru{(C2H5)3P}3H3 (curly brackets are sometimes used to avoid confusion) ISOMERISM Info from McMurry and Fay, 2012 p824-829 and Housecroft and Sharpe, 2012, p654-661 Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but with different arrangements of the atoms. These different arrangements of atoms leads to different properties like for example different colours, solubility, melting points and chemical reactivity. There are two main groups of isomerism which are structural isomerism and stereoisomerism. Structural isomerisation (also called constitutional isomers): Compound with different metal-ligand connections. It means that the donor atoms are different. Structural isomerism group can be further subdivided into ionisation isomers, hydrate isomers, coordination isomers and linkage isomers. It means that all the donor atoms are the same. Stereoisomerism: Stereoisomers has different special arrangements and with the same metalligand connections. Stereoisomerism can be further subdivided into diastereoisomers and enantiomers. 16 Isomers Compounds with same formula but different arragement of atoms Stereoisomers Structural isomers Compounds with same connections but different spacial arrangements of atoms Compounds with different connections between atoms Linkage isomers Isomers with different metal-ligand bonds Coordination isomers one metal complex is the cation and the other metal is the anion. Ligands swopped around between metal centres. Hydrate isomers Ionisation isomers Isomers that yield different ions in solution placement of the water molecules differs in isomers Diastereoisomers Geometrical isomers Non-mirror-image isomers Enantiomers Optical isomers Mirror-image isomers 17 Structural isomerisation (also called constitutional isomers) Compound with different metal-ligand connections. Ionisation isomers Ionisation isomers are isomers of a complex that differ in the anion that is coordinated to the metal atom. The square brackets are used to differentiate between ligands and anions. Ligands are placed inside the square brackets and anions are placed outside the square brackets. [Co(NH3)5(SO4)]Br Red colour, SO42- is a ligand and Br- is the anion in the salt Donor atoms: N and O [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 Violet colour, Br- is a ligand and SO42- is the anion in the salt Donor atoms: N and Br Take note that these two components have exactly the same molecular formula yet their colours are very different. Different arrangement of atoms can thus lead to components having different properties. The donor atoms of these two complexes are different and therefore they are called structural isomers. Think of what will happen when these isomers are placed in a solution. They will give different ions. Because the give different ions in solution, they are called ionisation isomers. [Co(NH3)5(SO4)]Br will give the following ions: [Co(NH3)5(SO4)]+ and Br[Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 will give [Co(NH3)5Br]2+ and SO42- Hydrate isomers In hydrate isomers the placement of the water molecules differs. The water can either be a ligand, thus coordinated to the metal or a crystal water which is not directly attached to the metal. [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 violet colour Donor atoms: six oxygens [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2•H2O light green colour Donor atoms: five oxygens and one Cl [Cr(H2O)4 Cl2]Cl•2H2O dark green colour Donor atoms: four oxygens and two Cl The donor atoms of these three complexes are different and therefore they are called structural isomers. The water can either be a ligand or it can be a crystal water and therefore these isomers are called hydrate isomers. 18 Coordination isomers This type of isomer is typically present when there are two metal ions present. The one metal is part on a complex to form the cation and the other metal is part of a complex forming the anion. The two metal ions can be the same type of they can be different. [Cu(NH3)4][PtCl4] Cu complex is the cation and the Pt complex is the anion. The NH3 ligands are bonded to the Cu ion. The Cl- ligands are bonded to the Pt ion Donor atoms for Cu: four N Donor atoms for Pt: four Cl [Pt(NH3)4][CuCl4] Pt complex is the cation and the Cu complex is the anion. The NH3 ligands are bonded to the Pt ion. The Cl- ligands are bonded to the Cu ion. Donor atoms for Pt: four N Donor atoms for Cu: four Cl The donor atoms of these isomers are different and therefore they are called structural isomers. The ligands are coordinated to different metal ion centres and therefore they are called coordination isomers. 19 Linkage isomers Linkage isomers are isomers were the ligand can bond in different ways to the metal ion. The ligands can use different donor atoms to link to the metal centre. The ligands are ambidentate ligands. Please see above a description of ambidentate ligands and how they are named. Donor atoms for the left hand side complex (nitrito isomer) are: five nitrogens and one oxygen Donor atoms for the right hand side complex (nitro isomer) are: six nitrogens and no oxygen The donor atoms of these isomers are different and therefore they are called structural isomers. Since the ligands are linked differently to the metal ion center, they are called linkage isomers Stereoisomerism Stereoisomers has different special arrangements and with the same metal-ligand connections. Diasterioisomers (also called geometrical isomers) Geometrical isomers are non-mirror-image stereoisomers. Tetrahedral complex has no geometric isomers. If the tretrahedral complex below is rotated by 90°, it is clear that the two structures are identical. Square planar complexes and octahedral complexes and have geometric isomers/ diasterioisomers. A square planar complex Pt(NH3)2Cl2, in the cis isomer the two Pt-Cl bonds will be next to each other 20 orientated at a 90° angle and in the trans isomer the two Pt-Cl bonds will be opposite each other at a 180° angle. In Latin the word cis means next to and trans means across. Cis-trans isomers is possible for complexes of the type MA2B4 where the A ligands can either be next to each other (cis) or opposite each other (trans). Meridional (mer) and facial (fac) isomers are possible for complexes of the type MA3B3. In the facial isomer, ligands of one type form an equilateral triangle on one of the octahedron faces. Cis-trans isomers and mer-fac isomers are examples of geometric isomers also called diasterioisomers. In the examples below, the donor atoms of these isomers are the same and therefore they are called stereoisomers isomers. 21 (Housecroft and Sharpe) 22 Enantiomers (also called optical isomers) Enantiomers are nonsuperimposable (cannot be placed on top of each other) mirror image of each other. Enatiomers are also called chiral components. They are like one’s left and right feet, which are mirror images from each other but they are nonsuperimposable therefore you need a left foot shoe and a right foot shoe. The same is true for ones hands, eyes and ears. Enantiomers have identical physical properties like identical melting points, solubilities and colours. Enantiomers are only different how they interact with plane polarised light. 23 A complex whose solution rotates the plane of polarised light to the right is named dextrorotary and a prefix d- is used for this complex. A complex whose solution rotates the plane of the polarised light to the left is named levorotary and a prefix l- is used for this complex. In the examples below, the donor atoms of these isomers are the same and therefore they are called stereoisomers isomers. An equal mixture of enantiomers is called a racemic mixture. Such a mixture has no effect on polarised light. Sources consulted Brown, T.L. LeMay, H.E., Bursten, B.E., Murphy, C.J., Landford, S.J. & Sagatys, D. Chmistry.
