Ch. 4. AQUEOUS COMPLEXES 4-1. A Few Definitions Aqueous complexes Ligands Ions or molecules binding to a central metal to form a complex (by donating electron pair) Addend Association of dissolved (c,a)ions or molecules Pieces of complexes (either cations or anions) Monodendate (Cl-), bidendate (CO32-), polydendate Chelates P. 91, Table 3.2 Description: Chemical structure of EDTA chelate (from wikipedia.org) 4-2. Significance of Complexes Speciation of metals Adsorption Toxicity Solubility 4-3. Outer vs. Inner Sphere Complexes Hydration (shell) Outer sphere complex (ion pair): ex) CaSO4 Inner sphere coplex: ex) AgS Weak, electrostatic (depending on charges) Strong, covalency Most complexes are in between 4-4. Geometry of Common Inorganic Ligands All depends on the radius ratio (p.89) Plan triangular triangle (NO3-, CO3-, BO3-) Regular trigonal low pyramidal (PO33-, AsO33- ) Regular tetrahedron (PO43-, SO42-, CrO43- ) Distorted tetrahedron (MoO42-) Spherical (halogens) Dumbel shape (UO22- ) See page 89 & 90 tables 4-5. Complexation Mass Balance & Equilibria Extent of complex formation (average ligand number) Stepwise formation constant P. 90, eqn (3.17) P. 92, eqn (3.18) Cumulative formation constant P.92, eqn (3.21) 4-6. Hydrolysis of Cations in Water and Ionic Potential Hydrolysis? Ionic potential? How these two factors affect the behavior of the dissolved ions in water? See p.98, Fig. 3.4; p.99, Table 3.3.; p.100, Fig. 3.5 4-7. Electronegativities & the Stability of Inner-Sphere Complexes What is EN? (p.101, Tanle 3.4) How does EN controls bonding character ? Conseq., the stabilities of complexes? (p.102, Fig. 3.6) 4-8. Schwarzenbach’s & Pearson’s Classification of Acids & Bases (forming Complexes) Schwarzenbach’s classes A, B, & C Pearson’s hard & soft A: Those of noble gas configuration (p.103, bottom table) B: Those of Nio, Pdo, Pto electron config. C: Transient metals Hard: Rigid & nondeformable elctron cloud, tend to form ionic bonding Soft: Deformable & polarizable electron cloud, tend to form (more) covalent bonding See p.104, Table 3.5; p.105, Fig. 3.7; p.106, Fig. 3.8; p.108, Fig. 3.9. 4-9. Thermodynamics of Complexation DGo = -RT ln Kassoc DGo = DGo - TDSo Mostly due to entropy change DSo = DSonet charge + DSotr + DSorot + DSovibr + DSodehyd DSodehyd is probably contributing most 4-10. Distribution of Complex Species as a Function of pH Write down the association reactions Express Kassoc in terms of species Convert them into a function of pH See p.113, Fig. 3.12
