COORDINATION COMPUND CLASS XII CHEMISTRY STUDY MATERIAL

L –9
COORDINATION COMPOUNDS
BASIC CONCEPTS:
1.DEFINITION  : Coordination compounds
Coordination compounds are compounds in which a central metal atom or ion is linked to a number of ions or neutral molecules by coordinate bonds/donation of 1 or more electron pairs . Examples- K4[Fe(CN)6]; [ Cu(NH3)4]SO4; Ni(CO)4
2. HISTORY :   First studied by Alfred  2Werner Who proposed his “ theory of coordination compounds”.Accordingly
i) In coordination compounds metals show two types of linkages or valencies- Primary and Secondary.
ii) The primary--- ionisable and  satisfied by negative ions.
iii) The secondary valencies - non- ionisable satisfied by neutral molecules or negative ions. It is equal to the C.N and is fixed for a metal. The ions or groups bonde by secondary linkages to the metal have characteristic spatial arrangements corresponding to different coordination nos.

3.Difference between a double salt and a complex  
COMPLEXES: They do not dissociate in to simple Ions when dissolved in water Example: K4[Fe(CN)6] contains a central metal atom or ion surrounded by number of oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules-(Ligands).
DOUBLE SALTS: They  dissociate into simple ions completely when dissolved in water. Ex.- Karnelite KCl.MgCl2.6H2O, Mohr‘s salt, FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O, potash alum, K2SO4Al2(SO4)3.24H2O, etc. dissociate into simple ions completely when dissolved in water.
4. IMPORTANT TERMS
(I )Coordination entity: It constitutes the central metal ion or atom bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules represented within a square bracket. [Fe(CN)6]-
(ii) Central M atom/ ion: In a coordination entity, the atom/ion to which a fixed number of ions/groups are bound in a definite geometrical arrangement is called the central atom or ion.
iii) Ligands: The neutral molecules or negative ions bound to the central metal or ion in the coordination entity. These donate a pair /s of electrons to the central metal atom /ion.Ex- NH3, CN-
5. LIGANDS MAY BE CLASSIFIED AS-
a) Monodentate /Unidentate: Ligands bound to the central metal atom/ion through a single donor atom. Ex- Cl- ; H2O ; NH3 ; NO2-.
b) Didentate/Bidentate: The Ligands which bind to the central metal atom/ion through two donor atoms. Ex- C2 O4 2- (ox); H2NCH2CH2NH2(en)
c) Polydentate: The Ligands which bind to the central metal atom/ion through two or more donor atoms present in a single ligand. Ex- (EDTA)4-
d) Chelating ligands: Di- or polydentate ligands that uses two or more donor atoms to bind to a single metal ion to form ring- like complexes. (Ox); (EDTA)
e) Ambidentate ligand: A ligand that can ligate through two different atoms, one at a time. Ex-CN-,NO2- ; SCN-
v) Coordination number: The no. of ligand/ donor atoms to which the metal is directly bonded through sigma bonds only.  Commonly 4 or 6.
vi) Counter ions: The ionisable groups written outside the square bracket. Ex- K+ in
K4[Fe(CN)6]  OR  Cl- in [Co(NH3)6]Cl3
6. COORDINATION POLYHEDRON: The spatial arrangement of the ligand atoms which are directly attached to the central metal atom/ion. They are commonly Octahedral, Square-planar or Tetrahedral
7.OXIDATION NUMBER: The charge that the central atom would carry if all the ligands are
removed along with their pairs of electrons shared with the central atom. It is represented in parenthesis.
8.  HOMOLEPTIC COMPLEXES: Complexes in which a metal is bonded to only one kind of donor groups. Ex- [Co(NH3)6] 3+
9. HETEROLEPTIC COMPLEXES: Complexes in which a metal is bonded to more thanone kind of donor groups. Ex- [Co(NH3)4 Cl2]+
10. NOMENCLATURE OF COORDINATION COMPOUNDS
Rules –
        i.            The cation is named first in both positively and negatively charged coordination entities.
      ii.            The ligands are named in an alphabetical order before the name of the central atom/ion
    iii.            The name of the anionic ligands end in –o, those of neutral and cationic ligands are
the same except aqua for H2O, ammine for NH3, carbonyl for CO and nitrosyl for NO, placed within enclosing marks .
    iv.            The prefixes mono, di, tri, etc., are used to indicate the number of the individual ligands in the coordination entity. When the names of the ligands include a numerical prefix, then the terms, bis, tris , tetrakis are used, the ligand to which they refer being placed in parenthesis.
      v.            Oxidation state of the metal in cation, anion, or neutral coordination entity is indicated by roman numeral in parenthesis.
    vi.            If the complex ion is a cation , the metal is same as the element.
  vii.            For the neutral complex molecule is named similar to that of the complex cation.

12.ISOMERISM  IN COORDINATION COMPOUNDS
Two or more substances having the same molecular formula but different structural formula or spatial arrangements are called isomers and the phenomenon is called isomerism
IN Coordination compounds show -
A)    Structural Isomerism
B)      Stereoisomerism
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM:- due to the difference in structures of coordination compounds. It is further subdivided into the following types-
        i.            Ionisation isomerism: This isomerism arises when the counter ion in a complex salt is itself a potential ligand and can displace a ligand which can then become the counter ion.Example - the ionization isomers:[Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and[Co(NH3)5Br]SO4.
      ii.            Hydrate or solvate isomerism: This isomerism is known as hydrate isomerism‘ in case where water is involved as a solvent. This is similar to ionisation isomerism. 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. An example is provided by the aqua complex [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 (violet) and its solvate isomer [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2.H2O (grey-green).
    iii.            Linkage Isomerism: Linkage isomerism arises in a coordination compound having ambidentate ligand. A simple example-Complexes containing the thiocyanate ligand SCN- which may bind through the N to give M–NCS or through S to give M–SCN.
    iv.            4). Coordination isomerism: It arises from the interchange of ligands between cationic and anionic entities of different metal ions present in a complex.  Example [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6][Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6]
STEREOISOMERISM: Stereo isomers have the same chemical formula and chemical bonds but they have different spatial arrangement. This isomerism is of two kinds
A. Geometrical isomerism
B. Optical isomerism
1.      GEOMETRICAL ISOMERISM- This isomerism arises in heteroleptic complexes due to different possible geometric arrangements of the ligands. Important examples of this behaviour re found with coordination numbers 4 and 6.
Ex-1, In a square planar complex of formula [MX2L2] (X and L- unidentate), the two ligands X may be arranged adjacent to each other in a cis or opposite to each other in a trans isomer 
Ex2 Name.2,  [MABXL]-Where A,B,X,L are unidentates Two cis- and one trans isomers are possible.

 Facial (fac) and Meridional isomer Another type of geometrical isomerism occurs in octahedral coordination entities of the type [Ma3b3] like [Co(NH3)3(NO2)3]. If three donor atoms of the same ligands occupy adjacent positions at the corners of an octahedral face, we have the facial (fac) isomer. When the positions are around the meridian of the octahedron, we get the meridional (mer) isomer.









2.      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 are called chiral.
The two forms are called dextro (d) and laevo (l).Dextro rotates plane of polarised light  to the right, Laevo to the left).  Optical isomerism is common in octahedral complexes involving didentate ligands. In a coordination entity of the type [CoCl2(en)2]2+, only the cis-isomer shows optical activity.

8.)  Valence bond Theory:- Example in which bonding explained on the basis of  VBT using the concept of hybridisation . This theory also explains low spin & high spin complexes. This theory also accounts for magnetic behaviour of complexes based on presence of unpaired  electrons ,.VBT also explains bonding in complexes using the concept of a strong & weak ligands which affects  the pairing of electron

8.CRYSTAL FIELD THEORY: CFT)
1.      The metal-ligand bond is ionic arising purely from electrostatic interactions between the metal ion and the ligand.
2.      Ligands are treated as point charges or dipoles in case of anions and neutral molecules.
3.      In an isolated gaseous metal atom or ion the five d-orbitals are degenerate.
4.      Degeneracy is maintained if a spherically symmetrical field of negative charges surrounds the metal /ion.
5.      In a complex the negative field becomes asymmetrical and results in splitting of the  d-orbitals.
A)    CRYSTAL FIELD SPLLITING IN OCTAHEDRAL COORDINATION ENTITIES




1.      For d4 ions, two possible patterns of electron distribution arise:
                    i.            If Δo < P, the fourth electron enters one of the eg orbitals giving the configuration t 2g e1g . Ligands for which Δo < P are known as weak field ligands and form high spin complexes.
                  ii.            (ii) If Δo > P, it becomes energetically favourable for the fourth electron to occupy a t2g orbital with configuration t42g e0g. Ligands which produce this effect are known as strong field ligands and form low spin complexes.

B.CRYSTAL FIELD SPLLITING IN TETRAHEDRAL COORDINATION ENTITIES
1. The four surrounding ligands approach the central metal atom/ion along the planes between the axes.
2. The t2g orbitals are raised in energy (2/5) ∆t.        
3. The two eg orbitals are lowered in energy (3/5) ∆t.
4. The splitting is smaller as compared to octahedral field splitting ∆t=5/9∆o.
5. Pairing of electrons is rare and thus complexes have generally high spin configurations.










BONDING IN METAL CARBONYLS
1.      The metal-carbon bond in metal carbonyls possess both σ and Ï€ character.
2.      The M–C σ bond is formed by the donation of lone pair of electrons on the carbonyl carbon into a vacant orbital of the metal..
3.      The M–C Ï€ bond is formed by back the donation of a pair of electrons from a filled d orbital of metal into the vacant antibonding Ï€* orbital of carbon monoxide.
4.      The metal to ligand bonding creates a synergic effect which strengthens the bond between CO and the metal .
EX-  Fe (CO)5, Ni(CO)4, Cr(CO)6 …..

Q1.. Give the electronic configuration of the,
a)      d – orbitals of Ti on [Ti(H2O)6]3+ion in the octahedral crystal field.
b)      Why is the complex coloured? Explain on the basis of distribution of electrons in the d orbitals.
c)    How does the colour change on heating [Ti(H2O)6]3+ion?
Ans: (a) In [Ti(H2O)6]3+ion
            Oxidation state is Ti=+3
            There is only one electron in the d-orbital and its configuration is t2g1 eg0
            (b) Due to d-d transition configuration becomes t2g0 eg1.
            (c) On heating [Ti(H2O)6]3+ion becomes colourless as there is no ligand (H2O) left in
heating. In the absence of ligand, crystal field splitting does not occure.
Q.2.     Give a suitable example for each, example the following:
                                i.            Crystal field splitting.
                              ii.            Linkage isomerism.
                            iii.            Ambidentate ligand.
Ans: (i) In most of the transition metal complexes, either six or four ligands surround the   metal/ion. It gives rise to octahedral and tetrahedral structures. In both cases, the         field produced by the ligands is not spherically symmetrical. As a result, d-orbitals   arenot equally affected by the field. It results in spiltting the d-orbital energies.
(ii) Linkage isomerism. It occurs in complexes when an ambidentateligand  occurs in         the co-ordination sphere.
e.g. [CO(NH3)5NO2]2+            and [CO(NH3)5(-DNO)]2+
Another example is
[Cr(H2O)5(SCN)2+                   and [Cr (H2O)5NCS)]2+
