Resulting compounds upon adding AgNO 3 CoCl 3 ·6NH 3 [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+( Cl - ) 3 CoCl 3 ·5NH 3 [Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl] 2+( Cl -) 2 CoCl 3 ·4NH 3 [Co(NH 3 ) 4 Cl 2 ] + (Cl - ) CoCl 3 ·3NH 3 [Co(NH 3 ) 3 Cl 3 ] As the table above shows, the complex ion [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ is countered by the three chloride ions. The multi-level binding of coordination complexes play an important role in determining the dissociation of these complexes in aqueous solution. For example, [Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl] 2+( Cl - ) 2 dissociates into 3 ions while [Co(NH 3 ) 4 Cl 2 ] + (Cl - ) dissociates into 2 ions. By applying a current through the aqueous solutions of the resulting complex compounds, Werner measured the electrical conductivity and thus the dissociation properties of the complex compounds. The results confirmed his hypothesis of the formation of complex compounds. It is important to note that the above compounds have a coordination number of 6, which is a common coordination number for many inorganic complexes. Coordination numbers for complex compounds typically range from 1 to 16. Properties of Coordination Complexes. Some methods of verifying the presence of complex ions include studying its chemical behavior. This can be achieved by observing the compounds' color, solubility, absorption spectrum, magnetic properties, etc. The properties of complex compounds are separate from the properties of the individual atoms. By forming coordination compounds, the properties of both the metal and the ligand are altered. Metal-ligand bonds are typically thought of Lewis acid-base interactions. The metal atom acts as an electron pair acceptor (Lewis acid), while the ligands act as electron pair donors (Lewis base). The nature of the bond between metal and ligand is stronger than intermolecular forces because they form directional bonds between the metal ion and the ligand, but are weaker than covalent bonds and ionic bonds. Common Ligands. Monodentate ligands donate one pair of electrons to the central metal atoms. An example of these ligands are the haldide ions (F - , Cl -, Br - , I - ). Polydentate ligands, also called chelates or chelating agents, donate more than one pair of electrons to the metal atom forming a stronger bond and a more stable complex. A common chelating agent is ethylenediamine (en), which, as the name suggests, contains two ammines or: NH 2 sites which can bind to two sites on the central metal. An example of a tridentate ligand is bis- diethylenetriammine. An example of such a coordination complex is bis-diethylenetriamine cobalt III. 83 Complex ions can form many compounds by binding with other complex ions in multiple ratios. This leads to many combinations of coordination compounds. The structures of certain coordination compounds can also have isomers, which can change their interactions with other chemical agents. The binding between metal and ligands is studied in metals, tetrahedral, and octahedral structures. There are many pharmaceutical and biological applications of coordination complexes and their isomers. жүктеу/скачать 4.51 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
