Trick 6 Tech: Double salts when dissolved in water dissociate almost completely into ions in the same way in which the individual components of the double salts do, It means in aqucous solution, they give the test of all their constituent ions. In complex compounds, the central metal atom or ion can act as Lewis acid and ligands act as Lewis base. In complex compounds central metal may exists in zero, positive or even in low negative oxidation state. Chelating ligand is a natural molecule, free radical or ion with two or more lone pairs of electrons on different atoms, formation of chelate rings always increases the stability of a complex. r-acid ligand are capable of accepting an appreciable amount of x-electron density from the metal atom into empty 1 or x* orbital of their own. TUPAC nomenclature of complex compounds @ The positive part of a coordination compound is named first and is followed by the name of negative part @ The ligands are named first followed by the central metal. The prefixes di-, tri etc, are also used to indicate number of each kind of ligand present. @ The oxidation state of central metal is indicated in roman numbers in parantheses @ Ifa complex species has negative charge, the name of the central metal ends in cate. ®@ If complex is neutral or positive charge than general name is there. Isomerism @ _ Ionisation isomerism arises when complex compounds with same molecular formula give different ions in solution. @ Linkage isomerism arises when a complex contain a monodentate ligand with more than one donor atoms. ®@ Coordination isomerism arises when there is exchange of ligands between complex cation and complex anion, @ Hydrate isomerism arises when different number of water molecules present in the coordination sphere @ Geometrical isomerism arises when two identical ligands oct positions to each other or placed opposite to each other. @ Square planar complexes of the type MA2X)MABX,,MA,XY and MABXY and octahedral complexes of the type MA4X2,MAgX. show geometrical isomerism. py adjacent Bos Rue Trick & Tech: The complex of the type M(AA), Xp (where, AA is symmetrical bidentate ligand) also show geometrical isomerism. @ — Compounds of type MAX 2Y>,MA,XYZ,MA,X,YZL, MABXZL,M(AA);,M(AA)X_» show optical @ MAX, show both geometrical and optical isomerism. isomerism, 7. Primary valencies corresponds to the oxidation number of metal atom or ion while secondary valencies corresponds to the coordination number of metal atom or metal ion, Primary valencies are ionizable while secondary valencies are non ionisable. 8. According to valence bond theory, the metal atom or ion under the influence of ligands can use (n—1) d, ns, np, nd orbitals for hybridisation to yield square planar. tetrahedral or octahedral geometry. These hybridised orbitals then overlap with ligand orbitals which can donate an electron pair for bonding. 9. The crystal field theory is based on the effect of different crystal fields provided by the ligands on the degeneracy of d-orbitals of central metal atom or ion. The conversion of, degenerate d-orbitals into different sets of orbitals having different energies is known as crystal field splitting, © Order of increasing field strength of ligands is as follows I
is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN4)}> is diamagnetic. It is due to the fact that Clis a weak field ligand, it cannot pair up 3d-electrons against Hund’s rule and Ni?" is sp? Hybridised (tetrahedral shape) with two unpaired electrons. While CN~ is a strong field ligand, causes pairing so, Ni2* becomes dsp” hybridised (square planar shape) with no unpaired electrons (diamagnetic) 13. Structure of[Cu(NHs), * is an exceptional case. In this complex, one electron from, 3d-subshell is promoted to 4p-subshell. The remaining eight 3d-electrons pairs up in four 3d-orbitals followed by spd hybridisation. The resulting complex is square planar with one unpaired clectron in 4p-orbital. It is therefore, paramagnetic. hl one or more unpaired electrons are 14. 1S. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Trick 6 Tech: fi Pt (Il) and Au (III) always form square planar complexes whether ligands are strong or weak. (important) All octahedral complexes of Ni?*,Cu*, Zn?* and Co”* are outer orbital complexes. Some complexes likes CrO} ,Cr,0",MnOj ete. have d° configuration of metal ion but have intense colour. In these cases, the colour is due to charge transfer and not due to d —d transition. In organometallic compounds, carbon must be bonded to metal directly. Zeise’s salt, ferrocene and dibenzene chromium are some of the examples of -complex organometallic compounds. complex. Metal carbonyls such as Fe(CO), |,[ Ni(CO), |have characteristics of both o and x complexes. Carbonyls containing metal and Co only are known as homoleptic carbonyls. d-block metals form most stable carbonyls. ‘The stability of coordination compounds is measured in terms of stepwise stability (or formation) constant K or overall stability constant (B). For a given reaction; M+4L— ML, p, - Meal iMiiLy The instability constant or the dissociation constant of coordination compounds is defined as the reciprocal of the formation constant.

For the Stability of Complex: we have thse points. (a) If in complexes central metals are same with same legend then more the charge on. central metal more will be stability. Example: (a) K,[Fe(CN)5] and (b) KglFe(CN)g} In (a) central metal charge is +2 and in (b) charge on central metal is +3, So more Charge is in *b’. so more stable is (b) [This charge is oxidation number] os Trick 6 Tech: K4[Fe(CN)g] Ks[Fe(CN)<] x4 +x+(-1)x6=0 1x34 X+(-1)x6=0 Xei2 xed (b) If we are having same charge on central metal but different ligand then ligand with better basic nature will have more stable complex.
