INTRODUCTION
Question 1. Ek compound A hai aur ek compound B hai …suppose CFSE of A is
1500 cm-1 and CFSE of B is 2000 cm-1. Which compound is more stable ?
a) A
b) B
c) Both are equally stable
d) Data is not sufficient
Dr. KULDEEP GARG
Answer – (d)
CFSE is a difference. Suppose hume btana hai ki sir ki pocket mei kitne paise hai
… door se dekh k idea lgaya ki Rs. 5000 honge … but after reasearch or checking
and only Rs. 600 mile … difference between 5000 and 600 is known as CFSE. 2
Dr. Kuldeep Garg (KDSIR CLASS NOTES)
CFSE ek type ka difference hai theoretical and experimental values ka aur
difference k basis pr stability nhi bta sakte hai
CFSE = Experimental – theoretical
Example – [Mn(H2O)6]2+ this compound is not unstable … kuki iski CFSE = 0 hai
isko unstable nhi keh denge …
CFSE = 0 ka matlab hai ki… Experimental – theoretical = 0
Question 2 – What is the hybridisation of [Re(CH3)6] and [W(CH3)6] ?

a) Both are same
b) Both are different
c) Both are sp3d2
d) None of these is sp3d2
Dr. KULDEEP GARG
Answer – (b) and (d)
hybridisation of [Re(CH3)6] = sd4p
hybridisation of [W(CH3)6] = sd5
Dono ki geometry = Triagonal prismatic

• When d0 and [M(CH3)6] = hybridisation will be sd5
• When d1 and [M(CH3)6] = hybridisation will be sd4p
Question 3 – inme se kon jyada stable hai …
A. [Mg(H2O)6]2+
B. [Ca(H2O)6]2+
C. [Sr(H2O)6]2+
Answer – (A) [Mg(H2O)6]2+

Yaha oxidation state nhi dekhna hai … hume metallic character dekhna h
Formal charge kitna hai … H2O ko negative ki tarah treat karenge … sab pr -4 ka
formal charge aaya … -4 charge ko kon rakhna pasand karega … koi metal hai …
jese jese metallic character increase hoga … minus charge rakhna pasand nhi
karega … aur positive hona pasand karega
Jitna jyada metallic character ; utna hate karega negative charge ko … metallic
character increases down the group
Stability is a relative phenomenon. Stability alag alag type ki hoti hai.

Sabse pehle hum thermodynamic stability dekhte hai …
• [Ni(CN)6] does not exist ; [Ni(CN)3] exist ; [Ni2(CN)6] exist

Hum common coordination = 6 milta hai … but we know less than 6 coordination
bhi exist krte h … jyada bhi milta h 6 se
❖ Electroneutrality principle
1) S block
2) P block
3) D block
4) F block
Sab pr Electroneutrality principle lagta hai … lekin ku nhi padhte … kuki
applications hrr block k liye different hai …
Thermodynamic stability is not applied on d block
Baaki sab pr lg jaata h
Question 4 – order of stability of
1. [Fe(H2O)6]2+
2. [Ru(H2O)6]2+
3. [Os(H2O)6]2+
Answer - [Fe(H2O)6]2+ < [Ru(H2O)6]2+ < [Os(H2O)6]2+
Yaha oolta ho gya order … p block wale se … iss liye confuse nhi hoga
❖ d block mei thermodynamic stability formal charge k basis pr nhi dekhni h
Question – what is the formal charge on [Ni(CO)4] and [Ni(Cl)6]2- ?

Answer - formal charge on [Ni(CO)4] = 0
formal charge on [Ni(Cl)6]2- = +2 … wrong hai … +2 is oxidation state
formal charge on [Ni(Cl)6]2- = 0
Ye hum prove karenge by electroneutrality principle
❖ Oxidation state increases as coordination number increases … ye hum padhte hai
o [Na(H2O)6]+
o [Mg(H2O)6]2+ as oxidation charge increases; coordination number is same
o [Al(H2O)6]3+
In p block ; as oxidation state increases ; coordination number increases
o SF4
o SF6
In lanthanides ;
▪ Ce+2 Lx
▪ Ce+4 Ly
Here x > y; +4 oxidation state mei bhi coordination number less hai
❖ High O.S. (oxidation state) ; higher stabilty … aisa nhi hai
❖ [Ni(CO)4] ; O.S. = 0 ; rone lga
❖ [V(CO)6]- ; metal pr negative charge …haye haye macha deta …
Mo ki -4 O.S. tk jaata hai

Question – NO3- is
a) Monodentate
b) Bidentate
c) Flexidentate
d) None of these
Answer – (C)
Behave as monodentate with 3d metals
3 membered chelate rings are unstable
4 membered chelate rings are stable but condition hai ki metals ka size big ho
Jb NO3- lanthanides k saath judte h toh do side se donate krte h
• For 3d metals – 5 > 6 > 4 > 3 membered ring

• For lanthanides 5 > 4 > 6 > 3membered ring
• acac - acetoacetate – iske saath metal 6 membered ring banata hai

Ye sigma donor bhi hota hai and pi donor bhi hota hai … resonance bhi ho rha hota
h … aromatic character aa jata hai that’s why 6 membered ring stable ho jaati h

Question – [Mg(EDTA)H2] mei kitna coordination number hoga … aisa pooch lete
h
Question - NH2-NH2 is a
a) Monodentate
b) Bidentate
c) Flexidentate
Answer – (a) monodentate
3 membered ring kabhi nhi banegi … humesha monodentate hi rahega …
Ab sab doubts finish … ab padhna start karenge

COORDINATION CHEMISTRY
Sabse pehle toh coordination hai kya
Isko hum samjhenge salt se … ek hota h normal salt … ghar ka namak … NaCl
Thode se addition compounds bhi hote h jo ki 2 type k hote h
1. Double salt
2. Complex salt
NaCl ne apne pyaar ka test diya …Isko paani mei daal dete h … aur inka pyaar toot
jaata h
• NaCl + H2O → Na+ + Cl- … no identity of NaCl in aqueous solution
Aise hi double salt k saath hua
• KCl.MgCl2 + H2O → K+ + Mg2+ + Cl-… no identity of KCl.MgCl2 in aqueous
solution
• Ions ki identity retain kiya but salt ki identity lose ho gyi
• K4[Fe(CN)6] + H2O → K+ + [Fe(CN)6]4- … [Fe(CN)6]4- retained its identity in
the aqueous solution
• Solution mei iron k ions nhi mile … cyanide k ions nhi mile … ab hume ye
dekhna hai ki [Fe(CN)6]4- ye kaise jude rahe … inka relation pta krne mei lge
K4[Fe(CN)6] is known as complex compound
METAL – LIGAND k complex ko COORDINATION COMPLEX bola
Alag alag theory aane lgi inke relation batane k liye … lovers nhi hai … kuki water
daalte hi alag ho jate … lovers means ionic bond is not there
Pauling gave a theory … theories hai … concept nhi hai …

VBT theory aayi … kehne lgi ki metal k d orbitals khaali the usme electron donate
krne laga ligand … metal donates electron ; ligand donates electron toh electrons
jaa kaha rhe hai jb dono donate kr rhe h toh … explained on the basis of
electroneutrality principle
Hydrogen k paas kitne orbitals hote h ?

Ans. Infinite orbitals
H k orbitals mei de dete electron … usko ku nhi diye

Jb metal apne electrons donate krke aa jaata hai … tb ligands ko kehta h ki hum
dono ek doosre k electrons ko neutralise krenge … ek ligand lga hua h … lekin koi
doosra ligand aaya toh pehle wale ko bhaga k new ko lga le

We will study this in detail
Why werner got the Nobel prize ?
Why carbonyl give metal to metal but accepts electron ?

Coordination Chemistry Lecture – 2(16)
WERNER THEORY
Werner got a nobel prize in coordination chemistry
Werner ko nobel prize ku mila … [XY] compound liya ; geometry define kr di
without spectroscopy
[ML6] can have following geometries
Hexagonal planar Trigonal prismatic Octahedral

Werner gave [ML6] geometry → octahedral on the basis of isomerism.
Jab geometry pta lag gyi ; uske baad bonding nature determine kiya gaya
By VBT ; CFT ; LFT
Molecular formula – Cr(NH3)6Cl3

▪ [Cr(NH3)6].3Cl
▪ [Cr(NH3)5Cl].2Cl
▪ [Cr(NH3)4Cl2].Cl
Dr. KULDEEP GARG
▪ [Cr(NH3)3Cl3]
Werner ne experiment kiya, water mei daal diye ; jo water daalne se alag ho gye
unhe bracket k bahar rkha aur jo alag nhi hue unke beech bond bnaye

Physical and Chemical properties should be different for all
But werner got only two types of properties of the above compound instead of 3.
So he thought of another geometry

Still hume 3 type ki properties mili ; koi or geometry sochi

2 type ki properties mili ; we got two types of compounds.
Therefore, the compound has an octahedral geometry
POSTULATES OF WERNER THEORY

Valency 2 type ki hoti hai
1. Primary valency
2. Secondary valency
Primary valency → Oxidation state of central metal atom

Secondary valency → Coordination of central metal atom
Primary valency is ionizable, whereas secondary valency is non-ionizable

H2O
[Co (NH3)6]3+Cl3 [Co (NH3)6]3+ + 3 Cl-
Primary Valency can be satisfied only by negative ion

[Co (NH3)4Cl2]+Cl
2 Cl- is satisfying primary valency
• Secondary valency can be satisfied only by negative or neutral ion
• Primary valency is non directional
• Secondary valency is directional
Primary valency → O.S. → Ionizable → negative → non-directional
Secondary valency → C.N. → non-ionisable → negative / neutral → directional

[M (NH3)4Cl2]Cl
[M (NH3)5Cl]Cl2
[M (NH3)6]Cl3
Physical properties were checked :-
1. Electrical conductivity
2. Depression in the freezing point (DFP)
Charge ↑ , Electrical conductivity ↑
Number of charged particles ↑ , DFP ↑
conductivity
a) [M (NH3)4Cl2]Cl → |+1-1| = 2 particles
b) [M (NH3)5Cl]Cl2 → |+2-2| = 3 particles
c) [M (NH3)6]Cl3→ |+3-3| = 4 particles
a b c
Chemical reaction
[M (NH3)4Cl2]Cl + AgNO3 → AgCl
[M (NH3)5Cl]Cl2 + AgNO3 → 2 AgCl Proved by werner
[M (NH3)6]Cl3 + AgNO3 → 3 AgCl
Bonding nature of M-L bond Dr. KULDEEP GARG

Isko hum VBT, CFT , LFT se explain karenge
Isse pehle kuch basic seekh lete hai
• 18 electron rule
• Electroneutrality principle

18 electron rule bhi octet rule k jaisa hi hai … isko hum stabibility dekhne k liye
use krte hai
Agar compound 18 electron rule ko follow karta hai, iska matlab hai ki voh
compound stable hai
Agar koi compound 18 electron rule ko follow nahi karta hai toh iska ye matlab
bilkul nahi hai ki voh compound unstable hai
ELECTRONEUTRALITY PRINCIPLE
Ye um 2 jagah padhte hai
➢ Transition metals mei (d1 – d9)
➢ Non transition metals mei (s-block, p-block, lanthanides and actinides, d0 and
d10)

Pehle hum padhte hai ELECTRONEUTRALITY PRINCIPLE FOR TRANSITION
METAL CHEMISTRY
We know, Oxidation state increase ; stability increase

But THIS IS NOT STUDIED IN TRANSITION METAL CHEMISTRY
Kuki transition metal chemistry mei aise compounds bhi hai jinka oxidation state
less hai but voh stable hai
For example, [V(CO)6]- → Low oxidation state mei hai metal ; but this compound
is stable
[Fe(CN)6]3- → high oxidation state mei hai metal ; this compound is stable
Oxidation state increase ; stability increase → ye hum p – block mei apply krenge

AlF63- ; SF6 ; PF6- ; SiF62-
Al3+ < Si4+ < P5+ < S6+ increasing order of oxidation state
Order of stability - AlF63- <SiF62- < PF6- <SF6
Ligand k basis pr stability nahi bata sakte

AlF63- ; Al(H2O)63+ ; Al(H2O)63+
All have Al3+
F is more electronegative – electron ache se kheech k rakhega ; aur Al pr 𝛿 +
charge badha dega ; jitna jyada charge ; utni jyada stability .
Charge pr based stability only p – block mei bata sakte hai

When ligand and charge is same – we can tell stability only in transition metals
Summary for non transition metals

• Ligand same → O.S. different → O.S. ↑ , Stability ↑
• Ligand different → O.S. ya charge same → most electronegative atom ligand
increases ; 𝛿 + charge badha diya aur stable kr diya
• Ligand same ; charge same → formal charge dekhenge
formal charge induce kiya ; aur dekha 𝛿 − ko kon rakh sakta hai . Iss liye kam
metallic character wale ne 𝛿 − ko rakh liya aur stable ho gya ; therefore
[Mg(H2O)6]2+ is more stable (refer first lecture)
THIS STABILITY IS THERMODYNAMIC STABILITY

Charge k basis pr , transition metal complexes mei thermodynamic stability nahi
dekhenge
On the basis of Charge
We can see coordination number ; only in transition metals
We cannot see coorn=dination number in non transition metals on the basis of
charge
❖ s – block
o [Na(H2O)6]+
o [Mg(H2O)6]2+ as oxidation charge increases; coordination number is same
o [Al(H2O)6]3+

❖ p – block
SF4 → +4
SF6 → +6 charge increase ; coordination number increases
❖ Lanthanoids
Ce2+ → C.No. = 12
Ce4+ → C.No. = 6 charge increase ; coordination number decreases
❖ Transition metals
CHARGE INCREASE ; COORDINATION NUMBER INCREASES

❑ [NiCl4]2- and [NiCl6]2-
Ni2+ mei coordination number = 4 hai ; jaise hi Ni4+ hua means oxidation increase
hua ; coordination number bhi 6 ho gya ; that means increase ho gya
[NiF6]2-
Electronegative atom lagane se bhi charge increase hota hai … F is more
electronegative ; electron apne paas rakhe ; metal pr 𝛿 + charge increase ho gya
Therefore, as charge increase; coordination number increases
❑ [Cu(NH3)4] and [CuF6]4-

N is less electronegative than F ; F is more electronegative ; electron apne paas
rakhe ; metal pr 𝛿 + charge increase ho gya

❑ [CoF6]4- ; [Co(NH3)4]2+ ; [Co(NH3)6]3+
[CoF6]4- ; [Co(NH3)4]2+ here electronegativity increase hui ; charge increase hua;
coordination number increase ho gya
[Co(NH3)6]3+ - yaha toh charge hi increase ho gya ; +2 se +3 ho gya ; coordination
number increase hoga hi
Coordination number depends upon –

• Charge
• Number of d-electrons Dr. KULDEEP GARG
• Number of d-electrons ↑ coordination number ↓
• charge↑ coordination number ↑
(due to electroneutrality principle)
d1 se d10 ki taraf jaate hue … Co tak toh humne coordination number 6 k complexes
milte hai … after Co we get complexes with coordination number 4
Aisa ku hua ?
Metal k d electron increase ho rhe hai … toh ligand k electron rakhne k liye space
nhi hai … iss liye ligand hi kum kr diye
If Co k baad wale metals ka coordination number increase krna hai … iske liye 2
methods hai
1. Oxidation state increase kr do
2. Ligand ko highly electronegative kr do
[Cu (H2O)6] and [Ni (H2O)6] exist because Oxygen is electronegative.

K2[[Ni Cl6] ; here nickel is in +4 oxidation state ; O.S. increase hua ; coordination
number bhi increase ho gya ; that is 6
Ab tk humne dekha ki electroneutrality k according

• Metal k liye 2 points hai
➢ Oxidation state should be high
➢ Coordination number should be high
• Ligand mei bhi hum 2 cheeze dekhenge

➢ Sigma bond – electronegativity
➢ Pi-bond – back bonding
(inko aage detail mei explain karenge)
Ligands are classified on the basis of donation

1. Classical (electron donate karega)
2. Non-classical (electron donate bhi karega aur accept bhi karega)
Classical – jo apna kaam ek dm perfectly kare

Ligand ki definition – that donate electrons are known as ligands
Ek term humne suni hoti hai … COORDINATE BOND

Ye bhi 2 type ka hota h
➢ Sigma coordinate bond
➢ Pi coordinate bond
Suppose 3 people - A , B and C temple mei gye
A (Kuldeep sir ) ne toh 10 rupees ka prashad chadhaya … aur badle mei bohat saari
wishes maang li
B (kuldeep sir ki wife ) ne 10 rupees ka prashad chadhaya … saath mei paise bhi
diye
C (kuldeep sir ka son) ne sirf 10 rupees ka prashad chadhaya
M L A = σ – donor + π – acceptor { NON – CLASSICAL}
M L B = σ – donor + π – donor { CLASSICAL}
M L C = σ – donor { CLASSICAL}
All ligands are σ – donors
σ – bond stabilization is dependent on electronegativity of ligand
• Blue arrows jo bond show kiye gye hai voh hai σ – coordinate bond (also
known as DATIVE BOND )
• Red arrows show π – coordinate bond
• NH3 → BH3 (Dative bond)
Question – Which statement is correct?

A. All coordinate bonds are dative bonds
B. All dative bonds are coordinate bonds
Answer – B
Spectrochemical series
σ – donor + π – acceptor > only σ – donor > σ – donor + weak π – donor
> σ – donor + strong π – donor
red bond is π – back bond also called synergic bonding
red bond shows π – back bonding
➢ If metal is in high oxidation state, kon se ligand se bonding karega ?

Electron kum hai ; jo electron de dega ; σ – donor toh sab hai ; therefore π – donor
ligand se bonding karega
e.g. KMnO4 Mn+7 → O is a σ – donor and weak π – donor
➢ If metal is in low oxidation state, kon se ligand se bonding karega ?
Electron jyada hai ; jo electron le lega ; therefore π – acceptor ligand se bonding
karega
e.g. [V (CO)6]- V- → CO is a σ – donor and π – acceptor
Mo-4 with CO → highly π – acceptor
❖ CO is ambident or not ? M ← CO ; Answer is No

❖ CN is ambident or not ? M ← CN ; Answer is No
❖ SCN is ambident or not ? YES ; M ← SCN ; M ← NCS
❖ Gap is high in C and N

❖ Gap is low in N and S

[Ni Cl4]2- Ni2+ → O.S. = +2 ; formal charge = 0
Chlorine is more electronegative ; electron chlorine k paas hi rahenge
❑ M C=O
Jab CO ko electron wapas hi lene the toh diye hi ku ?
C and O ne bond banaya, 2 valency thi dono

ki, satisfy ho gyi but C had 2 non bonding
electrons, Oxygen is more electronegative
than Carbon; therefore, oxygen is placed at
lower energy level

Carbon was not happy because uske electrons non bonding with slightly
antibonding character mei the … Therefore, tries to donate to Mn+ ; Mn+ ko
electrons chahiye but does antibonding k nahi chahiye ; fir Carbon ne kaha ki ek
baar le le fir mujhe wapas de dena and Carbon fir accept karta hai metal se
electrons ko in π* of CO
Firstly, electrons the nb(ab) of carbon mei ; ab electron hai π* of CO
M-C=O
In carbonyl chemistry, jitna acha M → π bond (back bond) banayega ; utna C=O
bond weak hoga kuki metal electron dega anti bonding of CO mei ; bond order of
CO decreases

VALENCE BOND THEORY
This theory was given by Pauling
Metal k paas degenerate orbitals of comparable energy hai
Comparable means → 100, 110, 130 – mila lenge
1, 1000000 – ye comparable nahi hai
• Metal k paas vacant orbitals of comparable energy hote hai ; that can accept
electrons from ligands
• Ab ye dekhte hai ki konse orbitals comparable energy k hote hai
❖ 3d ; 4s ; 4p and 4s ; 4p and 4d
3d and 4d apas mei hybridise nahi kr sakte hai ; l value same ; n value different

Metal k d ; s ; p orbitals hybridise hoke M-L complex banayenge
say, kuch guests aa rhe hai papa ki side k ; mamma will ask kitne log aa rhe hai ;
agar 3 log aa rhe honge sitting arrangement is according to 3 guests
We know, geometry toh fixed hai ; iske according hum hybridisation de denge
Suppose, geometry hai octahedral

Hybridisation humne maan li d2sp3 or sp3d2
s is non directional
p is direction
d is diffused
Isme jo 2 d oribitals use ho rhe hai voh hai d x2-y2

In octahedral, dxy ; dyz and dzx will not hybridise with d x2-y2 and d z2
Because angle is very less than 900
sd5 – ye octahedral nahi hai ; Dr. KULDEEP GARG

Kuki hume pata hai ki octahedral mei saare angles 900 and 1800 hi hote hai
And all 5 d orbitals are not at 900
Therefore; octahedral geometry banane k liye hum ya toh d3 ( dxy; dyz; dzx) use kr
sakte hai ya fir d2 (d x2-y2 and d z2)
Agar hum d3 ( dxy; dyz; dzx) use krte hai – d3sp2

dxy and px orbitals 900 pr nahi honge
dxy and pz mei toh 900 ka angle ka hoga ….
Lekin px and py k saath nahi hoga
Ya toh px and py bhi dxy se overlap ho jaate

Agar nhi hue toh 900 pr rahe
Therefore; d3sp2 is also not good for octahedral.

ALL p orbitals overlap with d x2-y2 and d z2
Iss liye d2sp3 or sp3d2 are suitable for octahedral geometry

Coordination Chemistry Lecture – 4 (18)
VBT - isme hum metal k hybrid orbitals consider karte hai jinki energy jo hai voh
comparable hai ; metal ligands k saath covalent coordinate bond banata hai
According to VBT, ligand is of two types

Life mei 2 types k people hote hai
Rich and poor
But ye nahi bata sakte ki konsa rich konsa poor ; we will see spin only magnetic
momenta
Two types of ligand – check karenge sabse pehle magnetic momenta
Agar electron ka spin only magnetic momenta k hisaab se agar electron Hund’s rule
ko follow karta hai ya hund’s k jaisa nahi hai … ye check krenge
• If number of unpaired electron in metal = number of unpaired electron in
complex ; Then the LIGAND IS WEAK
• If number of unpaired electron in metal > number of unpaired electron in
complex . Then the LIGAND IS STRONG
• Strong ligands have tendency to pair up the electrons to stablise the complex. If
complex gets destablised – pairing will not occur.
• Weak ligands do not have tendency to pair up electron.

Octahedral – d2sp3
3d k 2 orbitals 4s orbital and 4p orbital ye sab mil jaate hai ; hybridise kr lete
Jab 3d available na ho, tabhi 4d ko include karenge
Agar 4d ko involve karenge toh uski hybridisation hogi sp3d2
• Agar andar wale d orbitals participate kr rhe hai ; that means 3d involve hai;
d2sp3 (d andar likha hai) this is known as OUTER ORBITAL COMPLEX
• Agar bahar wale d orbitals participate kr rhe hai ; that means 4d involve hai;
sp3d2 (d bahar likha hai) this is known as INNER ORBITAL COMPLEX
Strong ligand will not pair because easily d2sp3 is available
This is very unstable . Kinetically unstable.

This man can bear 600 Temperature; but haath pair toot gya hai; no samajhdaari
Hybrid orbital ki energy ka hi orbital khaali pada hai
Jagah khaali dikhi … water aake beth jayega…aur baaki ligands ko bhi replace
karna shuru kr dega
Hybrid orbital ki energy ka orbital vacant hai toh LABILE ; otherwise INERT
➢ On the basis of kinetic stability, compounds can be of two types

❖ Labile
❖ Inert

d1 and d2 are labile
d3 is inert
Dr. KULDEEP GARG
d1, d2 and d3 are inner orbital complexes
d1, d2 and d3 pr strong aur weak ligand ka koi effect nhi hoga
d4 metal
Due to this vacant orbital of low energy → Highly Labile

Hybridisation is sp3d2 and complex is outer orbital complex
Hybridisation is d2sp3 and complex is inner orbital complex and inert.

Agar iss tarah se pairing karvayenge ; ye labile hai ; kinetically unstable hai
KINETIC AND THERMODYNAMIC STABILITY

• A-B ka bond todna hai … easily toot rha h hathoda maarne pr lekin 100 saal
mei toot raha hai . Therefore, KINETICALLY STABLE
• A-B compound banaya; 100 KJ/mol ki energy mei bann gya easily lekin raha
sirf 1 minute ; therefore, KINETICALLY UNSTABLE
• There is no relation between thermodynamic and kinetic stability

Similarly hum sabka bana sakte hai

All square planar geometry are permanently labile because of its geometry
Upar se attack easily ho sakta hai metal par
d7 – no effect here ;
d8 – strong / weak – OSC → sp3d2 → Labile
d9 – strong / weak – OSC → sp3d2 → Labile

Low coordination number

❑ 4d and 5d metals → always pairing (weak or strong)
❑ Strong and weak sirf 3d (d4, d5, d6) upto +3 oxidation state
❑ Note : metal having O.S. ≥ +4, always pairing
Question.(GATE 2015) K2NiF6 ka hybridisation kya hoga?

Answer. NiF62-
Ni → x – 6 = -2
x = 6 – 2 = +4
Ni+4 →d6 (+4 O.S. → pairing hogi)
Answer – d2sp3
Ligands - C N O Halogen
C-O N-O
C-N
N, C apne se jyada electronegative atom se jude ho – strong ligand
O k baad weak ligands, Halogens – weak ligand
CO, CN, NO, NO2 > NH3, en > H2O, OH > F, Cl, Br, I
STRONG MODERATE WEAK VERY WEAK
This is a rough idea
• NH3, en behave as strong ligand in O.S. +3 and above otherwise weak
• With Co3+ , H2O, OH (O ki side se donation) ; behave as strong

Question
[Os(NH3)6]2+→ Os2+ →NH3 (always pairing ; 5d metal hai)

GATE (2015) – hybridisation of K2[Ni F6]
If hybridisation is asked – answer according to VBT
[Ni F6]- → Ni4+ →d6→d2sp3
NO2 can do transfer of electron

Iska sirf ek hi example hai … [Co(NO2)6]4- → Co2+ →d7

Air mei oxidise hua ? Kyu hua ?
Explaination – ek electron very high energy state mei excited hai … iss liye oxidise
ho gya ; one electron is in 5s orbital
Energy ka order – 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d
4s and 5d can not be used in hybridisation

But jab hume kisi electron ko excite karana hota hai ; it will be excited in 5s ;
because 4p is involved in hybridisation
[Co(NO2)6]4- → d2sp3 but labile hai

Question. I. [Ir (H2O)6]3+ ; II. [Cr(NH3)6]2+ ; III. [Ni (H2O)6]2+ ; IV. [Os F6]2-
(a) d2sp3 and paramagnetic
(b) sp3d2 and diamagnetic
(c) d2sp3 and diamagnetic
(d) sp3d2 and paramagnetic
Answer
I. [Ir (H2O)6]3+
Ir → x – 0 = +3
x = +3 ; Ir+3 →d6 ; 5d series; pairing hogi
2. Diamagnetic
II. [Cr(NH3)6]2+
Cr → x – 0 = +2
x = +2 ; Cr+2 →d4 ; NH3 is weak ligand; pairing nahi hogi
2. paramagnetic
III. [Ni (H2O)6]2+

Ni → x – 0 = +2
x = +2 ; Ni+2 →d8 ;
2. paramagnetic
IV. [Os F6]2-
Os → x – 6 = -2
x = +4 ; Os+4 →d6 ; 5d series; pairing hogi
2. Diamagnetic
Question. Correct option for [Fe(H2O)5 NO]2+

a. Unpaired electron = 4 ; labile; sp3d2
b. Unpaired electron = 3 ; labile; sp3d2
c. Unpaired electron = 2 ; inert; sp3d2
d. Unpaired electron = 1 ; inert; sp3d2
e. Unpaired electron = 4 ; inert; d2sp3
Solution. NO+ (learn)
Fe → x + 1 = +2
x = +1 ;
Fe+1 → 3d6 4s1 ;
sd pairing – s orbital is involved in hybridisation 100%
Ligand ka nature kuch bhi ho ; s k electron d mei pair honge ; d-d pairing nahi hogi
kuki weak ligand hai

Only 3 unpaired electron – magnetic moment = 3.9
[Fe(H2O)5 NO]2+ gives brown ring test
[Ni (CO)4]
Ni→ x = 0
Ni0 → 3d8 4s2 → d10 converted compound

[Co (CO)4]- and [Fe (CO)4]2-
Both show s-d pairing – dono converted d10 systems hai
[Co (CO)4]-
Co→ x = -1
Co-1 → 3d8 4s2 → d10 converted compound
[Fe (CO)4]2-
Fe→ x = -2
Fe-2 → 3d8 4s2 → d10 converted compound
ALL THE THREE COMPLEXES ARE sp3

COORDINATION NUMBER = 4
Yaha 2 types ki geometry dekhne ko milti hai

1. TETRAHEDRAL
2. SQUARE PLANAR
Tetrahedral jab hoga toh 2 hybridisation possible hai

➢ sp3 and d3s
Square planar jab hoga toh 2 hybridisation possible hai

➢ sp2d and dsp2

➢ [Ni (CO)4]
Ni→ x = 0
Ni0 → 3d8 4s2 → d10 converted compound → sp3
➢ MnO4-
Mn→ x - 8 = -1; x = +7
Mn+7 → 3d0 → d3s (isme jo 3 d orbitals involved hai ; voh hai dxy, dyz, dzx, s)
Exception - MnO4- is paramagnetic ; we will study in magnetism

Paramagnetism 2 wajah se hota hai ; spin and orbital
Spin wale ko kehte hai – temperature dependent paramagnetism
Orbital wale ko kehte hai temperature independent paramagnetism
MnO4- show orbital paramagnetism (temperature independent paramagnetism)
And spin k basis pr pooche toh temperature dependent diamagnetic
[Cu (NH3)4]2+
Cu+2 → 3d9
VBT k according sp3 hona chahiye ; lekin jab spectroscopy develop hui ;
compound ka ESR kiya ; geometry square planar mile ; for square planar all 3p
orbitals are never used; kuki px , py and px kabhi bhi ek hi plane mei nahi aa sakte

Kuch logo ne kaha ki ek electron ko 5s mei daal do aur dsp2 mil jayega
Huggin’s ne kaha ki electron bahar hai toh oxidise hona chahiye easily
Air mei le jao ; Cu3+ milega; nhi mila
H2O2 daal do ; electron bahar aa jayega … nahi aaya
Huggin’s concept – kisi bhi electron ko aise hi utha k bahar nhi rakh skte

sp2d ko JTD se explain kiya gya ; [Cu (NH3)4]2+ direct bn hi nhi rha
Cu + NH3 → [Cu (NH3)6]2+ {ye ek d9 complex hai ; high JTD hogi isme}
[Cu (NH3)6]2+ is a Zout complex; iski age bohat kum hai
sp2d – (px and py and dx2-y2) ; dz2 and pz wale bhaag jate hai

DRAWBACKS OF VBT – (SYLLABUS OF CFT)
1. It could not explain pairing
• 4d-5d pair kr rhe hai
• Nature of ligand
• +4 se jyada wale pair
Ye sab kaise ho rha hai ; no explaination
2. VBT could not explain the different bond lengths

2 bonds chote ; 4 bond lambe ; usne sab bonds ko same maana
Therefore, bond energy ka difference aaya ; not defined
3. VBT says colour is due to transition ; d-d transition nhi pta tha isse kuki all d
were at same energy Dr. Kuldeep Garg (KDSIR CLASS NOTES) 82
VBT ne 3d se 4d mei transfer kiya – ye transition visible range se bahar jayega ; it
does not explain spectra
4. Could not explain magnetism. He considered only spin only momenta whereas
there is orbital momenta also which is temperature independent. Magnetic
susceptibility was not explained which is temperature independent.

CRYSTAL FIELD THEORY

• Given by Ban Bathe Black
• M-L → metal ligand bond is purely electrostatic interaction
• He has SOLID STATE PHYSICS is used
• Usne solid state considered M-L do not overlap
• Ionic – strong forces
• Electrostatic – weak forces
• SUPRAMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY – chemistry beyond the molecules (weak

interactions)
• Electrostatic interaction – strongest among weak forces
HOST – GUEST CHEMISTRY and DNA – RNA – self assembly
this dipole will also interact with Mn+
ELECTROSTATIC INTERACTION
Electrostatic interaction is of 2 types
Why are we studying splitting in d – orbitals ?

Ghar mei bethe hai … bahar se koi aadmi aaya fridge mei se paani peene laga …
azeeb laga but ignore kiya thoda bohat kuch keh diya … next day fir se aaya …
100 rupees lene laga … ek chaanta maara, note wapas liya aur bhaaga diya
Next day fir se aaya … saara saaman bahar fek rha hai … dande se maar diya usko
… bahar k logo ko reason nhi pata bss ye pta hai maar lg rhi h kuch bada panga
hua hai …
M+ and d – electrons have interaction.
L- ka bhi interaction hone lga … hume nhi pta
kitna interaction hai … but ye andaaza lagaya ki
jitni ladai d – electrons and L- ki hai utna jyada
interaction M – L ka hoga
Suppose 5 people hai ; unme se 2 ki ladai ho gyi

Aur baaki 3 khush ho gye ki M+ se maze karenge

in dono ka gap UV spectroscopy se measure ho jayega
kuki UV mei valence shell k electron ki saari information mil
jaati hai
Jitna jyada difference; utna jyada Mn+ L- ka interaction

• Koi door se jaa rha hoga ; toh usse ladenge nahi … paas aake dhaka maarega
tabhi ladai hogi … similarly, when Ligand comes nearer then only d electrons
start repelling it and utni jyada splitting hogi
• Electrostatic interactions are of two types

1. Primary interaction (attraction)
2. Secondary interaction (repulsion)
➢ PRIMARY INTERACTION - This is between Metal and ligand

➢ SECONDARY INTERACTION – This is of two types
a) Between d electrons and ligands
b) Between ligand and ligand (this will define the thermodynamic stability)
Jitna M- L paas aayega ; utna jyada d electron and ligand ka repulsion hoga
Also ligand – ligand mei aapas ka repulsion jyada hoga

3 geometries are studied in CFT
1. Tetrahedral
2. Octahedral experimental
3. Cubic
➢ Square pyramidal
➢ Trigonal bipyramidal hypothetical
➢ Pentagonal bipyramidal
❖ Square planar ise defined by JTD

❖ We are studying in SOLID STATE that’s why the name is crystal field theory
and crystal mei electrostatic field generate karvaya hai
Crystals → metal oxides because application mei spinal padhte hai
Spinals are metal oxides AB2O → found in ccp or fcc
Octahedral geometry chahiye toh ligand ka attack

face center se best hoga ; when metal is in the
center of cube
❑ ORBITALS (2 type k hote hai)

• d orbitals are six in number and are of two types
1. Along the axis – dx2-y2 , dz2-x2 , dz2-y2 (dz2 is a linear combinition of these
two)
2. Between the axis – dxy, dyz, dzx
ALONG THE AXIS – 6 leaves at face centers
Dr. KULDEEP GARG

BETWEEN THE AXIS – 12 leaves at edge center

Between the axis wale lie at edge center
Along the axis wale lie at face center
• Ligands are attacking at face centers

Jab d orbitals ko pta chala ki ligand aa rha hai, toh sab excited ho gye, ligandne kha
ki mae face center se aaunga … toh face center wale orbitals dx2-y2 and dz2 excite
ho gye aur edge center wale stable ho gye aur energy kum ho gyi
Splitting is called CRYSTAL FIELD SPLITTING (CFS)
• Repulsion between dx2-y2 and dz2 is increased and repulsion between dxy, dyz
and dzx is decreased
• Upar wale k paas 60 apne the ;

• 40 neeche walo se maang liye
• Energy conserved rakhni hai
• Neeche wale ne 40 de diye upar
wale ko

TETRAHEDRAL
For tetrahedral geometry, ligand will approach from
1. Alternate edge center (wrong)
𝜃 ≠ 𝛼 ;𝑎 ≠ 𝑏
From alternate edge center, we get distorted tetrahedral
2. Ligand will approach from ALTERNATE CORNERS

Regular tetrahedral milega
Direct attack nhi ho paaya… toh ligand jiske jyada
paas se gya uska thoda jyada repulsion

Ligand ka distance (ligand is at alternate corner)
➢ From alternate edge is a/2
➢ From face center is 2 𝑎/2
a/2 is less ; therefore, ligand will approach from nearby between the axis

CUBIC
For cubic geometry, ligand will approach from all the corners
Similar to tetrahedral, between the axis wale paas honge and splitting will be
double
∆c = 2∆𝑡 (cubic has ML8 and tetrahedral has ML4)

∆𝑂 > ∆𝑐 > ∆𝑡
∆𝑡 → ligand = 4 ; ∆𝑂 → ligand = 6
Ligand = 2/3 of ∆𝑂
Orbital → 2 neeche ; Orbital → 3 neeche
2 2
Overall ∆𝑡 = × ∆𝑂

∆𝑡 = ∆𝑜 = ∆𝑐

FACTORS AFFECTING CRYSTAL FIELD SPLITTING

1. Oxidation state of central metal atom
2. Principal quantum number
3. Ligand strength
4. Number of d electrons
5. Number of ligand
6. When direction is same
Jitna jyada d- orbital mei repulsion lagega , utni jyada splitting

More attraction; more repulsion; more splitting
Attraction ∝ splitting
1. Oxidation state of central metal atom
M+ , M2+ , M3+ , M4+ - L- kispe sabse jyada attraction lagayega ?
Answer - M4+
OXIDATION STATE increases ; splitting increases

+4 oxidation state pr sab metal pairing kr rha hai ; not explained by VBT; but CFT
explains, energy difference is very large than electron cannot jump but also the
pairing energy is very high that we can pair electrons
2. PRINCIPLE QUANTUM NUMBER
Chori karna kaha se easy hai ?

Size increases ; electron is more diffused ; sheilding effect decreases ; therefore
more attraction is in 5d . More attraction ; more splitting
3d se 4d mei jaane mei 20 – 30 % increase ho jaata hai ; 4d se 5d mei jaane mei 30

– 40 % increase milta hai
• Therefore, 4d and 5d, always pairing; splitting is more
n increase ; splitting increase

3. LIGAND STRENGTH
C > N > O > Halogens (order of ligand strength)
Strength of ligand increase ; splitting increase
Ques. Splitting kis ki jyada hogi ?
[Fe(NH3)6]2+ ; [Co(NH3)6]3+
Oxidation state increase ; splitting increase ; Fe2+ and Co3+
Answer - [Co(NH3)6]3+
Ques. Splitting kis ki jyada hogi ?

[Fe(NH3)6]2+ ; [Ru(NH3)6]2+
n increase ; splitting increase ; Fe2+ (3d) and Ru2+ (4d)
Answer - [Ru(NH3)6]2+
Question. Compare 3d ka +3 and 4d ka +2 ?
Answer – no comparison
Question. 3d with CN (strong) and 4d with Cl (weak)

Answer. No comparison
4. NUMBER OF d- electrons
When O.S. ; principle quantum number ; ligand – all are same
Then only check number of d-electrons

Ligand will approach 1 easily
Number of d electrons decrease; splitting increase (the difference is about 3-4 % )
O.S. badhne pr pairing ho gyi
4d/5d mei size increase hone pr pairing ho gyi
Strong ligand aane se pairing ho gyi
But number of d electrons is not responsible for pairing
5. NUMBER OF LIGAND (when direction is same)

Consider tetrahedral and cubic – direction is same
As number of ligand increase ; splitting increase

CFSE (CRYSTAL FIELD STABLISATION ENERGY)
Also known as
1. Splitting energy
2. d-d transition

• Octahedral mei d-orbitals T2g and Eg mei split honge ; yaha high spin and low
spin complexes milenge
• Tetrahedral mei d-orbitals E and T2 mei split honge ; yaha sirf high spin
complexes milenge
• High spin – Hund’s ne kaha electron ko high spin mei pehle rakho ; (2s+1) ki
value jyada ho; means ‘s’ ki value jyada ho
• s will be more when more number of electrons are unpaired
• Low spin – that does not follow Hund’s rule

d8 mei dikhta nhi hai pr hota hai

CFSE in octahedral complexes
In high spin complexes, mean pairing energy is always zero
CFSE = −𝟎. 𝟒 × 𝑻𝟐𝒈 𝒆 + 𝟎. 𝟔 𝑬𝒈(𝒆) ∆𝒐 + 𝑴𝑷𝑬
CFSE = experimental energy – theoretical energy (or calculated energy)
CFSE is released energy ; always negative
theoretical mei 1 pair hai

experiment mei 3 pair mile
3 – 1 = 2 MPE (Mean pairing energy)

theoretical mei 1 pair
experimental mei 1 pair
mean pairing energy = 1 – 1 = 0
that’s why MPE = 0 in high spin
Note – pairing energy zero nhi hai ; mean pairing energy zero hai

2. If attack is not on 900 in the plane that consist two obitals not at 900 say dx2-y2
and dxy ; the attack is from more or less angle and dx2-y2 and dxy ko same
weightage di jayegi
3. If there is not any ligand – energy is lowest
OCTAHEDRAL –
dx2-y2 = dz2 > dxy = dyz = dzx
SQUARE PYRAMIDAL
dx2-y2 > dz2 > dxy > dyz = dzx
Number of attack is less on z axis

TRIGONAL BIPYRAMIDAL
dz2 >dx2-y2 = dxy > dyz = dzx
XY plane mei 1200 ka angle (not 900)
Therefore, dx2-y2 = dxy
PENTAGONAL BIPYRAMIDAL
dz2 >dx2-y2 = dxy > dyz = dzx
Z pr direct attack hai
XY plane mei 720 ka angle (not 900)
Therefore, dx2-y2 = dxy

JAHN TELLER DISTORTION

We will discuss following things
1. Why JTD ?
2. Where JTD ?
3. Types of JTD ?
a. Slight or strong
b. Zin or Zout
c. Dyanamic or static
• Slight – strong ka kya reason hai
• Zin – Zout mei splitting kaisi hogi – JTSE
• Dynamic and static – BSR (berry pseudo rotation)
• Dynamic and static mei transition – spectroscopy based – experimental data
• Temperature dependance – FOT (frozen out and fluxonial out temperature )
• Factors affecting JTD
• Extent of JTD in tetrahedral , TBP , square planar
• Existence – example – [Co(CN)6]4- does not exist ; [Co(CN)5(H2O)]3- exist
• [Cu(en)3]2+ does not exist ; [Cu(en)2(H2O)2]2+ exist
• Disproprtionation reaction of Au2+
❑ What is Distortion?
➢ Change in bond distance
➢ Change in bond angle

STABILITY – THERMODYNAMIC V/S KINETIC
Medicine mangvayi – khaasi hui hai
A ne kaha 100 rupees lagenge ; 3 years ka time do
B ne kaha 10000 rupees lagenge ; 2 days ka time do
We will prefer B
C ne kaha 1000 rupees mei milegi ; 3 days lagenge; we will prefer C
There is no relationship between thermodynamic and kinetic stability
• JTD gives thermodynamic stability and kinetic lability
thodi si energy dete hi upar neeche ka bond toot
k reaction karenge ; fastly
higher JTD ∝ thermal stability
higher JTD ∝ kinetic lability
Experimental = theoretical + CFSE + JTSE

1500 = 1000 (mrp) + 490 (GST + transport) + 10
JTSE is microscopic
WHY JTD ?
M-L inhe geometry se koi lena dena nhi hai ; maximum ligand chahiye metal ko
Metal – ghr mei 2 bache h ; dance kr rhe hai ; masti kr rhe hai … mamma ko gussa
aaya ; ek teacher ko bulaya ; dono bache aaram se beth gye
Bache = electrons of metal ; Dance = electronic degeneracy ; Ligand = teacher

Metal ligand se jud k apni degeneracy khatam krna chahta hai
• Half filled – no degeneracy
• Fully filled – no degeneracy
• Non filled – no degeneracy
• Jitni jyada splitting ; utna jyada destablise

L+S ki value jyada ; coupling jyada ; jyada destablise
• JTD – to remove electronic degeneracy
• WHERE JTD ?
• Jaha degeneracy wala JTD

If CFSE = 0 ; JTSE = 0
If CFSE = maximum ; JTSE = 0
If CFSE = maximum/2 ; JTSE = 0
• If degeneracy is present at that position, where ligand do direct attack; distortion
is high
• Thoda bohat farak padta hai … agar pados mei shaadi ho toh thoda bohat
excited hum bhi honge ; dx2-y2 ki energy jyada hui ; dxy ki energy bhi thodi
increase ho jayegi

• If T2g has electronic degeneracy – slight distortion

Zin and Zout

Zout – ligand dx2-y2 se aana chahte hai
More attraction of ligands with metal
More attraction ; more repulsion
dz2 door ho gya
And z ki energy kum ho gyi ; z ka bond door
Zin – ligand dz2 se aana chahte hai

More attraction of ligands with metal
More attraction ; more repulsion
And z ki energy jyada ho gyi ; xy ka bond door
NOTE- number of unpaired electrons remains same

DYNAMIC AND STATIC DISTORTION

Dynamic and static are experimental
Dynamic – kabhi Zin kabhi Zout
Static – if Zout remain Zout ; if Zin remain Zin
• Slight distortions are dynamic ;
• Strong distortions are static (but if ligands are NO2 , NO3 , NO+ with strong
distortion behave as dynamic)
• Static is found only in those compounds found in lattice

➢ [Cr(H2O)6]2+ and [Cr F6]4- Which one will show dynamic JTD?
➢ [Cr(H2O)6]2+→ Cr2+ → d4 → strong JTD
➢ But not in lattice ; therefore show dynamic
➢ [Cr F6]4-→ Cr2+ → d4 → strong JTD ; lattice mei hai – show static
➢ NOTE – strong distortions mei agar lattice energy wala hai toh voh static hi
dikhayega … but agar lattice energy wala nhi hai ; hydration energy wala hai
toh strong distortion hone pr bhi dynamic dikhane ki tendency rakhta hai
➢ Ques. Which of the following does not show dynamic JTD

a) [Cu(H2O)6]2+
b) [Ti(H2O)6]3+
c) [Fe(H2O)6]2+
d) [Cr F6]4-
Answer – (d) [Cr F6]4-
➢ Ques. Which of the following can show static JTD

a) [Cr(H2O)6]2+
b) [Ni(H2O)6]2+
c) [FeF6]3-
d) [Mn(H2O)6]2+
Answer – (a) [Cr(H2O)6]2+→ Cr2+ → d4 → strong JTD
(b) d8 (c) d5 (d) d5 no JTD

❑ [Ti Cl6]3- and [Ti(H2O)6]3+
➢ [Ti Cl6]3- → Ti3+ → d1 → static
➢ [Ti(H2O)6]3+→ dynamic
EXCEPTIONS (LEARN)
➢ [Cu(H2O)6]2+→ Zout
➢ [Cu(NO2)6]4-→ all bond length equal
➢ [Ti Cl6]3- → Zin
➢ [Ti(H2O)6]3+→all bond length equal
➢ [Cr F6]4- → Zout
➢ [Mn F6]3- → 2,2,2 distortion

[Cu(NO2)6]4-→ all bond length equal at room temperature
Berry pseudo rotation at room temperature
[Cu(NO2)6]4-→ at 298 K → all bond length equal → dynamic

[Cu(NO2)6]4-→ freeze kr diya ;we get static distortion
The temperature at which we get static distortion is known as FROZEN OUT
TEMPERATURE (FOT)
• FOT is changing because of change in counter metal with (NO2)
FOT
1. Tl2Pb[Cu(NO2)6] 245
2. K2Pb[Cu(NO2)6] 273
3. Rb2Pb[Cu(NO2)6] 276
4. Cs2Pb[Cu(NO2)6] 285
All are dynamic at room temperature ;
1. Tl2Pb[Cu(NO2)6]
2. K2Pb[Cu(NO2)6]
3. Rb2Pb[Cu(NO2)6] berry pseudo rotation increases
4. Cs2Pb[Cu(NO2)6]

Tl (p-block ; ionic) K; Rb ; Cs (s-block ; ionic)
Order of ionic character – K < Rb < Cs
Therefore, Tl < K < Rb < Cs (IONIC CHARACTER)
Covalent character ka order exactly opposite hoga ionic character k order se
• Tl2Pb[Cu(NO2)6]
• M’ [M-L] – M’ has covalent character more ; [M-L] has covalent character
• If covalent character is more; BSR (berry pseudo rotation) is more; Temperature
is very far from room temperature ;
• Jitna jyada covalent character utna jyada berry pseudo rotation; utna jyada
temperature dena pdega rotation rokne k liye ; FOT decreases
• More ionic character ; more frozen out temperature
➢ d9 → Zin / Zout ye kaise btayenge; on the basis of hints in question
• HINT – if higher energy orbital = dx2-y2 ; if unpaired electron is in dx2-y2
• Other names – Zin = tetragonally compressed
• Zout = tetragonally elongated
JAHN TELLER DISTORTION in Tetrahedral and TBP

a) 3 long ; 2 short
b) 2 long; 3 short
c) All equal
d) None of these
TBP = dz2 > dx2-y2 = dxy > dyz = dzx

DISPROPORTION of Au+2

Some special cases
• NO2 / NO3 / NO+ → dynamic
• [Co(CN)6]4- → not exist but [Co (H2O)(CN)5]3- → exist ; WHY ?
a) Due to weak ligand H2O
b) Due to JTD
c) Due to mixed weak and strong ligand
d) None of these
Answer – (b) due to JTD
[Co(CN)6]4- →Co2+ → d7
[Co (H2O)(CN)5]3-
CFS ∝ JTS ∝ JTD ∝ Thermodynamic stability
Factors affecting CFS will affect JTD
• Higher Oxidation state → higher thermal stability
• Higher principal quantim number – thermal stability
• Higher strength of ligand – thermal stability
• [Co(CN)6]4- and [Co (H2O)(CN)5]3- - higher JTD ?

Answer - [Co(CN)6]4-
CN is a good pi – acceptor , pi – bonding character ;
tension is created ; Therefore, change one ligand by H2O
• [Co (H2O)(CN)5]3- - distortion pehle se kamm ho gya
• [Co (H2O)(CN)5]3- is stable

CRYSTAL FIELDSPLITTING OF SQUARE PLANAR COMPLEX
By the help of JTD also known as potential JTD or pseudo JTD

Splitting of square planar in 4d and 5d
Eg ki splitting bohat jyada badh jaati hai

Strong distortion walo mei nhi bta paaye Zin/Zout konsa hoga
If no hint is given – mark Zout
If hint is given – 1. spliting based ; 2. reactivity based
d4 High spin – unpaired electron in
1. dx2-y2 = Zin
2. dz2 = Zout
❑ APPLICATIONS OF CFSE
1. Spinal
2. Ionic radius
3. Lattice energy
4. Hydration energy
[Co Cl6]4- Experimental = theoretical + CFSE
- 1500 = - 1000 + 500
Co-Cl → -1000 theoretically release kr rha hai pr experimental energy thodi jyada
hai ; toh shayad humne radius maan li hogi aur real mei choti hogi ; lattice energy
is inversely proportional to r ; hydration is inversely proportional to r
The experimental , theoretical and CFSE all are a kind of lattice energy
❑ SPINALS
We have to study spinals of d-block element – d0 to d10
Spinals are mixed oxides of metal
Example – FeO. Fe2O3 = Fe3O4; NiO.Cr2O3 = Fe3O4;
(Fe2+) (Fe3+)
General formula of spinal – AB2O4 and A3O4 (AA2O4)
ABCO4 is also found now ; books mei nhi aaya abhi
• A can be s-block , d-block, f-block, rarely p-block → +2 wale
• B can be d-block, p-block, f-block → +3 wale
➢ s-d block spinal → MgFe2O4
➢ d-d block spinal → Fe3O4 ; NiCr2O4
➢ f-d block spinal → YbFe2O4
➢ p-d block spinal → XeFe2O4
➢ d-p block spinal → FeAl2O4
➢ d-f block spinal → FeGd2O4
➢ All spinals here are containing d-block – abhi itna hi padhna hai

• AB2O4
Charge : x + 2y – 8 = 0
x + 2y = 8
+2 +2(+3) = 8 ; A2+ and 2 B3+ (in voids 0
T O L
• FCC has 2 types of voids
2 1 1
1. Octahedral voids
2. Tetrahedral voids
L = 4 for FCC – lattice point contain = 4 oxygen
Tetrahedral voids = 8
Octahedral voids = 4
12 voids contain A2+ and 2 B3+

Spinals are of two types

1. Normal spinals
2. Inverse spinals
NORMAL SPINALS – based on electroneutrality principle

A2+ - in tetrahedral voids
B3+ - in octahedral voids
Definition – if A2+ are present in tetrahedral voids; all B3+ are present in octahedral
voids
BOAT – normal ; B3+ - in octahedral voids ; A2+ - in tetrahedral voids

If A2+ ion occupy 1/8 th of the tetrahedral voids and if two B3+ ions occupy ½ of
the octahedral voids – NORMAL
Size of octahedral void is larger than that of tetrahedral void
Size of A2+ is more than that of B3+
❑ INVERSE SPINALS
Based on CFSE –
A2+- in octahedral voids ; B3+ - in octahedral void; B3+- in tetrahedral void
If A2+ and B3+ ion occupy 1/2 of the octahedral voids and one B3+ ion occupy 1/8th
of the tetrahedral voids – INVERSE
• A2+ ko octahedral void mei rakhne se jyada CFSE mil rhi thi

KEY POINTS
➢ All Zn2+ spinals are always NORMAL
➢ All Cr3+ spinals are always NORMAL
➢ Fe3+ spinals are inverse spinals except ZnFe2O4
➢ Al3+ spinals are normal spinals except Al Ni {NiAl2O4 is inverse}
➢ Co3+ with O are normal spinals
➢ Rest all are normal spinals
➢ Key points se pehle CFSE check kr lo

➢ A2+ ki CFSE octahedral mei agar B3+ ki CFSE (octahedral mei ) se jyada hui toh
INVERSE
➢ Example – Mn3O4 ; CoFe2O4
❑ Mn3O4
Mn2+ (High spin) – d5 CFSE = 0
Mn3+ (High spin) – d4 CFSE = - 0.6
CFSE is more of Mn3+ in octahedral ; NORMAL SPINAL
❑ CoFe2O4
Co2+ (High spin) – d7 CFSE = - 0.8
Fe3+ (High spin) – d5 CFSE = 0
CFSE is more of Co2+ in octahedral ; INVERSE SPINAL

Answer – (b)
HYDRATION AND LATTICE ENERGY
• Experimental Hydration energy = Theoretical H.E. + CFSE

• Experimental Lattice energy = Theoretical L.E. + CFSE
• Here radius is the distance divided by 2

• And distance is the distance between M and L

For d0 ; theoretical = experimental

• For d1

LIGAND FIELD THEORY

(MOLECULAR ORBITAL THEORY)
LFT- quantum mechanics se aayi hai ; yha hum wave functions ki baat krte hai
Hybrid orbital ka wave function pooch lete hai ; ya normalisation constant pooch
lete hai
• NMR/NQR / nephelauxetic effect/ ESR – sabse pta chla ki covalent nature hai
• VBT ne kaha ki bonding ki energy 2 jagah split ho gyi ;
• Question is bonding ki energy increase kaise kr rhe ho

Ligand pooch rhe hai ; jab bonding nhi kr rhe toh splitting pr kaise effect daala
➢ TWO DRAWBACKS OF CFT
1. Bonding orbital hone k baad bhi Eg ki energy kyo badhi
2. Strong ligand se pairing. Why ?
LFT ko 2 tareeke se padh sakte hai – quantum and bonding (MOT)

• Geometry hume pta hai – octahedral fixed hai ; diagram bnao
• Ligands six directions se (+) phase mei aayega
• S- center se sabse saath bonding bna rha hai

LIGAND FIELD THEORY

Ligand make group orbitals called LGOs Ligand Group Orbital
• LGOs bind with metal
• Metal(wife) ko kaha ligand (guests) aa rhe hai ; metal asks kitne aayenge ;

TRANSITION RESPONSIBLE FOR COLOUR IN COORDINATION

1. d-d transition
2. Charge transfer
➢ LMCT
➢ MLCT
➢ MMCT
➢ LLCT
• d1 to d9 except d6 , d7 low spin octahedral – d-d transition
• d0 and d10 ; d6 and d7 – low spin – charge transfer
• d0 → LMCT
Eg. KMnO4 ; CrO42- ; VO43- ; TiO44-
• d10 → LMCT or MLCT – differentiate by ligand
If ligand is π-donor → LMCT ; Eg. ZnO, CdS, CdCl2, CdBr2, CdI2
If ligand is π-acceptor → MLCT ; eg. Ni(CO)4 → d10 converted
• d6 and d7→ Low spin → MLCT because ligand is π-acceptor (if only ML type)
Otherwise
Fe4[Fe(CN)6] → MLCT
K Cr [Fe(CN)6] → MMCT
If two metals are present like this that can show variable oxidation state and are
present in different oxidation state → MMCT
Fe4[Fe(CN)6] → color is due to MMCT
LLCT – where π-π* transition is there (mainly studied in bioinorganic eg.
Porphyrin ring)
❖ TcO4- ; x – 8 = - 1 ; x = +7 ; d5s2 → d0 → LMCT

❖ HgO ; Hg2+ → d10 → π-donor → LMCT
❖ CdS ; Cd2+ → d10 → π-donor → LMCT
❖ ScO45- ; x – 8 = - 5 ; x = +3 ; Sc3+ → d0 → LMCT
❖ [Ti(H2O)6]3+ ; Ti3+ → d1 → d-d transition
❖ [Cr(H2O)6]3+ ; Cr3+ → d4s2 → d3 → d-d transition
❖ CdO ; Cd2+ → d10 → π-donor → LMCT
❖ Cr(CO)6 ; Cr0 → d4s2 → d6 Converted → MLCT
❖ Fe(CO)5 ; Fe0 → d6s2 → MLCT (learn TBP)
❖ CdCl2 ; Cd2+ → d10 → π-donor → LMCT
INTENSITY OF COLOUR
Intensity depends upon number of transition (number of electrons transfer) or
population difference in a particular time studied using BORN OPPHENER
APPROXIMATION METHOD
Intensity depends on major factors – laporte allowed ; spin allowed

Laporte (mom) Spin (dad) Intensity
Allowed allowed 100%
Partially allowed Allowed 90%
Forbidden Allowed 70%
Allowed Forbidden 40%
Partially allowed Forbidden 30%
forbidden Forbidden 20%
Kahi jaana ho toh mom ki permission secondary hai ; dad ki jaroori chahiye hi
chahiye

Intensity is asked only when same wavelength is absorbed

Major factors – laporte allowed; spin allowed
Minor factors – p-d mixing ; JTD ; different ligand ; ligand – ligand repulsion
When major factors cannot explain the intensity; then only go to minor factors
LAPORTE ALLOWED :- ∆𝑙 = ±1
SPIN ALLOWED :- ∆𝑠 = 0
In organic chemistry, color is due to g ↔ u

g-g → not possible transition
u-u → not possible transition
g ↔ u possible transition [Laporte allowed]
LAPORTE ALLOWED :- ∆𝒍 = ±𝟏
s ↔p; p ↔d; d ↔f
s p d f
g u g u
s to f is possible but we will not see any color ; visible region se bahar chla jayega
• If electron changes its spin while transition – colour will not be so intense
• If spin of electron does not change while transition – colour is intense

NOTE – all transitions are spin allowed except d5 high spin or tetrahedral
• Spin allowed is given more priority than spin forbidden
• Therefore; d5 wale hamesh less intense hoga
• Jitna jayda laporte ; utna jyada intense
• Laporte allowed – all charge transfers except MMCT

• Laporte forbidden – all d-d transition and MMCT
• Charge transfer > d-d transition (INTENSITY)

• ∆𝑙 = ±1 ∆𝑙 = 0
• ∆𝑠 = 0 ∆𝑠 = 0 and ∆𝑠 ≠ 0 for d5

d-d transitions : octahedral (ignore d5 High spin) ; ∆𝑙 = 0, ∆𝑠 = 0
tetrahedral (ignore d5) ; ∆𝑙 = 0, ∆𝑠 = 0
Ab minor factors dekhenge
MINOR FACTORS ARE
1. Permanent p-d mixing
2. Permanent different ligand
3. JTD (strong + weak)
4. Ligand-ligand repulsion
❑ P-d mixing
∆𝑙 = ±1 laporte allowed ;
pd mixing is found in tetrahedral
Therefore, tetrahedral will give intense colour than octahedral due to pd mixing
∆𝑙 = ±1 partially laporte allowed
Ques. KMnO4 ; [Co Cl4]2-; [Ti (H2O)6]3+ Order of intensity ?

Mn+7 → d0 → charge transfer
Co+2 → d7 (high spin) → d-d transition (tetrahedral)
Ti+3 → d1 → d-d transition (octahedral)
Intensity = KMnO4 > [Co Cl4]2-> [Ti (H2O)6]3+
Ques. If both are tetrahedral [Co Cl4]2-and [Co Cl2 Br2]2-

CONCEPT – jitna jyada disymmetric or center of symmetry distorted ; p-d mixing
jyada hogi
Intensity = [Co Cl4]2- < [Co Cl2 Br2]2- (number of ligands are more)
3. PERMANENT LIGAND-LIGAND REPULSION

A = [Co Cl4]2- , B = [Co Cl2 Br2]2-; C = [Co Br4]2-
Order of intensity = B > C > A
Br-Br repulsion (ligand-ligand repulsion ) is more ; more dissymetric ; more p-d
mixing ; more laporte allowed ; more intensity
Tetrahedral mei JTD nhi padhte
OCTAHEDRAL – no permanent p-d mixing

ques. Why square plannar are very less intense ?
Because mixing is s-d mixing – g-g mixing
Transition is from d tp sd ; g to gg (very less intense)
1. PERMANENT DISSYMETRIC MOLECULE (different ligand hoga toh jyada

intense color hoga
2. JTD – strong/weak – strong li intensity > weak ki intensity
3. L-L repulsion – jitna jyada bulky utna jyada intense
Ques. A = K2CrO4 ; B = MnCl42- ; C = [Mn(H2O)6]2+ ; D = [Co Cl4]2- , E = [Cr

A = K2CrO4 ; CrO42- → Cr+6 → d0 → charge transfer LMCT

B = MnCl42-; Mn+2 → d5 (high spin) → d-d transition ; laporte forbidden ; spin
forbidden
C = [Mn(H2O)6]2+ ; Mn+2 → d5 (high spin) → d-d transition ; laporte forbidden ;
spin forbidden
D = [Co Cl4]2- ; Co+2 → d7 (high spin) → d-d transition
E = [Cr (H2O)6]2+ ; Cr+3 → d3 → d-d transition ; No JTD
F = [Cu (H2O)6]2+ ; Cu+2 → d9 → d-d transition ; has JTD
G = [Cu (en)2 (H2O)2]2+ ; Cu+2 → d9 → d-d transition ; has different ligand
H = [Co Cl3Br]2- ; Co+2 → d7 (high spin) → d-d transition ; has different ligand
A (Charge transfer) > D , H (tetrahedral) > E , F , G (octahedral) > B (d5 (high

spin )tetrahedral ) > C (d5 (high spin )octahedral )

A (Charge transfer) > H (tetrahedral + different ligand) > D (tetrahedral) > G

CdS ; MnO4- ; TcO4- ; CrO4- ; Ni(CO)4
CdS – d10 (π-donor) LMCT
MnO4- ; TcO4- ; CrO4- :- d0 ; LMCT
Ni(CO)4 :- d10 converted ; MLCT (π-acceptor)
• Charge transfer : LMCT /MLCT /LLCT > MMCT
We cannot compare LMCT , MLCT , LLCT
• Among LMCT; we can compare ; similarly with MLCT and LLCT
• LMCT 2 type ka hota hai
1. p → s
2. p → d
Agar p → s k 2-3 example ho toh compare kr sakte hai
Agar p → d k 2-3 example ho toh compare kr sakte hai
But p → s wale ko p → d wale se compare nhi kr sakte hai
• LMCT – d0 → p → d
• LMCT – d10 → p → s
• MLCT – d10 → d → p
• Ligand ka orbital ; p – orbital hai
INTENSITY COMPARISON IN LMCT

• p→d LMCT
• Example:- KMnO4 , CrO42- ; VO43- ; TiO4- ; ScO45- ; :- all d0 ; LMCT
• All are tetrahedral, hybridisation of compounds is sd
• O is a weak π-donor. Electron will transfer from p-orbital to d-orbital of metal
• Sc3+ ; Ti4+ ; V5+ ; Cr6+ ; Mn7+ ; oxidation state increases ; intensity increases
•

2p and 3d have fixed energies, but we know as oxidation state increases ; splitting
increases and gap between 2p and e of 3d metal decreases. Thus electron will
transfer more and more from 2p to 3d , intensity increases
• Order of intensity:- KMnO4 > CrO42- > VO43- > TiO4- > ScO45-
• Gate 2011 – sabse kum wavelength ki energy kisme use hogi
• CrO42- ; MnO4- , TiO44- ; VO43- ;
• Cr+6 ; Mn+7 ; Ti+4 ; V+5
• Size - Mn+7 < Cr+6 < V+5 < Ti+4
• Jaha M-L bond length sabse kum hogi; waha pr sabse kum energy chahiye ; Ti+4
mei we need more energy and therefore we need shortest wavelength
• Ques. MnO4- , TcO4- ; ReO4- ; more intense ?

• Mn+7 ; Tc+7 ; Re+7
• 3d 4d 5d ; answer (a) MnO4-
• ReO4- is colourless ; MnO4- > TcO4- > ReO4-
• Almost all 5d metal complexes are colourless
• p-d transition depends upon metal orbital splitting (major factor)

❑ p→s LMCT
• L (π-donor) (p) → metal(s)
• Metal s mei electron tb lega jb d filled hoga ; therefore, d10
• d0 wale tetrahedral ki splitting se dekhte hai
• d10 wale octahedral ki splitting se dekhte hai
• d10 hai – no effect on splitting; here ligand is changed
• Comparison is asked between CdCl2/ CdBr2/ CdI2
• Comparison is asked between CdO/ CdS/ CdSe
• Order of intensity = CdO < CdS < CdSe
• Order of intensity = CdCl2< CdBr2< CdI2

• Shortest wavelength kon absorb krega ? CdSe or CdS
Answer. CdS kuki energy jyada hai ; wavelength short hai
• Compare the intensity of PbS and PbO

• Answer- PbO < PbS

Due to strong JTD

In d1 we get a

❑ Covalent character / ionic character
Nephelauxetic parameter / Nephelauxetic effect
When metal was in free ion, it was having more electron – electron repulsion ; so it
binds with ligand , interelectronic repulsion was reduced
Overlapping se interelectronic repulsion kum ho gya; covalent character badh gya

M – free ion → interelectronic repulsion = 1000
Jitni jyada repulsion ; utna jyada Nephelauxetic effect
F, I – overlapping jyada hai I mei ; Nephelauxetic effect more of I
Soft ligand is I ; Nephelauxetic effect is more because overlapping is more
M in complex – interelectronic repulsion – 900 (less overlap)
800 (more overlap)

Nephelauxetic effect is more when covalent character is more ; overlapping is more
; I ka jyada hai ; F ka kum
Nephelauxetic ratio ; I ka kum hai ; F ka jyada
Covalent character = (𝟏 − 𝜷) × 𝟏𝟎𝟎

Covalent character = (1 − 0.9) × 100= 10% covalent character

MAGNETISM
2 jagah magnetism padhte hai ; physics mei aur chemistry mei ; dono ka aapas mei
koi relation nhi hai
• Physics sirf solid state ko consider krte hai
• Chemistry mei hum free metal ion and complex metal ion ko alag study krte hai
• Magnetic properties – diamagnetic hai ya paramagnetic hai
❑ Diamagnetic
Apply external force – repelled by opposite spin electrons
Diamagnetism is due to pairedDr.electrons

Kuldeep Garg (KDSIR CLASS NOTES) 280
❑ Paramagnetic
Apply external field – all add up
Paramagnetism is due to orbital motion as well as spin motion
• Magnetic field is generated by vibrations od electrons due to electric field

Slope 1 = paramagnetic susceptibility
Slope 2 = diamagnetic susceptibility
8 paired electrons diamagnetism show karenge but 1 unpaired electron show Para
magnetism and compound becomes Para magnetic

𝜒𝑚 =Molar susceptibility
𝜒𝑚 𝑃 = molar paramagnetic susceptibility
𝜒𝑚 𝐷 = molar diamagnetic susceptibility
But 𝜒𝑚 𝑃 is neglected
𝜒𝑚 = 𝜒𝑚 𝑃 magnetic momenta

𝜒𝑚 𝑃 is defined by 2 laws
1. Curie law (only paramagnetic)
2. Curie weiss law
• Ferromagnetism
• Antiferromagnetism
• Ferrimagnetism
❑ Diamagnetism
It is temperature dependent
❑ Paramagnetism is possible because of two reasons
1. Orbital motion
2. Spin motion
This study is theoretical, we will study afterwards
Now we are studying experimental things – that comes under physics
Paramagnetic – 3 jagah divide kiya

1. Ferromagnetic
2. Anti ferromagnetic
3. Ferrimagnetic
These 3 terms are used only in solid state
Two people – alag-alag dance kr rhe hai ; door-door hai jab ; therefore gaseous
state mei electrons ko ek doosre se koi lena dena nhi hai ; but when they come
closer; they will dance according to each other ; ya dono same dance karenge ; ya
ek khada hoke dance karega aur doosra jameen pr let k

In solid state they show cooperative magnetism
These are known as cooperative paramagnetism or supportive paramagnetism

• Curie law for paramagnetism
𝜇𝑒𝑓𝑓2×𝑁𝐴2
• 𝜒𝑚 = ; 𝜒𝑚 is magnetic susceptibility = tendency to magnetise

• 𝜒𝑚 ∝ ; 𝜒𝑚 = ; where c = curie constant ; c =
𝑇 𝑇 3𝑅
• As temperature increases ; 𝜒𝑚 decreases
1 𝑇
• = ; 𝜒𝑚T = c
𝜒𝑚 𝑐

Curie weiss law
𝑐
𝜒𝑚 =
𝑇−𝜃
If 𝜃 is positive; T decreases; 𝜒𝑚 increases ; ferromagnetic
If 𝜃 is negative; T increases; 𝜒𝑚 decreases ; anti ferromagnetic
Tc = curie temperature
Tn = neel temperature
For supportive paramagnetism
𝜇𝑒𝑓𝑓 = 2.84 𝜒𝑚(𝑇 − 𝜃) 𝐵. 𝑀.
Jis temperature pr ferromagnetic behave as paramagnetic – Tc
Jis temperature pr antiferromagnetic behave as paramagnetic - TN

Paramagnetism – randomness – entropy is high
Ferrimagnetism – no randomness – alignment – entropy is low
MAGNETISM IN CHEMISTRY
2 parts mei padhenge – orbital motion and spin motion
• ORBITAL MOTION – paired and unpaired electrons show orbital motion
• SPIN MOTION – paired electrons cancel spin motion of each other ; unpaired
electrons give spin motion
• Spin motion k liye ek electron ka unpaired hona jaroori hai … but orbital
motion k liye electron ka unpair hona jaroori nhi hai
• If compound mei sab electrons paired hai ; tb bhi paramagnetic susceptibilty
kuch mil rhi hai toh orbital motion ki wajah se mil rhi hogi

ORBITAL PARAMAGNETISM IS TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT
Eg. KMnO4 – show paramagnetism
Chemistry paramagnetism (when unpaired electron is present)
• Free metal ion
➢ Orbital motion – hoga
➢ Spin motion – hoga
Unmarried – awaaragardi hogi ; may be spin and orbital do coupling
• Complex ion
➢ Orbital motion – nhi hoga
➢ Spin motion – hoga
Married – awaaragardi nhi kr sakte ; orbitals are quenched
𝜇𝑆 = 𝑛(𝑛 + 2 ) 𝐵. 𝑀. - spin only magnetic momenta
Jb orbital quench ho gye ; toh spin only wale k equal aane chahiye ; but aisa nhi
hua ;
Therefore, there is some orbital contribution. But if there is no orbital contribution
still there is deviation in magnetic momenta . That will be due to first order

REACTION MECHANISM OF COORDINATION COMPLEX
We need basic tools for reaction mechanism.

Reaction mechanism mei jab hum substitution karte hai toh 3 types se krte h
1. Dissociative
2. Associative
3. Interchange
General graph
R = reactant
I = intermediate
P = product
Types of reaction
Stoichiometric reactions Intimate reaction

Thermodynamic potential energy Kinetic activation energy
Jb compoumd (*) marks pr hoga … tb uski kinetic stability dekhenge

Jb compound (–) marks pr hoga tb uski thermodynamic stability dekhenge
Neeche walo se thermodynamic k baare mei information milegi

Upar walo se kinetic k baare mei information milegi
Stability is of two types in reaction mechanism

1. Thermodynamic stability
2. Kinetic stability
There is no relation between thermodynamic and kinetic stability

What is stability ?
Suppose , two students se water mangaya … A ne kaha laa denge … give 100 rupees
B ne kaha 1 lakh dedo …
Sir ne A wale se manga liya … jis reaction mei hume km energy deni pde … usko
thermodynamic stable compound mil gya
A ne 100 rupe toh liye pr 5 years baad water laake diya … isko kinetic kehte hai
Koi compound bohat saari energy release krke bn toh gya … pr 1 second mei hi khatam
ho gya … half life time bohat kum tha … isko kinetic unstable kahenge
Bn toh gya … but uski age kya hai …
• Koi compound jyada energy release krke bna … aur half life time bhi acha hai … this
is known as thermodynamic stable and kinetic stable
• Koi compound jyada energy release krke bna … aur half life time kum hai … this is
known as thermodynamic stable and kinetic unstable
• Koi compound kum energy release krke bna … aur half life time bhi acha hai … this
is known as thermodynamic unstable and kinetic stable
Thermodynamic stability
1. Stable – perfect
2. Unstable – imperfect
Kinetic stability
1. Stable – inert
2. Unstable – labile
Example - [Cu(H2O)6]2+ this is thermodynamically stable but highly inert

Studied in JTD
example - [Hg(CN)4]2+ this is thermodynamically stable but highly labile
Question poochne k tareeke se pta lg jayega ki konsi stabilty pooch rha h

Rate ki baat hogi toh kinetic wali pooch rhe h
General pooch rha h toh thermodynamic wali pooch rha hai
THERMODYNAMIC STABILITY
Jab hum reaction karvate hai … complex bnate hai … hum complex bnate nhi hai … substitution
krvate hai …
Metals are in aqueous solutions in original form … H2O decide karega ki metal ko jaane dega ya
nhi doosre ligand k saath …
Water ligand is replaced by other ligands
• M(H2O) complex + 100000 → M(L) … no reaction
Kabhi toh water ne kaha ki 1 lakh rupe do aur metal ko le jao … ligand ne kaha hume ni chahiye …
reaction nhi hui
• M(H2O) complex → M(L) + 100000… no reaction
Water ne ligand ko metal bhi de diya aur 10000 rupe bhi diye … reaction is possible
Jitna jyada formation constant hoga … utna jyaada M-L complex bn rha hoga ∆𝐺 = 𝑛𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 -
energy is released that’s why product form ho rha hai …
• ∆𝑮 = −𝐑𝐓 𝐥𝐧𝐊 ;K = equilibrium constant
∆𝑮
• 𝒍𝒏𝑲 = −
𝑹𝑻
K jitna jyada , ∆𝐺 utna negative ; aur compound thermodynamically stable hoga

∆𝑮 = ∆𝑯 − 𝑻∆𝑺
∆𝐺 = 𝑛𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 hone k liye ∆𝐻 = 𝑛𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 and ∆𝑆 = 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒
▪ ∆𝑯 kaha kaha se nikal k aati hai
➢ CFSE – jitni jyada CFSE ; utni jyada thermodynamic stability
➢ JTD – JTSE mili ; type of enthalpy
➢ Metal ligand strength
➢ Z effective
▪ ∆𝑺 = 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆
➢ Chelation; jitna jyada chelation
▪ ∆𝑯 and ∆𝑺 both se related factors

➢ Macrocyclic ligand
➢ Resonance factor (aromatic ring)
➢ Clathrate factor (cryptands)

BASED ON EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT
Formation of compound - types se hota h

➢ Stepwise formation ; k1; k2; k3; k4
➢ Overall formation ; 𝛽𝑛
➢ Overall 𝛽𝑛
[ML6]
M (aq) + L ML6 ; 𝛽𝑛 = 𝑀 𝐿 6
➢ Stepwise

𝛽3 = 𝑘3. 𝑘2. 𝑘1
𝛽𝑛 = 𝑘1. 𝑘2.𝑘3… 𝑘𝑛
Overall formation constant = multiplication of stepwise formation constant
∆𝐺 = −RT ln𝛽𝑛
Generally, 𝒌𝟏> 𝒌𝟐> 𝒌𝟑> 𝒌𝟒> 𝒌𝟓> 𝒌𝟔
Some cases are there ,where 𝑘1 is not the greatest
1. When compound changes its geometry … octahedral se tetrahedral mei change ho rha ho
2. When compound changes its spin … high spin se low spin mei convert ho rha ho
entropy
𝑘
Example – [Cd(H2O)6]2+ + Br- 1
[Cd(H2O)5Br]+ + H2O n = 0
[Cd(H2O)5Br]+ + Br- 𝑘2 [Cd(H2O)4Br2] + H2O n=0
[Cd(H2O)4Br2] + Br- 𝑘3 [Cd(H O) Br ]- + H O n=0

[Cd(H2O)3Br3]- + Br- 𝑘4 [CdBr4] 2- + 3H2O n=4–2=2
𝑘1> 𝑘2> 𝑘3< 𝑘4
This order can be explained on the basis of entropy
Jitne number of molecule badhenge utni entropy increase hogi
Fourth step mei entropy increase ho gyi … iss liye rate jyada ho gya
NOTE :
[Co(H2O)6]2+
[Ni(H2O)6]2+ + Cl / Br / I - octahedral se tetrahedral mei change hoga
[Cu(H2O)6]2+ 𝒌𝟏> 𝒌𝟐> 𝒌𝟑< 𝒌𝟒

Example –
𝑘1
2+
[Fe(H2O)6] + bpy [Fe(H2O)4bpy]2+ + 2 H2O
𝑘2
[Fe(H2O)4bpy]2+ + bpy [Fe(H2O)2(bpy)2]2+ + 2 H2O
[Fe(H2O)2(bpy)2]2+ + bpy 𝑘3 [Fe(bpy)3]2+ + 2 H2O
Order = 𝒌𝟏> 𝒌𝟐< 𝒌𝟑
[Fe(H2O)6]2+ - Fe2+ → d6 → high spin → CFSE = - 0.4 ∆𝑜

[Fe(bpy)3]2+ - Fe2+ → d6 → low spin → CFSE = - 2.4 ∆𝑜
Yaha humne enthalpy factor k basis pr explain kiya
High spin se low spin complex mei change ho gya … CFSE mei change aa gya …
rate of formation constant ka order change ho gya … general wala nhi aaya
FACTORS AFFECTING THE STABILITY OF COMPLEXES

KINETIC STABILITY
Compounds that were kinetically stable – Inert
Compounds that were kinetically unstable – Labile
➢ Labile will react fast; inert will react slow
➢ Labile complexes show dissociation reaction
➢ Inert complexes show association reaction
➢ Dissociation – seat khali kr k chala gya koi … aaram se beth jao
➢ Association – koi aaya … kisi doosre se jabardasti seat khali krvayi aur fir betha
➢ Dissociation is better than association.

➢ Half life time ; t1/2 > 1 minute – inert
➢ Half life time ; t1/2 < 1 minute – labile
➢ Half life time ; t1/2 = 1 minute – moderate – Ni
➢ On the basis of VBT

All outer sphere complexes are labile – sp3d2 ; Ni – moderate

Inner sphere orbital complexes having any low – lying empty d-orbital – labile

block wala jyada inert
ON THE BASIS OF CFT
Reaction mechanism
If CFSE of substrate is less and CFSE of intermediate is more ; the substrate is called labile
Bodse and Pearson gave an experimental table
Difference between CFSE of intermediate and substrate
CFSE of I = -2.0 ; CFSE of substrate = -1.2 ;
Intermediate ki CFSE – substrate ki CFSE = -2.0 – (-1.2 ) = - 0.8 (agar negative hoga toh labile)
In some books ; substrate – intermediate = -1.2 – (-2.0) = + 0.8

We are studying , substrate – intermediate
For labile ; positive
For inert ; negative

REACTION MECHANISM
3 routes hote hai
1. Dissociative mechanism → dissociation activation (Dd)
2. Association mechanism → association activation (Aa)
3. Interchange mechanism → associative activation (Ia)
→ dissociative activation (Id)
Ia – I denotes the type of mechanism and jo subscript mei likha hai voh batata hai ki kis
type ka activation hai
Reaction ko 2 methods se padh sakte hai

➢ Stoichiometric calculations
o Thermodynamic stability
o Minima of curve
➢ Intimation calculations
o Kinetic stability
o Maxima of curve

LIGANDS
Ligands two types k hote hai
1. Auxiliary ligand or spectator ligand
➢ Trans auxiliary ligand (TAL) – 1800 to the leaving ligand
➢ Cis auxiliary ligand (CAL) – 900 to the leaving group
2. Leaving ligand
TAL k case mei hum electronic factors dekhte hai
Agar TAL leaving ligand k saamne lga hota hai; aur agar voh pi donor ligand hai toh leaving
ligand easily remove ho jaata hai
Agar CAL is pi- donor ; no effect ; dz2 mei electron hi nhi aaye

CAL k case mei sterric factor dekhte hai ;
Agar cis position pr big groups lg jayenge to leaving ligand ko nikalna hi padega
Sterric factor ka TAL k liye koi effect nhi hoga kuki voh door ho jaata hai

Effect of TAL and CAL
If TAL is a pi – donor ;
It increases electron density on metal
Then L leaves fastly
Rate is fast
Example – I. [ML4IX] X is a leaving group
II. [ML4FX] X is a leaving group
Both are trans
I is a better pi donor than F
Rate – I > II
If TAL is a good pi – acceptor ; electron density M pr kum ho gyi toh metal ligand se

INTERCHANGE MECHANISM
Two types of activation

• Associative activation Ia
• Dissociative activation Id
ML5X +𝑌 Y---- ML5----X ML5Y

Removal of X is fast ; addition of Y is fast

❑ Associative Ia
Bond formation > bond breaking
❑ Dissociative Id
Bond breaking > bond formation
Interchange mechanism is mostly found in INERT complexes

[Ru ((CH2 P(Ph)2)2)2] – neutral ligand hai
Ru0 → d8 converted – square planar
[Os ((CH2 P(Me)2)2] – neutral ligand hai

Os0 → d8 converted – square planar
Wilkinson catalyst - [Rh (PPh3)3 Cl ] →dsp2
Ziess’s salt – [Pt Cl3 (C2H4) ] - → Pt2+– square planar

Example –
[Au F4]- → Au3+– square planar
[Ag F4]- → Ag3+– square planar
What is the structure of [Pd (PNP) CH3 ] ?

PNP = N,N’-bis(diphenylphosphine)-2,6-di
PNP is a negative ligand

Rate of substitution = Ni2+ > Pt2+ > Pd2+ < Au2+

KINETICS
Rate = k1[complex] + k2[complex][Y]
first order second order
[Y] pr rate depend karta hai …
if concentration of Y is excess → Rate is pseudo first order reaction
If [Y] is not in excess → reaction is second order reaction
Rate = [complex] [k1 + k2[Y]]
Rate = Kobs [complex]
Where, Kobs= [k1 + k2[Y]]
If [Y] = excess ; Kobs= k1

• Intermediate formed here is TBP
• Mechanism is associative
• We get retention of configuration
• SOLVATO MECHANISM – if solvent behave as nucleophile; pehle solvent jaake
lag jayega … uske baad main ligand solvent ki jagah lag jayega

When solvent takes part in the reaction
Rate = k1[complex][S] + k2[complex][Nu] → second order kinetics
Rate ={ k1 [S] + k2 [Nu]} [complex]

Rate = Kobs [complex]
Where; Kobs ={ k1 [S] + k2 [Nu]}
TRANS EFFECT
Trans effect depends upon two things
TI = trans influence – ground state effect – thermodynamic effect
TS = transition state – excited position effect – kinetic effect
CN > CO > NO > C2H5 > PR3 > H > C6H5 > NO2 > I > SCN > Br > Cl > Py > NH3 >
OH- > H2O
COORDINATION CHEMISTRY LECTURE NO. 9(RM)
Trans effect
1. TIE – ground state pr lagta hai
2. TSE – excited state pr lagta hai
Ye dono effect TAL ki wajah se lagte hai
Rate is highly affected by TAL in square planar complexes

CAL se bhi effect lagega – crowding effect ; lekin ye minor hoga
If crowding is more – rate of reaction should be slow
Here we are not studying dissociative mechanism, we are studying associative

mechanism
1
Crowding ∝ 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 this is for associative mechanism

TIE – thermodynamic effect → sigma bond tendency or sigma donor capacity or sigma
bond strength .
Sigma bond jo jyada ache se kama raha hoga uska trans influence utna jyada hoga
H > CH3
H is better sigma donor
Ground state se excited state mei

jaane ko ready hai
Transition state → excited position effect → KINETIC EFFECT → pi acceptor tendency
Metal k electron leke beth jayega TAL fir metal associate karega incoming ligands ko ;
If transition state is stable ; reaction will go in forward reaction

Trans influence ground state effect → ground state ki energy increase kr rha hai
Transition state – excited state effect → excited state ya transition state ki energy
decrease kr rha hai
Pi acceptor is given more priority over sigma donor when we have to do comparison
TRANS INFLUENCE EFFECT (BASED ON SIGMA DONOR)

INNER SPHERE MECHANISM

• Bridging ligand is must ; Electron transfer via bridging ligand
• In outer sphere mechanism ; no bridging ligand ; electron transfer cannot take place
via bridging ligand ; electron transfer via tunneling
• STEPS OF INNER SPHERE MECHANISM

1. Association
2. Bridge formation
3. Electron transfer
4. Bridge breaking
5. Aquation
• [Co (NH3)5 Cl ]2+ (aq) + [Cr (H2O)6 ]2+ (aq)

• Inert (generally) labile
• [Co (NH3)5 Cl ]2+ (have bridging ligand ; labile ya inert kuch bhi ho sakta hai ; lekin
water se react nhi karega agar labile hoga )
[Co (NH3)5 Cl ]2+ (aq) + [Cr (H2O)6 ]2+ (aq)
association
[Co (NH3)5 Cl ]2+ -------- [Cr (H2O)6 ]2+ (aq)

bridge formation
[(NH3)5 Co ]2+ ------ Cl ------- [Cr (H2O)6 ]2+
[(NH3)5 Co3+ ------ Cl ------Cr 2+ (H2O)6 ]4+

electron transfer Cr2+ se Co3+ electron transfer
[(NH3)5 Co2+ ------ Cl ------Cr 3+ (H2O)6 ]4+

bridge breaking Cl will go to inert
Cr3 + → d3 - inert
[Co (NH3)5 ]2+ (aq) + [Cr (H2O)5 Cl ]2+ (aq) Co2 + → d7

[Co (NH3)5 ]2+ (aq) H2O [Co (H2O)6 ]2+ (aq)
labile aquation
RATE DETERMINING STEP
Jo step hona nahi chahta ; slow hoga ; rate determining step hoga
1. Association – no problem
2. Bridge formation – no problem
3. Electron transfer – labile se inert ; ek inert se labile {aisa ku hone dega}
Generally, electron transfer is a slow step and rate determining step
❖ When bridging ligand is good
❖ Complex without bridging ligand is labile
If compound without bridging ligand is inert

Then RDS changes; say , [Cr (H2O)6 ]2+ - labile is replaced by [V (H2O)6 ]2+ - inert
Bridge formation gets difficult because both are inert

Therefore, RDS is bridge formation
IF ELECTRON TRANSFER IS THE RDS

• Good bridging ligand
• Non bridging complex – labile
after electron transfer
Inert ------bridge------labile
Labile------bridge-------inert
If inert-------bridging ligand-------- inert

Now RDS is bridge breaking because bridging ligand will get confused ki mae kaha jau ?
90% case – bridging ligand does not transfer
Ex - [Ru (NH3)5 Cl ]2+ + [Cr (H2O)6 ]2+ (in this case bridge breaking is the RDS)
after electron transfer

[Ru (NH3)5 ]2+ (Inert) + [Cr (H2O)6 ]3+ (Inert)
[Ir Cl6 ]2- (aq) + [Cr (H2O)6 ]2+ (aq)
association

Sulphur can make bridge like
[(NH3)5 Co2+ ------ S ------Cr 3+ (H2O)5 ]

CN
This is known as adjacent attack
Therefore, [Cr (H2O)5 (SCN) ]2+ (30%)

[Co (NH3) X ] + [Cr (H2O)6 ]
Rate depends on X ligands

1. Inorgaanic – more polarisibilty ; rate fast
2. Organic - -I effect more ; rate fast
No comparison between inorganic and organic ligand
Example : H2O ; NCS ; SCN ; F ; Cl ; I

Order of polarisibility – I > Cl > F > SCN > NCS > H2O > NH3
(fastest) (slowest)
Question – X kb dekhna hai ?
When RDS is electron transfer. Rate of reaction depends upon transfer of electron via
bridging ligand
Jb bridging ligand easily electron transfer karva de – rate jyada
ORGANIC LIGANDS
Rate = IV > III > II > I
SUMMARY OF INNER SPHERE MECHANISM

• Good bridging ligand
• Complex without bridging ligand is labile
➢ RDS = electron transfer

• When complex without bridging ligand is inert say [V (H2O)6]2+
RDS = bridge formation
• After electron transfer; if we get inert-----bridging ligand-----inert
RDS = bridge breaking
• When remote attack is mentioned in case of SCN ligand – NCS wala product
• When adjacent attack is mentioned in case of SCN ligand – SCN wala product
• When nothing is mentioned – NCS ( 70%) + SCN (30%)
OUTER SPHERE MECHANISM
Simple – Fe-Fe (graph based question)

Cross – Fe-Ru (numerical based question)
[M(n+1) Lx ] + Mm+ Ly
M is same ; M can be different
Conditions
• Non bridging complex should be inert 5%
• No bridging ligand 95%
❖ Rate of outer sphere reaction is 104 times slower than inner sphere reaction
❖ In outer sphere – electron transfer through tunneling
❖ Tunneling tb hoti hai jb dono complex ki bond length ek jaisi ho jaye due to
vibration – elongation and compression
❖ Rate of vibration is 104 times slower than electron transfer
❖ Vibration hone k baad electron transfer hoga iss liye outer sphere reaction 104
times slower hogi

Mechanism –
1. [Mn+1Lx] + [Mm+Ly] [Mn+1Lx -------Mm+Ly]
Precursor complex
2. Reorganisation of precursor complex (through solvent)

3. Electron transfer
[Mn+1Lx -------Mm+Ly] [Mn+1Lx] + [Mm+Ly]
4. Dissociation of successor complex

[Mn+Lx -------Mm+1Ly] [Mn+Lx] + [Mm+1Ly]

‡ ‡ ‡ ‡
∆𝐺 = ∆𝐺 t + ∆𝐺 o + ∆𝐺 i
‡
∆𝐺 t = energy used to bring the complexes near and far in first step and last step
‡
∆𝐺 o = energy used for organisation by solvent
‡
∆𝐺 i = energy required to make bond lengths equal

Fe2+→ bond compression
Gap is less , when ligand will come closer ; repulsion will increase ; splitting will
increase
Fe3+→ bond elongation

When ligand will go far, repulsion decrease; splitting will decrease
RATE OF OUTER SPHERE REACTION
Depends upon 2 factors. (experimentally observed)

POSTULATES OF WERNER THEORY

Primary valency → Oxidation state of central metal atom

Primary valency is ionizable, whereas secondary valency is non-ionizable

Primary Valency can be satisfied only by negative ion

Primary valency → O.S. → Ionizable → negative → non-directional

Secondary valency → C.N. → non-ionisable → negative / neutral → directional
