19.2 Coordination Chemistry of Transition Metals - Chemistry - 0 views

  • The Naming of Complexes The nomenclature of the complexes is patterned after a system suggested by Alfred Werner, a Swiss chemist and Nobel laureate, whose outstanding work more than 100 years ago laid the foundation for a clearer understanding of these compounds. The following five rules are used for naming complexes:

  • Summary The transition elements and main group elements can form coordination compounds, or complexes, in which a central metal atom or ion is bonded to one or more ligands by coordinate covalent bonds. Ligands with more than one donor atom are called polydentate ligands and form chelates. The common geometries found in complexes are tetrahedral and square planar (both with a coordination number of four) and octahedral (with a coordination number of six). Cis and trans configurations are possible in some octahedral and square planar complexes. In addition to these geometrical isomers, optical isomers (molecules or ions that are mirror images but not superimposable) are possible in certain octahedral complexes. Coordination complexes have a wide variety of uses including oxygen transport in blood, water purification, and pharmaceutical use.

Study Notes: Absorption of UV-Vis Radiation by Transition Metal Complexes - 0 views

  • When ligands bond to a transition metal ion to form a complex, electrons in the ligands and electrons in the five d orbitals of the metal ion repel each other. The net effect is that the energies of the d orbitals are raised, however they are split into two groups of differing energy.
