Coordination Complex
Covered previously (to some degree as
complex ions) in Chapter 16, but focus now
is on molecular scale view
Coordination complexes consist of:
metal ion (typically same charge as will exist in
water although stability of different oxidation
states – such as Fe
2+
 vs. Fe
3+
 can change)
ligand(s)
counter ions (not part of complex, but associated
with complex ion)
Chapter 24 Transition Metals
 
Coordination Complex – cont.
Both the metal (covered more later in the
chapter) and ligand affect the type of
coordination complex formed
Types of ligands:
monodentate (one metal – ligand bond per
ligand)
bidentate (two metal – ligand bonds per ligand –
so requires to parts of ligand capable of acting as
Lewis bases)

Naming ligands:
Neutral ligands are given molecule names (e.g.
ethylenediamine) except for:
H

O = aqua
NH

 = ammine
CO = carbonyl
Anionic ligands are changed from anion:
-ide becomes -o
-ate becomes -ato
-ite becomes -ito
Chapter 24 Transition Metals
 
Coordination Complex – Naming
Compounds
Naming ligands:
List names of ligands in alphabetical order before
cation name
Prefixes used to indicate number of ligands (di-,
tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-) or bis- , tris- if ligand
name already has prefix or for polydentate
Metal names (Depends on complex charge):
Cations (metal name same as in ionic compounds)
Anions (metal – or Latin root – ending in ate)

Coordination Complex – Isomers
Stereoisomers – cont.
The stereoisomers mentioned so are geometric
isomers that will have different properties (even if
only slight differences)
Another class is optical isomers, which have
(mostly) identical properties; except that each
isomer will rotate light differently (and can
interact differently with other “chiral” molecules)
A test for an optical isomer is if its mirror image is
non-superimposeable (unique)

Coordination Complex – Bonding Theory

Theory
For covalent bonds (valence bond theory)
overlap occurs between atomic orbitals from
each atom (e.g. 1s in H and sp

 hybrid
orbitals in C in CH
4
)
For coordination compounds, however,
electrons come fully from ligands
Chapter 24 Transition Metals
 
Coordination Complex – Bonding Theory
– cont.
For example, in [Zn(OH)
4
]
2-
, bonding orbitals
can come from empty 4sp
3
 on Zn
2+
 and filled
2p orbitals on O. (All electrons from O)
However, for square planar and octahedral
complexes, non empty d orbitals play a role
(hybrid orbitals must have d character)
Chapter 24 Transition Metals
 
Coordination Complex – Bonding Theory
– cont.
To understand how electrons in the d shells
influence bonding, we must understand the
shapes of d orbitals
Two different classes of d orbitals occurs
Off axes orbitals

Today's lecture covers transition elements, coordination complexes, ligand types, geometries, naming, isomers, and bonding in coordination complexes. Transition metals form coordination complexes with metal ions, ligands, and counter ions. The types of ligands include monodentate and bidentate ligands, which influence the coordination complex formed. Examples and common geometries like linear, square planar, tetrahedral, and octahedral are discussed with visual representations.
