Draw the appropriate completely Orgel Diagram and use it to assign elctronic transition/s to any of these bands , confirming the colour of the complex
Generally speaking, for a given metal and ligand, the stability of a coordination compound is greater for the metal in the +3 rather than in the +2 oxidation state (for metals that form stable +3 ions in the first place). Suggest an explanation, keeping in mind the Lewis acid–base natureof the metal–ligand bond.
In general, would you expect EDTA4- to coordinate to transition metal ions more or less strongly than ethylenediamine does? Justify your answer with a reason other than the different charges on the two ligands.
Why is the pH of the medium important for the formation of chelated complexes between metal ions and ligands? Choose the best answer: Select one: a. Because the ligands give rise to acid-base reactions that influence the stability of the chelate b. Because if the pH is not very acidic, the ligands do not protonate and the complex cannot form c. Because the pH of the medium is always important for any type of reaction. d. Because in the absence of pH there is no reaction of any kind
Although EDTA has, in its fully protonated form, four hydrogen atoms that can be lost, it is listed as a hexadentate ligand. Explain why this is the case
By using the given 1) electronic absorption spectrum, 2) the Tanabo-Sugano diagram for d3 complex in octahedral ligand field and 3) the absorption/emission spectra, explain the following: a) Ligand field states (to support your explanation show the filling of the orbitals) b) Radiative transitions (to support your explanation refer to fluorescence, phosphorescence and Stokes’ shift)
a) Give one similarity and one difference between “monodentate” and “bidentate” ligands. b) Which one of the types of ligands named in part “b” is more closely related to the term “chelating agent”? Please explain.
Many transition metal complexes are said to follow the “18-electron rule,” meaning they form particularly stable complexes when the metal + ligand electrons contributing to the MOs add up to a total of 18 electrons. a. Use the full MO diagram for an octahedral metal complex with pi-acidic ligands we derived in class to justify why 18-electrons might be particularly stable. b. Use the 18-electron rule to predict which 1st row transition metal would be most likely to form an octahedral M(CO)6 (Note: there is no charge; the metal retains all its electrons.) c. Qualitatively, how would you expect the CO bond to change when it forms this complex? Would it be stronger, weaker, or the same compared to free CO? (Hint: think about what a ? −???? means and what the orbital does from the perspective of the M–CO interaction as well as the C– O interaction).
the spectrochemical series allows us to explain the variety ofcolors observed in transition metal complexes. But in practice, someone attempting to predictthe properties of compounds can occasionally be frustrated by various complicating factors.For instance, the nitrite ligand is presented as having a high field strength, but that is only whenit is the nitrogen of the nitrite that is coordinating to the metal center. Nitrite is also capable ofbinding to the metal center through an oxygen, and when this happens, nitrite is a low fieldstrength ligand. Furthermore, many metals initially precipitate as simple ionic salts before theyhave a chance to form more soluble complex ions. And occasionally, unexpected redoxreactions can lead to complex mixtures. Despite these complications, the spectrochemical series remains a powerful predictivetool for inorganic chemists. New ligands are being developed all the time, and each new ligandneeds to be placed, at least approximately, on the…
