Coordination Chemistry

It is a part of chemistry, in which the study of compounds that have central atoms surrounded by molecules or ions, known as ligand, is known as coordination chemistry.

Is it possible for a complex of a metal in the transition series to have six unpaired electrons? Explain.
Consider the [Ir2(dimen)4] 2+ complex. Notice that the dimen ligand is asymmetric. There is also a different, symmetric diisocyano ligand referred to as “TM4” (structure shown to the right) that forms the same sort of binuclear complex that dimen does. Answer the following questions with supporting justification: a. How many geometric isomers (ignore any optical ones) of [Ir2(TM4)4] 2+ are there? b. How many geometric isomers (ignore any optical ones) of [Ir2(dimen)4] 2+ are there? c. In the “twisted” deformational isomer, would you expect [Ir2(TM4)4] 2+ or[Ir2(dimen)4] 2+ to be able to rotate polarized light? Justify your answer.
Draw a Lewis structure for the cyclopentadienyl ligand (C5H5)- and explain why it is more likely to bind it’s aromatic protons to a transition metal center compared to the similar benzene molecule (C6H6).
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).
