Nomenclature1. Learn common ligand names (Table 7.1)
Ex: :OH2 aqua:O2 oxo (oxido):CN cyano (cyanido):Br bromo (bromido):NH3 ammine
Note that anionic ligands end in “o”
2. List ligands in alphabetical order
3. Metal name at end, add “ate” if it’s an anionic complex
some common names – ferrate, stannate, plumbate, cuprate
4. Add (and metal oxidation number in Roman numerals)
or add metal (and total complex charge in Arabic numerals)
4
Nomenclature ex: [Cu(OH2)6]2+ is hexaaquacopper(II) or hexaaquacopper(2+)
[CuCl4] is tetrachlorocuprate(III) or tetrachloridocuprate(III)
5. Add prefixes to indicate number of each ligand type
mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa
or use bis, tris, tetrakis if less confusing due to ligand name
ex: [PtBr2{P(CH3)3}2 ] is dibromobis(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II)
Stereoisomers cis- and trans-platin. The cis isomer is an anti-cancer drug.~ C2v ~D2h
6
Nomenclature6. To write the formula:
[metal, then anionic ligands, then neutral ligands] net charge superscript
7. Special ligands:
a. ambidentate
-SCN (thicyanato) vs NCS (isothiocyanato)
NO2 (nitrito) vs ONO (isonitrito)
[Pt(SCN)4]2 D4h tetrathiocyanatoplatinate(II)
[Cr(NCS)(NH3)5]2+ pentaammineisothiocyanatochromium(III)
7
Nomenclatureb. bidentate – ligands bind to M at two sites
ex: H2NCH2CH2NH2 ethylenediamine (en)
[Cr(en)3]3+ tris(ethylenediamine)chromium(III)

Nomenclature
Another bidentate example is acetato
c. polydentate ligands – bind at multiple sites
ex: tetraazamacrocycles
porphine (a simple porphyrin)
the 4 N atoms are approximately square planar
9
Geometric Isomers
There have distinct physical and chemical properties
Oh coordination MX5Y 1 isomer
MX4Y2 2 isomers (cis or trans)
MX3Y3 2 isomers (fac = C3V or mer = C2V )
ex: [CoCl2(NH3)4]+ tetraamminedichlorocobalt(III)
cis – purple trans – green
10
Optical Isomers
Enantiomers = non-superimposable mirror images of a chiral molecule
enantiomers have identical physical properties (except in a chiral environment, for example retention times on a chiral column are not the same)
enantiomers rotate the plane of polarized light in opposite directions (optical isomers)
11
Polymetallic complexes
(also called cage compounds)
no direct M-M bonding
ex:
S8 + NaSR + FeCl3 [Fe4S4(SR)4]n model for ferrodoxinsMeOH (dry) / N2
13
Crystal Field TheoryOh complexes – put 6 e pairs around central metal in Oh geometry
this splits the 4 d-orbitals into 2 symmetry sets
t2g (xz, yz, xy) and eg (x2 – y2, z2)
0 can be determined from spectroscopic data (see Table 8.3)

Crystal Field Theory0 depends on:
1. ligand (spectrochemical series)
0 I < Br < Cl < F < OH < NH3 < CN < CO
weak field strong field
more complete list in text
2. metal ion
0 greater for higher oxidation number – stronger, shorter M-L interaction
0 greater going down a group – more diffuse d-orbitals interact more strongly with ligands
0 Mn2+ < Fe2+ < Fe3+ < Ru3+ < Pd4+ < Pt4+ small large

Magnetic MeasurementsMagnetic moment () is the attractive force towards a magnetic field (H)
≈ [N(N + 2)]1/2 B
where N = number of unpaired electrons
N /B
1 1.732 2.833 3.874 4.905 5.92
this is the paramagnetic contribution from unpaired e spin only, it ignores both spin-orbit coupling and diamagnetic contributions
ex: [Mn(NCS)6]4 experimental /B = 6.06,
Mn(II) is d5 it must be a high spin complex
22
CFT for CN 4For Td complexes
T << 0 due to fewer ligands and the geometry of field vs ligands
ex: Δ
[CoCl4] 2 3300 cm 1
[Co(OH2)6]3+ 20,700 cm 1
therefore Td complexes are nearly always high spin (pairing E more important than LFSE)
Co(II) d7 LSFE = 1.2T
ex: Fe3O4 magnetite Fe(II)Fe(III)2O4
oxide is a weak field ligand, so high spin case
Fe(II) is d6 (only in Oh sites); Fe(III) is d5 (1/2 in Oh sites, ½ in Td sites)
24
Square planar complexes
D4h is a common structure for d8 complexes (full z2, empty x2 – y2
orbitals)
Group 9: Rh(I), Ir(I)
Group 10: Pt(II), Pd(II)
Group 11: Au(III), for example AuCl4
Note: [Ni(CN)4]2 is D4h but [NiCl4]2 is Td
Ni(II) has a smaller than Pd, PT so Td is common
but we see D4h with strong field ligands
25
Jahn-Teller effectJahn-Teller effect: degenerate electronic ground states generate structural disorder to decrease E
Ex: [Cu(OH2)6]2+ Cu(II) d9
We see a tetragonal distortion
But fluxional above 20K, so appears Oh by NMR in aqueous solution
27
Ligand Field Theory
CFT does not explain ligand field strengths; MO theory can
Start with SALCs that are ligand combinations shown to the right
