Biocomplexes Complexonometry Chelatotherapy Complex compounds (coordination compounds) (C.C.) are a special class of compounds, in which the central metal atom or ion is surrounded by oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules more than its normal valency. C.C. Present in the minerals plants animals Play many important functions In biological systems: iron cobalt magnesium Heme (hemoglobin) is coordination compound of Vitamin B12 is coordination compound of Chlorophyll is coordination compound of coordination theory, 1893 Complex compounds Alfred Werner (1866-1919) Nobel Prise (1913) one of the ions in a molecule generally a positively charged one occupies a central position ‒ is called a complexing agent or central ion. Today Main valence - due to the formation of ionic and covalent bonds by the exchange mechanism Incidental valence - form a covalent bond by the donor-acceptor mechanism. By Werner C.C. contains complex ion: a central atom or ion (metal) and ligands (neutral molecules, ions) [ central atom + ligands] - inner sphere of the complex (complex ion) structure of complex compound complex ion, inner sphere K3[Fe(CN)6] [Ag(CN)2]- C.n. for Ag+ = 2 [Cu(NH3)4]2+ C.n. for Cu2+ = 4 [Co(NH3)3Cl3] C.n. for Co3+ = 6 ligands are neutral molecules or ions attached to the complexing agent complexing agent (central metal atom or ion) is the atom or cation to which one or more neutral molecules or anions are attached coordination number (C.n.) is the number of ligands surrounding the central ion (is the total number of Ϭ-bonds formed by Сomplexing agent + Ligands ions of the outside sphere complexing agent (central ion) Alkaline metals, alkaline-earth metals and cations form unstable complexes Must to have free atomic orbitals d- (Cu, Fe, Pt) and f-elements and their cations (atoms and cations of elements have small atomic radius and a big nuclear charge, because easy to polarize anions and molecule ligands, made => C.C.; p-elements (Al).

[Ni(NH3)6]2+ Central ion should have vacant orbitals. should have lone pairs of electrons in the outermost orbitals which can be donated to the central ion. The atom in the ligand which can donate the electron pairs is called donor atom. The molecules of ammonia are the ligands: Types of Ligands. Dentate of LIGANDS How many σ-bonds building ligand by central ion? monodentate (unidentate) ligands only one donor atom : (Cl-, F-, CN-, OH-) ions (H2O, NH3, CO, С6Н6, С6Н5N) moleculs ; bidentate ligands are two donor atoms and can coordinate to the central ion at 2 positions: (NH2 – CH2 – CH2 – NH2), (CO32-, SO42-, С2О42-), (Н2N – NН2) Ethylenediamine ions Hydrazyn polydentate ligands have more than 2 donor atoms ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a tetradentate ligand (EDTA). Bisodium salt of EDTA is used for treatment of hypercalcemia. CLASSIFICATION OF COMPLEX COMPOUNDS 1. By electrically charge Cationic complex is a complex ion which has a positive charge: [Co(NH3)6]3+, [Ni(NH3)6]2+ Anionic complex is a complex ion which has a negative charge: [Ag(CN)2]-, [Fe(CN)6]4-. Neutral complex has not charge [Co(NH3)3Cl3], [Ni(CO)4], [Pt(NH3)2Cl2]. 2. By acidity of the aqueous solution: ● Complex acid H2[SiF6]→2H++[SiF6]2- ● Complex basices [Ag(NH3)2]++OH- ● Complex salts [Zn(NH3)4]SO4→[Zn(NH3)4]2++SO42- CLASSIFICATION OF COMPLEX COMPOUNDS 3. By nature the ligands • Aquacomplexes contain water as the ligand: [Co(H2O)6]Cl3 • Ammines has ammonia molecules [Ag(NH3)2]OH, [Co(NH3)6]Cl3; and aminates –has amine molecules: CH3NH2 (methylamine), C2H5NH2 (ethylamine). • Acidocomplexes ‒ Na3[Ag(S2O3)2] (acidic residues) • Transition series : ligands= ions + neutral moleculs [Pt(NH3)Cl3] • Hydroxocomplexes: K3[Al(OH)6] • Cyclic or chelate c. c. contain 2 or polydentate ligand Coordination Sphere Central metal atom and the ligands (molecules or ions) directly bonded to it is collectively known as coordination sphere. This part of the complex behaves as one unit and is non-ionizable. [Pt(NH3)4]2+ represents coordination sphere in the compound [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2. The portion outside the square bracket (coordination sphere) is ionizable. Thus, the coordination compound [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2 ionizes as: [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2 ↔ [Pt(NH3)4]2+ + 2Cl- [Co(NH3)3Cl3] does not ionize because there is no group outside the square bracket. My self work Charge of a Complex ion is a algebraic sum of charges carried by the central ion and the ligands coordinated to it. [Ni(NH3)6]2+ carries a charge of +2 because Ni2+ ion carries a charge of +2 and ammonia molecule is neutral. Oxidation number or oxidation state of the central metal atom Oxidation number of the central atom is the main factor affecting the coordination number (C.n.)! The most characteristic C.n. in solutions and the charge of the central ion is given below: Charge of the central ion +1 +2 +3 +4 C.n. 2 4,6 6,4 8 3) C.n. 6 is encountered in the complex compounds of Pt4+, Cr3+, Co3+, Fe3+, C.n. 4 – Cu2+, Zn2+, Pd2+, Pt2+, C.n. 2 – Ag+ and Cu+. Oxidation number (O.N.) the central metal atom Knowing the charge of the complex ion, we can calculate the oxidation number of the central metal atom. For example: Cr (H2O)4Cl2+ x + 40 + 2(-1) = +1 x + (-2) = +1 x = 3 О.N. of : Cr= +3 [Ni(NH3)6]2+: x+6(0)=+2 or x=+2 O.N. of Ni = +2 [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+: x+5(0)-1=+2 or x=+3 O.N. of Co =+3 [Fe(C2O4)3]3- : x+3(-2) =-3 or x=+3 O.N. of Fe =+3 K4[Fe(CN)6]: 4(+1)+x+6(-1) =0 or x= +2 O.N. of Fe =+2 [Ni(CO)4]: x+4(0)=0 or x=0 O.N. of Ni =0 [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl Coordination number 2+4=6 Coordination sphere Central metal ion Ligands Ionizable part Nomenclature of Coordination Compounds (IUPAC) 1. Order of naming ions. In ionic complexes, the cation is named first and then the anion (as in NaCl: sodium chloride). Non-ionic complexes are given a one word name. 2. Naming the coordination sphere. In naming the coordination sphere, the ligands are named first and then the central metal ion. 3. Names of ligands. The names of negative ligands end in –o and names of positive ligands end in –ium. The neutral ligands are named as such: negative ligands end in – o: Br- bromo; OH- hydroxo; NO3- nitrato; CO32- carbonato; NO2- nitro; positive ligands end in –ium NO+ nitrosonium; NO2+ nitronium; neutral ligands are named as such NH2CH2CH2NH2 ethylenediamine, C6H5N pyridine. However: H2O aquo (aqua); NO nitrosyl ; NH3 ammine; CO carbonyl Nomenclature of Coordination Compounds (IUPAC) 4. Order of naming ligands. When more than one type of ligands are present, they are named in alphabetical order of preference without separation by hyphen: [Co(NH3)4Cl(NO2)]+ The ligands are named in the order: ammine, chloro, nitro. 5. Numerical prefixes to indicate number of ligands. When more than one ligands are present in the complex, the prefixes di-, tri-, tetra, penta-, hexa-, are used to indicate their number: two, three, four, five, six respectively. 6. Ending of names. When the complex is anionic ‒ the name of the central metal atom ends in –ate. K[Pt(NH3)Cl5] Potassium amminepentachloroplatinate(IV) When the complex is cationic and neutral complexes ‒ the name of the metal is written without any characteristic ending. [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride Nomenclature of Coordination Compounds (IUPAC) Latin names of central metals (for anionic complexes) ferrate for Fe cuperate for Cu argentate for Ag aurate for Au K3[Fe(CN)6] Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) • If the complex is cationic the name of the metal is given as such: iron for Fe copper for Cu silver for Ag gold for Au [Fe(CO)5] Pentacarbonyl iron(0) 7. Oxidation state of central metal ion is designated by a Roman numeral in the brackets at the end of the name of the complex without a gap between the two. It may be noted that the gap should be only between cation and anion. The complex part should be written as one word: Ni0 (CO)400 – Tetracarbonylnickel (0) Pt+4(NH3)40Cl-1(NO2)-12+SO42—Tetraamminechloronitroplatinum(IV) sulfate Cu+22Fe+2 (CN)6-14- – Copper hexacyanoferrate(II) K+1Ag+1(CN)2-11- – Potassium dicyanoargentate(I) Bonding in Coordination Compounds (C.C.) 1.The complexing agent is usually a d-elements: have number of empty d-orbitals available for accepting of ligands electrons. 2. The central metal ion in the C.C. provides a number of empty orbitals for the formation of coordinate bonds with suitable ligands. 3.
