Why Are Transition Metals &
Coordination Compounds Important?
• Therapeutic drugs
• Chemical Sensors
• Coloring agents
o Paints
o Cosmetics
• Biological Molecules
o Hemeglobin
o Chlorophyll
• Gems (Jewelry & Technological
Applications)
o Rubies, Emeralds, Garnets, etc.
o Lasers
24.2 Properties of Transition Metals
• Moderate to High Densities
• Good Electrical Conductivity
• High Melting Points
• Moderate to Extreme Hardness
Due to the delocalization of d electrons in metallic bonding
Exceptions: Elements with filled d
orbitals, which prevents d-d bonding.
Hg has a low melting point and is liquid
at room temperature.

Atomic Size
Exception to the trend: Electrons in the f-orbitals are not
effective at shielding outer shell electrons from nuclear
charge. So, the outer electrons are held in close – this is
known as lanthanide contraction.

Ionization Energy
Exception to the trend: Note that 5d elements have a
greater ionization energy. This is again due to outer shell
electron being held closer to the nucleus, so it take more
energy to pull them away.

Electronegativity
Au: EN = 2.4
Compared to
P: EN = 2.1 !!
Exception to the trend: There is an increase in
electronegativity from the 3d (1st row transition
metals) to the 4d (2nd row transition metals).
Oxidation States
In general, stability is found in full or halffull shells, and in a configuration that
looks like a noble gas.
24.3 Coordination Compounds
• Complex Ion - Central Metal bound to one or more ligands
• Ligands are Lewis Base* (electron donors) and can be
either neutral or negatively charged
• The charge on the complex ion
is balance by counter ions
of opposite charge
The combination of a complex
ion and counter ions results in
a coordination compound

A Little Background
• In 1893, Swiss chemist Alfred Werner came up with the
idea that a central metal could have 2 types of interactions
o Primary Valence – Oxidation State of the central metal
o Secondary Valence – Number of molecules or ions directly attached to the central
metal or Coordination Number
• Example: [Co(NH3)6]Cl3
o The Primary Valence or Oxidation State of Co is +3
o The Secondary Valence or Coordination Number is 6 (6 ammonia ligands are
directly attached to Co
• Other cobalt(III) coordination compounds
• [Co(NH3)6]Cl3
• [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2
• [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl
Coordinate Covalent Bonds
• Lewis Acid-Base Adduct – the ligand donates it’s electrons
to the empty metal orbitals to form a coordinate covalent
bond

Some Common Ligands
Chelating Agents
• Ligands can have one or more bonding pairs of electrons
o Monodentate
o Bidentate or Polydentate
• Complex ions with bidentate or polydentate ligands are
chelates, and the coordinating ligands are chelating agents
Co
EDTA is hexadentate

Naming Coordination Compounds
• [Mn(CO)(NH3)5]SO4
(neutral ligands are written before charged ligands in the formula)
• Cation 1st
o Name the ligands in alphabetical order
• ammine
• carbonyl
o Add a prefix to indicate the number of ligands
• pentaammine
o Name the metal ion
• Manganese(II)
• Anion 2nd
o Sulfate
• Pentaamminecarbonylmanganese(II) sulfate
