History of Coordination Chemistry
A.
Definitions
1) Coordination Compound = new chemical compounds formed by the
binding of simpler, yet distinct, molecules by non-covalent bonds
a)
Simple Covalent Bond = bond formed by the sharing of one
electron from each member. H3C• + •H
H3C—H
b)
Coordinate Covalent Bond = bond formed by the donation of both
electrons from one member. H3N: + Ni2+
Ni2+—NH3
N

Ligand = atom, ion, or molecule that can donate a pair of electrons to a metal ion
(A Lewis Base) = H2O, NH3, ClWerner Complexes
1) Alfred Werner (1866-1919) was the father of modern coordination chemistry
2) Early theory of coordination compound structure
a) Blomstrand (1826-1894) and Jorgenson (1837-1914)
b) The “valence” or charge of the metal ion determined how many bonds it
could form: Co3+ could form 3 bonds
c) This idea stressed the similarity to organic chemistry (C could form 4 bonds)
d) NH3 could form chains, just like chains of CH2
e) Only Cl- attached to an NH3 could dissociate
Evidence:
-Amount of AgCl precip
-Conductance Value
3)
Werner’s Theory
a) Metals interact with 6 ligands in octahedral geometry to form “complex ions”
i. Primary or Inner Coordination Sphere = ligands with bonds to Metal
ii. Secondary or Outer Coordination Sphere = more loosely bound
anions present only to balance charge
b)
Explains multiple complexes of the same sets of ligands in diff. numbers
i. [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl [Co(NH3)3Cl3]
ii. Different numbers of ions are produced due to outer sphere dissociation
c)
Explains multiple complexes with exact same formula = isomers
Finally convinced Jorgenson by synthesizing both
Optical Activity
only possible for
octahedral structure
d)
Further ideas of Werner proved correct as well
i. His use of “inert” or slow-reacting metal ions (Co3+, Cr3+, Pt2+)
let him successfully isolate all of the isomers
ii.
Coordination Number = the number of ligands a given metal
ion prefers to have bound. Most first row transition elements
prefer 6. Pt2+ prefers 4 = square planar geometry.
iii. CoA4B2 only has two isomers. Trigonal Prismatic and Trigonal
Antiprimatic should give 3 isomers. Octahedral only has two
possible isomers. Thus the structure must be Oh.
iv. PtA2B2 only has two isomers. It must be square planar rather
than tetrahedral, which would only have 1 isomer.

Water completes the Inner Sphere coordination in aqueous
solutions: NiCl2 + H2O
[Ni(H2O)6]Cl2
For his work on Coordination Chemistry, Werner was awarded the
Nobel Prize in 1913

Problem with Werner’s Theory: disobeys octet rule. Solution: use d-orbitals
so it becomes an 18-electron rule. [Co(NH3)6]3+ has 6 d e- + 12 e- from NH3
1s + 3p + 5d orbitals x 2 e- each = 18 total electrons possible
Nomenclature of Coordination Complexes
A.
Ligands
1) Ligands are often organic molecules with IUPAC names
2)
Common names are most often used for the ligands in coordination compounds
3)
Chelate = Greek for Claw = a ligand that can bind a metal ion by more than one
point of attachment.
a) Bidentate = “two teeth” = NH2CH2CH2NH2 = ethylenediamene = en
b) Tridentate = NH2CH2CH2NHCH2CH2NH2 = diethylenetriamine = trien
c) Tetradentate = cyclam
4)
Table 9-2 lists common ligands, names, structures, and abbreviations

Naming and Writing Formulas of Coordination Compounds
1) The cation comes first, then the anion(s)
a) diamminesilver(I) chloride [Ag(NH3)2]Cl
b) potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) K3[Fe(CN)6]
2)
Inner Sphere Complex Ion is enclosed in brackets
a) Ligands are named before the metal
b) Metal is written first in the formula
c) A space only between cation and anion
d) No capitalization is needed
i. tetraamminecopper(II) sulfate [Cu(NH3)4]SO4
ii. hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride [Co(NH3)6]Cl3
3)
Prefixes denote the number of each ligand type. Special prefixes and
parentheses are used if the ligand already contains a prefix.

4)
Ligands are named in alphabetical order not counting prefixes.
a) tetraamminedichlorocobalt(III) [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+
b) amminebromochloromethylamineplatinum(II) [Pt(NH3)BrCl(CH3NH2)]
5)
Ligand name alterations:
a) Anionic ligands are given an -o suffix: chloro, fluoro, oxo, sulfato
b) Neutral ligands keep their name: methylamine, bipyridine
c) Water becomes aqua
d) NH3 becomes ammine to keep separate from alkylamines
6)
Two systems for showing charge or oxidation state of metal ion
a) Stock system: oxidation state in Roman Numerals in parenthesis after the
metal ion name. This is the most common method.
b)
Ewing-Basset system: charge of the total complex ion is placed in
parenthesis after the name of the metal ion.
c)
Both systems add –ate to the metal name if the complex ion has an
overall (-) charge
d)
e)
f)
[Pt(NH3)4]2+ = tetraamineplatinum(II) or (2+)
[PtCl4]2- = tetrachloroplatinate(II) or (2-)
[PtCl6]2- = hexachloroplatinate(IV) or (2-)
7)
Isomer designations come before the rest of the name and in italics
a) cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)
b) trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)
8)
Bridging ligands have the prefix m
[(NH3)4Co(OH)(NH2)Co(NH3)4]4+ =
m-amido-m-hydroxobis(tetraaminecobalt(III))
9) Negatively charged complexes of metals originally having Latin names:
Fe = ferrate Ag = argenate
Sb = stibate
Au = aurate
Pb = plumbate Sn = stannate
Au = aurate
Exception: Hg still called mercurate (Latin name: hydrargyrum)
