Question 2 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question A pioneering article on coordination chemistry from 1951 describes the coordination chemistry of various ligands and gold(III). Draw on your knowledge of coordination numbers, coordination geometries, d electron counts and ligand field stabilization energy to answer the following questions. (a) [5 marks] H[AUCI] and [AUCI4] are used as starting materials. Draw these compounds and state their coordination numbers. (b) [5 marks] A yellow solid was obtained from the reaction of 1,2-diaminoethane (en) with K[AuCl 4]. It was stated that the "solid is diamagnetic and therefore is not a compound of Au(II)." Explain how the authors arrived at this conclusion. (c) [5 marks] Given that the product in (b) has an Au:en ratio of 1:2 and no redox processes are involved, draw its structure. State the geometry at the metal centre and justify your choice. (d) [5 marks] In another reaction, H[AUCI4] and 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) produced diamagnetic [AuCl2(bipy)]*. However, the authors state that "We did not succeed in obtaining compounds with more than one 2,2'-bipyridine molecule per gold atom."
