Cobalt(II) forms more tetrahedral complexes than any other ion except zinc(II). Draw the structure(s) of the tet- rahedral complex [CoCl;(en)]. Could this complex exhibit geometric or optical isomerism? If one of the Cl¯ ligands is replaced by Br¯, what kinds of isomerism, if any, are possible in the resulting compound?

Which of the following complexes can exhibit cis and trans isomers? (Check ALL correct answers.) Group of answer choices [Pt(H2O)2(ox)] [Ni(NH3)3Cl3]- [Mn(NH3)3(H2O)2Cl]2+ [Co(phen)3]3+ [Ir(CO)2Cl2]- (hint: This complex has a square-planar geometry.)
From the Lewis structure of NO2-, both N and O having unshared pairs of electrons can bond to metal ions in more than one way. Ligand NO2- having this ability are known as ambidentate ligands. Name and predict the molecular structure, also describing all the isomers possible for complex compound [Cr(en)2NO2Cl]+
What is the charge on each of the following complex ions? hexaaquairon(II), [Fe(H2O)6]? tris(carbonato)ferrate(III), [Fe(CO3)3]? diaquatetrachlorovanadate(III), [V(H2O)2Cl4]? Express the charges numerically, in the order that the complexes are listed, separated by commas. For a nonzero charge, be sure to include the sign (e.g., +1,-2,+3).

Naming complex anions with one type of ligand Name the following complex ions. formula [ca] [v(co)] [MoBr4] name ☐ ☑
A) Using a cobalt (III) ion as the central metal atom, and with chloride ions (Cl-) and ammonia (NH3) molecules as the ligands, draw both isomers of the coordination complex that will exhibit fac/mer isomerism. B) Using a platinum (II) ion as the central metal atom, with chloride ions and ammonia molecules as the ligands, draw both isomers of the coordination complex that will exhibit cis/trans isomerism. Platinum (II) forms four coordinate bonds.
Transition metal complexes are highly likely to be colored because of a) the size of the energy gap within the d orbitals and the number of electrons. In ruby, the red color of ruby is attributed to a small amount of Cr³* substituting into Al2O3 which is made up of shared AIO, octahedra. Provide a hypothesis for the origin of the red color observed in ruby. Red pigments tend to be rare. If you had to design a new material that b) had an approximate bandgap that would absorb green, what ideas do you need to employ to find a new semiconductor that does not contain Cd, Hg or Pb as one of the components (see last lecture for ideas).
