Concept Introduction:
Transition metal complexes are the compounds in which a transition metal is bonded to some atoms or molecules known as ligands. Ligands donate electrons to vacant orbitals in metals to form bonds.
The number of electrons required to complete octet in
Total valence electrons of a metal in a complex is obtained by the following formula:
Total number of valence electrons of metal in complex =

- Is it possible for a complex of a metal in the transition series to have six unpaired electrons? Explain.arrow_forwardWhat is the coordination number of the central metal atom in the following complexes? (a) [Fe(H2O)63+] (b) [Pt(NH3)Br3] (c) [V(en)Cl42] (d) [Au(CN)2+]arrow_forwardd) Using HSAB theory, predict how the stability of the complex would change if the S-donor ligand in the Auranofin complex was changed to an O-donor ligand. Motivate your answer.arrow_forward
- CO is considered a strong field ligand and I- is considered a weak field ligand. Give an axplanation based from an octahedral ligand field theory approach. Be sure to include what happens to the d-orbital energy and cause in your explanation. You may use diagrams in your explanation.arrow_forwardCertain ligands added to an ion produced red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet solutions. Arrange these colors according to increasing ligand field strength.arrow_forwardplease skip if you already answered this. I will upvote if this is typewritten. much appreciated. thank you so much NOTE: THE BIG NUMBER IS FOR NUMBERING ONLY. IT IS NOT GRADEDarrow_forward
- Identify complexes that can have low and high spin configurations and rationalize why they adopt a particular configuration using a strong field / weak field ligand argument based on the spectrochemical series. Specifically: know where CO,CN-,Cl-,Br¯,I¯,and NH3 fall on the spectrochemical series and why.arrow_forwardplease skip if you already answered this. I will upvote if this is typewritten. much appreciated. thank you so much NOTE: THE BIG NUMBER IS FOR NUMBERING ONLY. IT IS NOT GRADEDarrow_forwardDraw the energy level diagram which shows the effect of incorporating a ë-donor ligand into an octahedral complex. Comment on the relative magnitude of A. and give an example of such a ligand.arrow_forward
- Oxyhemoglobin, with an O2 bound to iron, is a low-spin Fe(II) complex; deoxyhemoglobin, without the O2 molecule, is a high-spin complex. What ligand is coordinated to the iron in place of O2 in deoxyhemoglobin?arrow_forwardWhich of the following ligands does not donate 6 electrons when coordinating to a transition metal center?
