Chemistry of
Coordination Compounds
• In earlier chapters - metal ions can function as Lewis acid,
forming covalent bonds with a variety of molecules and
ions (Lewis bases)
e.g. [Fe(H2O)6]3+ , [Ag(NH3)2]+
O H N H Cl C N
H H
• The bond between the metal ion and ligand is the result of
their sharing a pair of electrons:
+
H H H
+
Ag (aq) + 2 N H (aq) H N Ag N H (aq)
H H H
+2 + 4(0) = +2
[Cu(NH3)4]2+
• The atom of the ligand bound directly to the metal is called
the donor atom.
Eg. [Ag(NH3)2]+ - donor atom N
[Al(OH)4]- - donor atom O
N 3+
Co
• The coordination number for Co is 6.
[Co(en)3]3+
• Eg of a polydentate ligand:
Ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) ion.
Has six donor atoms.
