Study Notes
Coordination Number of Metal Ions in Complexes
- The coordination number of Ni2+ in the complex Ni(CN)42- is 4.
- The coordination number of Fe3+ in the complex Fe(CN)63- is 6.
- The coordination number of Ag+ in the complex Ag(NH3)2+ is 2.
- The coordination number of Zn2+ and Cu2+ in their respective complexes is 4.
Characteristics of Chelating Agents
- A key characteristic of a chelating agent is that it has multiple donor sites.
- The maximum number of donor sites a chelating agent can have is not specified, as it varies depending on the agent.
- A chelating agent is not a monodentate ligand, which is a characteristic that distinguishes it from non-chelating agents.
Complexation Reactions and Titrations
- In a complexation reaction, the metal ion combines with one or more ligands to form a complex.
- In an EDTA titration, the titration curve has a single steep inflection region leading to a sharp endpoint, indicating the formation of a stable complex.
- The steep inflection region in a complexometric titration curve indicates the equivalence point, where the amount of titrant added is equivalent to the amount of metal ion present.
Chelate Complexes
- A key difference between a linear complex and a chelate complex is that a chelate complex involves a ligand that forms multiple bonds with the metal ion, while a linear complex involves a ligand that forms only one bond.
- Chelate complexes are more stable than linear complexes due to the chelate effect, which arises from the formation of multiple bonds between the ligand and the metal ion.
