Study Notes
Course Information
- Course title: Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry-l
- Course code: PA 101
- Instructor: Dr. Hany Mohamed, Ph.D.
- Course type: Pharm D-Clinical
Lecture 1: Complex Formation (Complexometric Titration)
- Topic: Complex formation titration, also known as complexometric titration
- Learning Outcomes: Students will understand complex definitions, ligand and chelating agent classifications, complex ion stability/geometry, and factors affecting complex stability.
- Interactive methods: Checkpoints, external video resources (e.g., Calcium-EDTA titration, titration of water hardness)
Complexes
- Complex definition: A species formed by the association of two or more simpler species, each capable of independent existence.
- Example: Ag+ + 2NH3 → Ag(NH3)2+
Metal Complexes
- Definition: When one of the species is a metal ion, the resulting entity is called a metal complex.
- Metal ions act as Lewis acids (electron acceptors)
- Ligands act as Lewis bases (electron donors)
- Example: Mn+ + :L → [ML]n+
Coordination Number
- Definition: The number of ligands that are bonded to each metal ion.
- Example: Ag+ + 2:NH3 → [Ag(NH3)2]+ (coordination number = 2)
Types of Ligands
- Simple (unidentate, monodentate): One site of attachment to the metal ion.
- Examples: H₂O, :NH3, CN−, Cl−
- Chelating (multidentate): Multiple sites of attachment to the metal ion, forming a heterocyclic ring (chelating ring).
- Classification (based on the number of attachment sites): bidentate, tridentate, tetradentate, hexadentate
- Examples: Ethylenediamine (en), amino acids (AA), oxalate, o-phenanthroline (1,10-phenanthroline)
Chelating Ligands
- Heterocyclic ring (chelating ring): A ring formed when a chelating ligand attaches to a metal ion.
- Examples:
- Glycine amino acid
- Bis(glycinato)copper(II)
- Classification (based on attachment sites): bidentate, tridentate, tetradentate, hexadentate
- Product: Metal chelate
Chelating Agent
- Definition: A molecule or anion capable of forming a chelate ring with metal ions.
- Classification: bidentate, tridentate, tetradentate, hexadentate (based on the number of attachment points)
EDTA
- EDTA is a hexadentate ligand.
- It can act as a quadridentate ligand
Stability of Complex Ions
- Factors affecting complex ion stability:
- Properties of the central metal ion (e.g., charge, ionic radius, ionic potential)
- Properties of the ligand (e.g., basic character of the donating atom, size)
- Stability of the chelate (number of rings, size of chelate ring)
Chelate effect
- The increasing stability of a complex when a chelating ligand forms multiple rings with a metal ion.
- Chelated complexes are more stable than non-chelated complexes
Step-wise Complex Formation
- Examples of sequential step-wise addition of ligands to a metal ion.
Polynuclear Complexes
- Definition: Metal chelates containing two or more central metal atoms, where the chelating ligand acts as a coordinating bridge.
- Examples: Ethylenediamine: Ag+, Dithiooxamide (rubeanic acid): Cu²⁺
Questions
- Short essay questions (factors affecting stability of complex ions with examples, definitions of Coordination number, requirements of a chelating agent)
