المركبات التناسقية هي فئة محايدة،تتألف من أيونات معقد محايد أو أيونات معقد مشحون،و أيونات مضادة عكسية-الشحنة. أيون المعقد،هو أيون مركزي فلزي مربوط بجزيئات أو أيونات تسمى ربيطات. الربيطات،هي مركبات تحتوي على زوج أو أكثر من الإلكترونات.تؤدي دور قاعدة لويس بمنحها زوجًا من الإلكترونات للأيون الفلزي،الذي يؤدي دور حمض لويس لتشكيل رابطة تساهمية. و هي تشكل مجتمعة،كرة تناسق. عام 1893،طرح ألفرد فيرنر نظرية التناسق،لتفسير السبب الذي يجعل جزيئات مستقرة معينة،تتفاعل وتخالف نظرية التكافؤ لتكون مركبات تناسقية.بدراسة مركبات عديدة من الكوبالت والأمونيا،افترض فيرنر أن الذرة المركزية،تُظهر نوعين من تفاعلات التكافؤ. التكافؤ الأولي،وهو عدد الأكسدة للفلز المركزي،بينما التكافؤ الثانوي،هو عدد الربيطات المرتبطة به،ويُسمى أيضًا العدد التناسقي. بالتالي،إذا انخفض عدد الربيطات،تستطيع الأيونات المقابلة أن ترتبط مباشرة بالأيون الفلزي،فتحافظ على التكافؤ الثانوي.تُستخدم نظرية فيرنر حول التناسق،هذه الأيام،لكتابة صيغ كيميائية للمركبات التناسقية. يبدأ برمز الأيون الفلزي،ثم إدراج جميع الربيطات بالترتيب الأبجدي. يوضع أقواسًا مربعة حول أيون المركب،وتدرج الأيونات المقابلة في الآخر.تستخدم رموزًا رقمية للدلالة على عدد الربيطات والأيونات المقابلة المشاركة. لتسمية المركبات التناسقية بطريقة ممنهجة،يبدأ بتسمية الأيون المعقد. نبدأ بإدراج الربيطات أبجديًا.تنتهي ربيطة الأيون السالب بالحرف o،بينما يُشار إلى الربيطة المحايدة باسمها الجزيئي،مع بعض الشواذ مثل الماء والأمين. تستخدم أحرف الابتداء اليونانية مثل للإشارة إلى عدد الربيطات. إذا وجد مقطع ابتداء في اسم الربيطة،بالفعل،تُغير الحروف الابتدائية إلى بيس،تراي،أو تتراكيس مع وضع اسم الربيطة بين قوسين.بعد ذلك يوضع اسم الفلز وحالة الأكسدة،باستخدام الأرقام الرومانية بين قوسين. في حالة معقّد أيوني سالب،يضاف إلى اسم الفلز المقطع الختامي أخيرًا،يُسمى المركب التناسقي بإضافة اسم الأيون الموجب أولًا،يتبعه اسم الأيون السالب. وهكذا يُسمى المركبان التناسقيان كوبالت(III)ووبروميد وأمونيوم-دياكواتتراكلوروكوبالتيت(III)

مركبات التنسيق والتسميات

في معظم مركبات عناصر المجموعة الرئيسية، تتحد إلكترونات التكافؤ للذرات المعزولة لتكوين روابط كيميائية تفي بقاعدة الثمانيات. على سبيل المثال، تتداخل إلكترونات التكافؤ الأربعة للكربون مع إلكترونات من أربع ذرات هيدروجين لتكوين CH4. يترك إلكترون التكافؤ الواحد الصوديوم ويضيف إلى إلكترونات التكافؤ السبعة للكلور لتكوين وحدة الصيغة الأيونية NaCl (الشكل 1 أ). لا ترتبط المعادن الانتقالية عادة بهذه الطريقة. تشكل الروابط التساهمية المنسقة بشكل أساسي، وهو شكل من أشكال تفاعل حمض لويس حيث يساهم كل من الإلكترونين في الرابطة من قبل مانح (قاعدة لويس ، على سبيل المثال جزيء الأمونيا) في مستقبل الإلكترون (حمض لويس ، على سبيل المثال أيون الكوبالت) (الشكل 1 ب). غالبًا ما يكون حمض لويس في معقدات التنسيق، والذي يُطلق عليه اسم أيون معدني مركزي (أو ذرة)، معدنًا انتقاليًا أو معدنًا انتقاليًا داخليًا. يمكن أن تكون الجهات المانحة لقاعدة لويس، والتي تسمى الروابط، مجموعة متنوعة من المواد الكيميائية- الذرات أو الجزيئات أو الأيونات. الشرط الوحيد هو أن يكون لديهم واحد أو أكثر من أزواج الإلكترونات، والتي يمكن التبرع بها للمعدن المركزي. في أغلب الأحيان، يتضمن ذلك ذرة مانحة (ذرة نيتروجين ، الشكل 1 ب) مع زوج وحيد من الإلكترونات يمكن أن يشكل رابطة تنسيق للمعدن. <img alt="Image1" src="/files/ftp_upload/11455/11455_Image_1.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 150px;" />الشكل 1 (أ) تتضمن الروابط التساهمية مشاركة الإلكترونات، وتتضمن الروابط الأيونية نقل الإلكترونات المرتبطة بكل ذرة رابطة، كما هو موضح بالإلكترونات الملونة. (ب) مع ذلك، فإن تنسيق الروابط التساهمية تتضمن إلكترونات من قاعدة لويس يتم التبرع بها إلى مركز معدني. تشكل الأزواج الوحيدة من ستة جزيئات من الأمونيا روابط إلى أيون الكوبالت لتكوين مركب ثماني السطوح. تتكون كرة التنسيق من أيون أو ذرة معدنية مركزية بالإضافة إلى الروابط المرتبطة بها. تضم الأقواس في الصيغة مجال التنسيق؛ الأنواع الموجودة خارج الأقواس ليست جزءًا من مجال التنسيق. رقم التنسيق لأيون أو ذرة المعدن المركزي هو عدد الذرات المانحة المرتبطة به. رقم التنسيق لأيون الفضة في [Ag(NH3)2]+ هو اثنان؛ بالنسبة للأيون النحاسي (II) في [CuCl4]2−، رقم التنسيق هو أربعة؛ بينما بالنسبة لأيون الكوبالت (II) في [Co(H2O)6]2+ فإن رقم التنسيق هو ستة. تسمية المعقدات تم تصميم تسمية المعقدات وفقًا لنظام اقترحه ألفريد ويرنر، الكيميائي السويسري والحائز على جائزة نوبل، والذي وضع عمله المتميز منذ أكثر من 100 عام الأساس لفهم أوضح لهذه المركبات. يتم استخدام القواعد الخمس التالية لتسمية المجمعات: <ol><li> إذا كان مركب التنسيق أيونيًا، فقم بتسمية الكاتيون أولاً ثم الأنيون ثانيًا، وفقًا للتسمية المعتادة. </li><li> قم بتسمية الروابط أولاً، متبوعة بالمعدن المركزي. قم بتسمية الروابط أبجدياً. تتم تسمية الروابط السلبية (الأنيونات) بإضافة - o إلى اسم جذع المجموعة. بالنسبة لمعظم الروابط المحايدة، يتم استخدام اسم الجزيء. الاستثناءات الأربعة الشائعة هي aqua (H2O), ammine (NH3), carbonyl (CO), و nitrosyl (NO). على سبيل المثال، اسم [Pt(NH3)2Cl4] مثل ديأمينيتيتراكلوربلاتينوم (IV). </li><li> في حالة وجود أكثر من رابط واحد من نوع معين، تتم الإشارة إلى الرقم بواسطة البادئات دي- (للاثنين)، تري- (للثلاثة)، تترا- (للأربعة)، بنتا- (للخمسة)، و هكسا- (للستة). في بعض الأحيان، يتم استخدام البادئات بيس- (للاثنين)، و تريس- (للثلاثة)، و تتراكيس- (للأربعة) عندما يشتمل اسم الرابطة بالفعل على دي- أو تري- أو تترا- أو عندما يبدأ اسم الرابطة بحرف متحرك. على سبيل المثال، يستخدم أيون بيس (بيبيريديل) أوسميوم (II) بيس- للإشارة إلى وجود رابطين مرتبطين بـ Os، ويحتوي كل رابط بيبيريديل على مجموعتين بيريدين (C5H4N).</li></ol>
 عندما يكون المركب إما كاتيونًا أو جزيئاً محايدًا، يتم تهجئة اسم ذرة المعدن المركزي تمامًا مثل اسم العنصر ويتبعه رقم روماني بين قوسين للإشارة إلى حالة الأكسدة الخاصة به. عندما يكون المركب عبارة عن أنيون، تتم إضافة اللاحقة -ات إلى ساق اسم المعدن، متبوعًا بالتعيين الرقمي الروماني لحالة الأكسدة الخاصة به. في بعض الأحيان، يتم استخدام الاسم اللاتيني للمعدن عندما يكون الاسم الإنجليزي محرجاً. على سبيل المثال، يتم استخدام فيرات بدلاً من ايرونات، و بلومبات instead ليدات, و stannate بدلاً من تينات. يتم تحديد حالة أكسدة المعدن بناءً على شحنات كل رابط والشحنة الكلية لمركب التنسيق. على سبيل المثال، في [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Br، فإن كرة التنسيق (بين قوسين) بها شحنة 1+ لموازنة أيون البروميد. روابط المياه محايدة، ورابطات الكلوريد أنيونية بشحنة 1− لكل. لتحديد حالة أكسدة المعدن، يتم تعيين الشحنة الإجمالية مساوية لمجموع الروابط والمعدن: +1 = −2 + x، وبالتالي فإن حالة الأكسدة (x) تساوي +3. هذا النص مقتبس من<a href="https://openstax.org/books/chemistry-2e/pages/19-2-coordination-chemistry-of-transition-metals">Openstax, Chemistry 2e, Chapter 19.2 Coordination Chemistry of Transition Metals</a>.

KEY TERMS AND CONCEPTS

المصطلحات والمفاهيم الأساسية

how transition metal complexes are named

Transition metal complexes are named by following rules for ligands, metal ions, and oxidation state. These compounds form when a central metal ion or atom, often a transition metal or inner transition metal, accepts electron pairs from ligands. A ligand is a Lewis base that can be an atom, molecule, or ion with one or more lone pairs to donate.

In these complexes, the bond is a coordinate covalent bond. That means both electrons in the bond come from the donor, such as ammonia, and are accepted by the metal center, such as a cobalt ion. The coordination sphere includes the metal plus its attached ligands. Brackets show the coordination sphere in a formula, and anything outside the brackets is not part of it.

The coordination number tells how many donor atoms are bonded to the central metal. For example, [Ag(NH3)2]+ has a coordination number of two, [CuCl4]2− has a coordination number of four, and [Co(H2O)6]2+ has a coordination number of six. These examples show how different ligands can surround the metal in different numbers.

The naming system for complexes follows rules suggested by Alfred Werner. If the coordination compound is ionic, name the cation first and the anion second. Then name the ligands first, followed by the central metal, and list the ligands in alphabetical order.

Negative ligands are named by changing the stem of the name to end in -o. Most neutral ligands keep their usual molecular name, but aqua, ammine, carbonyl, and nitrosyl are common exceptions. If more than one ligand is present, use prefixes such as di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexa-. The prefixes bis-, tris-, and tetrakis- are used when the ligand name already contains a prefix or begins with a vowel.

A cationic or neutral complex keeps the metal name unchanged and adds a Roman numeral for the oxidation state. An anionic complex uses the -ate ending on the metal name, followed by the Roman numeral. Latin-based names are sometimes used when the English form sounds awkward, such as ferrate, plumbate, and stannate.

The oxidation state of the metal is found from the charges of the ligands and the total charge of the complex. In [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Br, the bracketed coordination sphere has a 1+ charge to balance bromide. The water ligands are neutral, and each chloride ligand has a 1− charge, so the chromium oxidation state is +3.

Transition Metals in the Periodic Table

Transition metals are the d-block elements and the inner transition metals in the f-block. They are defined by partially filled d orbitals. In the periodic table, the transition elements are in groups 3 through 11, and the inner transition metals appear in the two rows below the main body of the table. The d-block is often grouped into transition series. The first transition series runs from Sc through Cu. The second series runs from Y through Ag. The third series includes La and Hf through...

coordination compounds and nomenclature

These compounds form when a central metal ion or atom, often a transition metal or inner transition metal, accepts electron pairs from ligands. A ligand is a Lewis base that can be an atom, molecule, or ion with one or more lone pairs to donate. In these complexes, the bond is a coordinate covalent bond.

metal-ligand bonds

Coordination Complexes and Chelation

Coordination complexes form when a metal ion bonds to ligands. These compounds appear in familiar examples such as hemoglobin in blood, chlorophyll in green plants, vitamin B-12, and the catalyst used to make polyethylene. Transition metal ions are especially likely to form these complexes. In a coordination complex, the metal acts as a Lewis acid. The ligand acts as a Lewis base and donates both electrons in the coordinate covalent bond. A ligand can be an atom, molecule, or ion, as long as...

coordination number and geometry

Transition Metal Shapes from Coordination Number

Transition metal complexes are often identified by their coordination number and the shape around the metal ion. The coordination number is the number of donor atoms bonded to the central metal. In many complexes, the most common shapes are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar. Coordination number and molecular geometry are linked in a clear pattern. A coordination number of 2 gives a linear shape, as in [Ag(NH3)2]+. A coordination number of 3 gives a trigonal planar shape, as in...

structural isomerism

Linkage and Ionization Isomers

Isomers are different chemical species that share the same chemical formula. In coordination compounds, structural isomerism includes linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers. These two forms show how the same atoms can be arranged in different ways around a metal center. Linkage isomers form when a ligand can attach to a transition metal through two different atoms. The cyanide ligand, CN−, can bind through carbon or nitrogen. The thiocyanate ligand, SCN−, can bind through sulfur or...

stereoisomerism

Isomer Shapes in Coordination Complexes

Isomer shapes in coordination complexes can change a compound’s properties even when the chemical formula stays the same. Isomers are different chemical species with the same formula. In transition metal complexes, the atoms stay connected through the same types of bonds, but their arrangement in space can differ. One common form is geometric isomerism. In these complexes, ligands (the ions or molecules attached to the metal) can sit in cis or trans positions. The octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion...

valence bond theory

Metal Ligand Bonds in Coordination Complexes

Coordination complexes form metal-ligand bonds through valence bond theory. In this model, Linus Pauling explained bonding with hybridization and overlap of atomic orbitals. The central metal atom or ion acts as a Lewis acid. It uses empty orbitals of suitable energy to accept electron pairs from ligands, which act as Lewis bases. These coordinate covalent bonds help explain the color, geometry, and magnetic behavior seen in coordination compounds. The type of hybridization helps determine the...

crystal field theory - octahedral complexes

crystal-field-theory-octahedral-complexes

Octahedral d-Orbital Splitting in Crystal Fields

Crystal field theory explains how ligands affect the d orbitals in transition metal complexes. This electrostatic model helps predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds. It focuses on the nonbonding electrons on the central metal ion, not on the metal-ligand bonds. In crystal field theory, the metal ion and ligands are treated as very small point charges. Because electrons are negative, electrons donated by the ligands repel the electrons in the...

crystal field theory - tetrahedral and square planar complexes

crystal-field-theory-tetrahedral-and-square-planar-complexes

Crystal Field Splitting in Non-Octahedral Shapes

Crystal field theory also explains d orbital splitting in tetrahedral and square planar complexes. These shapes do not follow the same pattern as an octahedral complex, so the d orbitals respond to ligand placement in different ways. In tetrahedral complexes, the four ligands sit between the axes. None of the d orbitals points directly at the ligands, but the d x2−y2 and d z2 orbitals lie along the Cartesian axes and overlap less with the ligands than the d xy, d xz, and d yz orbitals. The d...

colors and magnetism

Color and Spin in Coordination Complexes

Color in coordination complexes comes from how metal electrons absorb light. When atoms or molecules absorb light at the right frequency, electrons move to higher-energy orbitals. For many main-group atoms and molecules, the absorbed light is ultraviolet and cannot be seen. In coordination compounds, the energy gap between d orbitals often matches visible light, so the compound can absorb and emit colors that the human eye detects. Small changes in orbital energy can cause large shifts in the...

• Heterogeneous vs. homogeneous 
• Properties of matter 
• States of matter and its changes

Content elaboration: Matter was introduced in the elementary grades and the learning progression continued through middle school to include differences in the physical properties of solids, liquids and gases. Elements, compounds, mixtures, molecules, kinetic and potential energy and the particulate nature of matter were introduced. Content in Chemistry (e.g., electron configuration, molecular shapes, bond angles) will build on concepts in this course. Matter can be classified in broad categories, such as homogeneous and heterogeneous, according to its composition or by its chemical properties (e.g., reactivity, flammability, pH) and physical properties (e.g., color, solubility, odor, hardness, density, conductivity, melting point and boiling point, viscosity, malleability). Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of a solute dissolved in a solvent. The amount of a solid solute that can dissolve in a solvent generally increases as the temperature increases since the particles have more kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces between them. Water is often used as a solvent since so many substances will dissolve in water. Aqueous solutions can be classified as acidic (below 7 on the pH scale), neutral (7 on the pH scale), or basic (above 7 on the pH scale), but the discussion of hydroxide and hydrogen ions as they relate to the pH scale is reserved for Chemistry. Physical properties can be used to separate the substances in mixtures, including solutions. Phase changes can be represented by graphing the temperature of a sample vs. the time it has been heated. Investigations include collecting data during heating, cooling and solid-liquid-gas phase changes. At times, the temperature will change steadily, indicating a change in the motion of the particles and the kinetic energy of the substance. However, during a phase change, the temperature of a substance does not change, indicating there is no change in kinetic energy. Since the substance continues to gain or lose energy during phase changes, these changes in energy are potential and indicate a change in the position of the particles. When heating a substance, a phase change will occur when the kinetic energy of the particles is great enough to overcome the attractive forces between the particles; the substance then melts or boils. [cite: 91, 92] Conversely, when cooling a substance, a phase change will occur when the kinetic energy of the particles is no longer great enough to overcome the attractive forces between the particles; the substance then condenses or freezes. [cite: 92, 93] Phase changes are examples of changes that can occur when energy is absorbed from the surroundings (endothermic) or released into the surroundings (exothermic). When thermal energy is added to a solid, liquid or gas, most substances increase in volume because the increased kinetic energy of the particles causes an increased distance between the particles. This results in a change in density of the material. Generally, solids have greater density than liquids, which have greater density than gases due to the spacing between the particles. [cite: 96, 101] The density of a substance can be calculated from the slope of a mass vs. volume graph. Differences in densities can be determined by interpreting mass vs. volume graphs of the substances. Students should be able to calculate mass, volume or density, given two of the three values.

• Models of the atom (components)
• Ions (cations and anions)
• Isotopes

Content elaboration: Content introduced in middle school, where the atom was introduced as a small, indestructible sphere, is further developed in this course. Over time, technology was introduced that allowed the atom to be studied in more detail. The atom is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons that have measurable properties, including mass and, in the case of protons and electrons, a characteristic charge. An atom is empty space with a very small positively charged nucleus. The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons. The electrons move about in the empty space that surrounds the nucleus. Although current understanding goes beyond the Bohr Model, it can still be used to represent the atom and develop the idea of valence electrons. Experimental evidence that led to the development of historic atomic models is reserved for Chemistry. All atoms of a particular element have the same atomic number; an element may have different isotopes with different mass numbers. [cite: 112, 113] Atoms may gain or lose valence electrons to become anions or cations. Atomic number, mass number, charge and identity of the element can be determined from the numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons. Atomic mass calculations and explanations about configuration of electrons and how atomic spectra are produced are reserved for Chemistry.

• Periodic law 
• Representative groups

Content elaboration: Content from the middle school level, specifically the properties of metals, nonmetals and metalloids and their positions on the periodic table, is further expanded in this course. The periodic table was arranged so that elements with similar chemical and physical properties are in the same group or family. When elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number, the same sequence of properties appears over and over again; this is the periodic law. [cite: 120, 121] Trends in simple observable properties, like density or melting point, can be examined within families or groups on the periodic table. These trends allow scientists to make predictions about new elements. Metalloids are elements that have some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals. Metals, nonmetals, metalloids, periods and groups or families including the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens and noble gases can be identified by their position on the periodic table. Elements in Groups 1, 2 and 17 have characteristic ionic charges that will be used in this course to predict the formulas of compounds. Other trends in the periodic table (e.g., atomic radius, electronegativity, ionization energies) are reserved for Chemistry.

• Bonding (ionic and covalent)
• Nomenclature

Content elaboration: Middle school content introduced the concept that compounds are composed of atoms of two or more different elements joined together chemically. In this course, the chemical joining of atoms is studied in more detail. Atoms may be bonded together by losing, gaining or sharing valence electrons to form molecules or three-dimensional lattices. An ionic bond involves the attraction of two oppositely charged ions, typically a metal cation and a nonmetal anion formed by transferring electrons between the atoms. An ion attracts oppositely charged ions from every direction, resulting in the formation of a three-dimensional lattice. Covalent bonds result from the sharing of electrons between two atoms, usually nonmetals. Covalent bonding can result in the formation of structures ranging from small individual molecules to three-dimensional lattices (e.g., diamond). The bonds in most compounds fall on a continuum between the two extreme models of bonding: ionic and covalent. Using the periodic table to determine ionic charge, formulas of ionic compounds containing elements from groups 1, 2, 17, hydrogen and oxygen can be predicted. Given a chemical formula, a compound can be named using conventional systems that include Greek prefixes where appropriate. Prefixes will be limited to represent values from one to 10. Given the name of an ionic or covalent substance, formulas can be written. Naming organic molecules is beyond this grade level and is reserved for an advanced chemistry course. Prediction of bond types from electronegativity values, polar covalent bonds, and writing formulas/naming compounds that contain polyatomic ions or transition metals are reserved for Chemistry.

Content elaboration: In middle school, the law of conservation of matter was expanded to chemical reactions, noting that the number and type of atoms and the total mass are the same before and after the reaction. In this course, conservation of matter is expressed by writing balanced chemical equations. At this level, reactants and products can be identified from an equation and simple equations can be written and balanced given either the formulas of the reactants and products or a word description of the reaction. [cite: 143, 149] Stoichiometric relationships beyond the coefficients in a balanced equation and classification of types of chemical reactions are reserved for Chemistry. During chemical reactions, thermal energy is either transferred from the system to the surroundings (exothermic) or transferred from the surroundings to the system (endothermic). Since the environment surrounding the system can be large, temperature changes in the surroundings may not be detectable. Nuclear reactions involve changes to the nucleus and typically produce much larger energies than chemical reactions. The strong nuclear force is an attractive force that binds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus. While the nuclear force is extremely weak at most distances, over the very short distances present in the nucleus the force is greater than the repulsive electrical forces among protons. When the attractive nuclear forces and repulsive electrical forces in the nucleus are not balanced, the nucleus is unstable. Through radioactive decay, the unstable nucleus emits radiation in the form of very fast-moving particles and energy to produce a new nucleus. Nuclei that undergo this process are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay can result in the release of different types of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma), each with a characteristic mass, charge, and potential to alter and penetrate the material it strikes. Alpha decay changes the identity of the element. Beta decay results from the decay of a neutron. When a radioisotope undergoes alpha or beta decay, the resulting nucleus can be predicted and the balanced nuclear equation can be written. For any radioisotope, the half-life is unique and predictable. Graphs can be constructed that show the amount of a radioisotope that remains as a function of time and can be interpreted to determine the value of the half-life. Half-life values are used in radioactive dating. Only whole number integers of half-lives will be addressed in this course. Other examples of nuclear processes include nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission involves splitting a large nucleus into smaller nuclei, releasing large quantities of energy. Nuclear fusion is the joining of smaller nuclei into a larger nucleus accompanied by the release of large quantities of energy. Nuclear fusion is the process responsible for formation of elements in the universe beyond hydrogen and is the source of energy in the sun and other stars. Using nuclear reactions as an energy resource can be addressed. Further details about nuclear processes, including mass-energy equivalence and nuclear power applications, are addressed in Physics.
