配位化合物は、中性錯体イオンまたは荷電錯イオンと対価の対イオンからなる中性種です。錯体イオンは、配位子として知られる分子またはイオンに結合した中心金属イオンです。
配位子は、1つ以上の電子対を持つ化合物です。それらは、金属イオンに電子のペアを供与することによりルイス塩基として機能し、金属イオンはルイス酸として機能して配位共有結合を形成します。一緒に、それらは調整球を構成します。 
1893年、アルフレッド・ヴェルナーは、特定の安定分子が反応して原子価理論に違反して配位化合物を形成する理由を説明するために、配位理論を提案しました。ヴェルナーは、さまざまなコバルト-アンモニア錯体を研究することにより、中央の金属原子が2種類の原子価相互作用を示すと仮定しました。
一次原子価は中央金属の酸化数であり、二次原子価はそれに結合した配位子の数であり、配位数とも呼ばれます。したがって、有界配位子の数が減少すると、対イオンは金属イオンに直接結合し、二次原子価を維持することができます。 
ヴェルナーの配位理論は、今日では配位化合物の化学式を書くために使用されています。金属イオンの記号から始めて、すべての配位子をアルファベット順にリストします。錯体イオンを角括弧で囲み、最後にカウンターイオンをリストアップします。数字の下付き文字を使用して、リガンドの数と関与するカウンターイオンを示します。
配位化合物の体系的な命名法として、まず、錯体イオンに名前を付けます。まず、リガンドをアルファベット順に並べます。アニオン性配位子は文字-oで終わりますが、中性配位子は、アクアやアンミンなどのいくつかの例外を除いて、その分子名で示されます。
di-、tri-、tetra-などのギリシャ語の接頭辞を使用して、リガンドの数を示します。リガンド名にプレフィックスがすでに存在する場合は、括弧内にリガンド名を持つ bis- tri- または tetrakis の代替プレフィックスを使用します。
次に、金属の名前とその酸化状態に、括弧内にローマ数字を使用して名前を付けます。アニオン錯体の場合、金属名には-ateが付きます。
最後に、配位化合物は、最初に陽イオン名を追加し、次に陰イオンを追加することによって命名されます。したがって、2つの配位化合物は、アンミネクロロビス(エチレンジアミン)臭化コバルト(III)およびジアクアテトラクロロコバルテートアンモニウム(III)と呼ばれます。

配位化合物と錯体

ほとんどの典型元素の化合物では、孤立した原子の価電子が結合して、オクテット則を満たす化学結合を形成します。例えば、炭素の4個の価電子は、4個の水素原子の電子と合わさってCH4を形成します。また、ナトリウムから出た1個の価電子は、塩素の7個の価電子と合わさってイオン性のNaClになる（Figure 1a）。遷移金属は通常このような結合を形成しません。遷移金属は主に配位共有結合を形成します。これはルイス酸-塩基相互作用の一形態で、結合の両電子がドナー（ルイス塩基、例えばアンモニア分子）から電子アクセプター（ルイス酸、例えばコバルトイオン）に提供される（Figure 1b）。配位錯体のルイス酸は、中心金属イオン（または中心原子）と呼ばれ、多くの場合、遷移金属または内部遷移金属です。配位子と呼ばれるルイス塩基の供与体は、原子、分子、イオンなど、さまざまな化学種です。唯一の条件は、中心金属に提供できる1つ以上の電子対を有していることです。多くの場合、ドナーとなる原子（窒素原子、Figure 1b）は、金属との間に配位結合を形成できる孤立電子対を有しています。
 <img alt="Image1" src="/files/ftp_upload/11455/11455_Image_1.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 150px;" />
 Figure 1 (a) 共有結合はその名の通り電子を共有した結合であり。イオン結合は、色のついた電子で示されるように、結合する各原子に関連する電子を移動させることで結合するものです。 (b) しかし、配位共有結合では、ルイス塩基の電子が金属中心に供与されます。6個のアンモニア分子の孤立電子対がコバルトイオンに結合し、八面体の錯体を形成します。
 配位圏とは、中心となる金属イオンまたは原子と、それに付随する配位子を指します。式中の括弧は配位圏を囲んでおり、括弧の外側の種は配位圏に含まれません。中心となる金属イオンまたは原子の配位数は、その金属イオンまたは原子に結合しているドナー原子の数です。[Ag(NH3)2]+の銀イオンの配位数は2であり、[CuCl4]2&#8722.の銅(II)イオンの配位数は2です。 の銅(II)イオンの配位数は4であり、[Co(H2O)6]2+のコバルト(II)イオンの配位数は6であることを示しています。
 錯体の命名法
 錯体の命名法は、100年以上前にノーベル賞を受賞したスイスの化学者、アルフレッド・ウェルナーが提案した方法を参考にしています。錯体の命名には以下の5つのルールがあります。
 <ol>
 <li>配位化合物がイオン性の場合は、通常の命名法に従って、最初に陽イオン、次に陰イオンの名前を付けます。</li>
 <li>最初に配位子の名前を挙げ、次に中心となる金属の名前を挙げます。配位子はアルファベット順に命名します。負の配位子（陰イオン）は、語幹に-oという接尾語を付けて命名します。ほとんどの中性の配位子には、分子の名前を用います。例外として、アクア (H2O)、アンミン (NH3)、カルボニル (CO)、ニトロシル (NO)の4つがあります。例えば、ジアミンテトラクロロ白金(IV)として[Pt(NH3)2Cl4]を挙げられます。</li>
 <li>ある配位子が2つ以上存在する場合、その数は接頭辞di-(2の場合)、tri-(3の場合)、tetra-(4の場合)、penta-(5の場合)、hexa-(6の場合)で示します。配位子の名前にすでにdi-、tri-、tetra-が含まれている場合や、配位子の名前が母音で始まる場合には、bis-(2の場合)、tris-(3の場合)、tetrakis-(4の場合)という接頭語が使われることもあります。例えば、bis(bipyridyl)osmium(II)というイオンは、Osに2つの配位子が結合しており、それぞれのビピリジル配位子が2つのピリジル基（C5H4N）を含んでいることを意味するためにbis-を使用しています。</li>
 </ol>
 錯体が陽イオンまたは中性分子の場合、中心となる金属原子の名前は元素名と全く同じ綴りで、その後に酸化状態を示すローマ数字を括弧で囲みます。
 錯体が陰イオンの場合は、金属名の語幹に-ateという接尾語を付け、その後に酸化状態を表すローマ数字を付けます。また、英語名が使いにくい場合は、金属のラテン語名を使うこともあります。例えば、ironateの代わりにferrate、leadateの代わりにplumbate、tinateの代わりにstannateなどが用いられます。
 金属の酸化状態は、各配位子の電荷と、配位化合物の全体の電荷に基づいて決定されます。例えば、[Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Brでは、配位圏（括弧内）は臭化物イオンと釣り合うように1+の電荷を持っています。水の配位子は電荷中性で、塩化物の配位子はそれぞれ1−の電荷を持つ陰イオン性です。金属の酸化状態を調べるには、全体の電荷を配位子と金属の合計に等しくすればよいです。+1 = −2 + xなので、酸化状態(x)は+3となります。

KEY TERMS AND CONCEPTS

主要用語と概念

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

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...

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.
