In empirical formulas of inorganic compounds, electropositive elements are listed first [3]. The stoichiometry of the element symbols is indicated at the lower right-hand side by index numbers. If necessary, the charges of ions are placed at the top right-hand side next to the element symbol (e.g., S "). In ions of complexes, the central atom is specified before the ligands are listed in alphabetical order, the complex ion is set in square brackets (e.g., Na2[Sn(OH)+]). 

Bromine is moderately soluble in water, 33.6 g/L at 25°C. It gives a crystalline hydrate having a formula of Br2 <7.9H2 O (6). The solubiUties of bromine in water at several temperatures are given in Table 2. Aqueous bromine solubiUty increases in the presence of bromides or chlorides because of complex ion formation. This increase in the presence of bromides is illustrated in Figure 1. Kquilibrium constants for the formation of the tribromide and pentabromide ions at 25°C have been reported (11). 

The compounds formed when a hydroxyl group (-OH) is substituted for a hydrogen are called alcohols. They have the general formula R-OH. The hydroxyl radical looks exactly like the hydroxide ion, but it is not an ion. Where the hydroxide ion fits the definition of a complex ion - a chemical combination of two or more atoms that have colleetively lost or (as in this case) gained one or more electrons - the... 

The application of this principle is shown in Table 15.1, where we list the formulas of several complexes formed by platinum(II), which shows a coordination number of 4. Notice that one of the species, Pt(NH3)2Cl2, is a neutral complex rather than a complex ion the charges of the two Cl- ions just cancel that of the central Pt2+ ion. 

Write formulas (including charges) of all complex ions formed by cobalt(III) with the hydroxide ion and/or ethylenediamine (eri) molecules as ligands. 

The physical and chemical properties of complex ions and of the coordination compounds they form depend on the spatial orientation of ligands around the central metal atom. Here we consider the geometries associated with the coordination numbers 2,4, and 6. With that background, we then examine the phenomenon of geometric isomerism, in which two or more complex ions have the same chemical formula but different properties because of their different geometries. 

Two or more species with different physical and chemical properties but the same formula are said to be isomers of one another. Complex ions can show many different kinds of isomerism, only one of which we will consider. Geometric isomers are ones that differ only in the spatial orientation of ligands around the central metal atom. Geometric isomerism is found in square planar and octahedral complexes. It cannot occur in tetrahedral complexes where all four positions are equivalent... 

Suppose that the metal is replaced by Pt(IV) write the formula of the complex ion. 

Chromium(IH) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each chromium complex ion described below. 

Write the formula for the phosphate salt (if the complex ion is a cation) or the aluminum salt (if the complex ion is an anion) for the ions in Question 5. 

Ferrous ion, iron(II), forms a complex with six cyanide ions, CN- the octahedral complex is called ferrocyanide. Ferric ion, iron(III), forms a complex with six cyanide ions the octahedral complex is called ferricyanide. Write the structural formulas for the ferrocyanide and the ferricyanide complex ions. 

This relationship enables one to determine the coordination number p of the complex ion and thus its formula. 

In aqueous solution, water competes effectively with bromide ions for coordination to Cir+ ions. The hexaaquacopper(II) ion is the predominant species in solution. However, in the presence of a large concentration of bromide ions, the solution becomes deep violet. This violet color is due to the presence of the tetrabromocuprate(Il) ions, which are tetrahedral. This process is reversible, and so the solution becomes light blue again on dilution with water, (a) Write the formulas of the two complex ions of copper(II) that form, (b) Is the change in color from violet to blue on dilution expected Explain your reasoning. 

In aq soln HgjfNOjfj reacts with Na4P207 (Na4L) to form complex ions with the formulas [Hg2(OH)L] and [Hg2L2r. The tripolyphosphate [PjO,)] " and tetrapolyphosphate [P40 3] ions form similar complex ions. The stability of these complex phosphates decreases as the chain length increases. The dicarboxylic acids oxalic, dimethylmalonic and succinic, H2L, form complexes with Hg2 ions ... 

The stoichiometiy of a metal complex is described by its chemical formula. For example, each cation of the silver-ammonia complex contains one Ag cation bound to two neutral NH3 ligands and carries a net charge of -i-l, as shown in Figure 18-11. The formula of a complex ion is enclosed in square brackets, as in [ Ag (NH3)2. The... 

Complex ions, also called coordination complexes, have well-defined stoichiometries and structural arrangements. Usually, the formula of a coordination complex is enclosed in brackets to show that the metal and all its ligands form a single structural entity. When an ionic coordination complex is isolated from aqueous solution, the product is composed of the complex ion and enough counter-ions to give a neutral salt. In the chemical formula, the counter-ions are shown outside the brackets. Examples include the sulfate salt of [Ni (NH3)g, ... 

C20-0045. Write the formulas of the following complex ions (a) c/s-tetraamminechloronitrocobalt(III) (b) amminetrichloroplatinate(II) (c) /rans-diaquabis(ethylenediamine)copper(II) and (d) tetrachloroferrate(ni). 

Much more Zn(OH)2 will dissolve since essentially all of the released Zn2+ ions are incorporated into the soluble Zn(OH)42 complex because Kd is so small. When significant complex ion formation occurs as it does in this case, the molar solubility must include the concentrations of all the Zn2+ species. Also we cannot assume that [OH-] remains at 0.25 M throughout this process. The net concentration of OH- ion decreases slightly For every one formula unit of Zn(OH)2 that dissolves producing 2 OH- ions, one formula unit of Zn(OH)42- will form, removing 4 OH- ions. The net result is that for every 1 mol/L of Zn(OH)2 that dissolves (the molar solubility), approximately 1 mol/L of Zn(OH)42- is produced, but 2 mol/L of OH- is lost. Therefore,... 

It did not prove possible to synthesize a substituent-free Ga complex with formula Cp (CO)2Fe Fe(CO)4 Ga (Scheme 13).43 Addition of bipy to 30 resulted in halide elimation, but the main group element in the product 31 was coordinated by the bipy ligand. Upon addition of dppe, however, substitution of the carbonyl ligands occurred instead along with halide ion elimination to produce the substituent-free Ga complex 32. It has a linear coordination environment (Fe-Ga-Fe angle = 176.01(4)°), and the Ga-Fe bond distances are much shorter than in those related adducts where donor ligands are also bound to the Ga atom.43 The authors attributed the non-observation of the carbonyl derivative to a need for an electron-rich metal center to stabilize the Fe-Ga bond via 7r-backdonation. 

When writing the formula of a complex, the symbol of the metal is written first, then the negatively charged ligands, followed by the neutral ligands. Finally, the formula of the complex ion is enclosed within square brackets as in, for example, [Fe(0H)2(Hp)J+. This ion has an overall charge of -rl as this is the sum of the Fe + ion and the two 0H ions.

Also two salts are known of molecular formula Co(NH3)5Br(S04) one is reddish violet in colour, and a freshly prepared aqueous solution contains sulphate ions the other is red in colour, and a freshly prepared aqueous solution contains bromine ions but no sulphate ions. The former substance is bromo-pentammino-cobaltie sulphate, [Co(NH3)5Br]S04 the latter is sulphato-pentammino-cobaltie bromide, [Co(NH3)5S04]Br.2 It is interesting to note that in the second compound the sulphate radicle occupies one co-ordinate position, but it also requires two principal valencies, and thus the complex ion is monovalent. 

Molecule 14 is a tetradentate ligand consisting of two bpy moieties linked in 3- and -positions by a CH2OCH2 spacer the plain bpy ligand forms complexes of formula [M bpylJ+ of tetrahedral geometry with d10 metal ions, such as Cu1 and Ag1, whose extra stability results from the donation of electron density from filled dn orbitals of the metal to empty molecular orbitals of bpy molecules. 

Figure 2.13 The dinucleating bis-bidentate ligand 14 forms with M1 metal ions of electronic configuration d10 (e.g., Cu1, Ag1) dimetallic complexes of formula [M2I(14)2]2 +, in which two molecules of 14 are intertwined to give a double helix. Ligands of the type 14 are named helicands and complexes such as 15 are called helicates. In this particular case, we have a double-strand helicate.

In the formulae for complex ions the index at the top right-hand comer corresponds to the total charge of the ion, and not to the charge of the negative ion. If it is wished to express the charges of the individual ions, then the formulae would have to be written S6+OJ or N5+0. From such formulae the total charge can be derived, but if it is necessary to express it, the ions can be written (S +0 ")2 , (N6 + OJ-)-, etc.
