Complex ion naming

An investigation of the physical-chemical properties and IR spectra of melts with relatively low metal concentrations indicated that heptafluorometalate ions, TaF72, are also present in the melt. These measurements initiated the second conceptual step and it was assumed that there are two types of complex ions, namely octafluorometalate, MeF83 , and heptafluorometalate, MeF72, that determine the melt s various properties. 

Table 55 presents the results discussed above. Fluoride melts containing tantalum contain two types of complex ions, namely TaF6 and TaF72 . The equilibrium between the complexes depends on the concentration of fluoride ions in the system, but mostly upon the nature of the outer-sphere cations. The complex ionic structure of the melts can be adjusted by adding cations with a certain polarization potential. For instance, the presence of low polarization potential cations, such as cesium, leads primarily to the formation of TaF72 complexes, while the addition of cations with relatively high polarization potentials, such as lithium or sodium, shifts the equilibrium towards the formation of TaF6 ions.

The silicate minerals crystallize from magma following the fundamental chemical principle that they possess an electrical neutrality. Two basic complex ions, namely (SiO/ )" and (AlSi Og) , form during the early cooling of the magma. They combine selectively with the common cations viz. Mg, Ca, Fe in magma to yield two major groups of silicate minerals. 

The lowCT concentration limit above which decomposition is negligible is around. 05M. To explain the stability at higher concentrations Senderoff [9] and Inman [10] have proposed the existence of an equilibrium brt ween di- and mononuclear Mo(III) complex ions, namely, Mo2(III) <=> 2Mo(III) and that only the mononuclear species Mo(III) is the electroactive species. 

Be familiar with the coordination numbers, geometries, and ligands of complex ions name and write formulas for coordination compounds describe the types of constitutional and stereoisomerism they exhibit ( 22.2) (SPs 22.2, 22.3) (EPs 22.18-22.39)... 

When naming complex ions the number and type of ligands is written first, followed by the name of the central metal ion. If the complex as a whole has a positive charge, i.e. a cation, the name of the central metal is written unchanged and followed by the oxidation state of the metal in brackets, for example [Cu(N 113)4] becomes tetra-ammine copper(II). A similar procedure is followed for anions but the suffix -ate is added to the central metal ion some examples are ... 

The system used to name complex ions is described in Appendix 4. 

Nomenclature of complex ions and organic compounds. We believe that this material is of little value in a beginning course. The students promptly forget how to name a complex ion, because they have litde chance to use the rules. The naming of organic compounds seems better left to a course in organic chemistry.

In naming a complex ion, the ligands are named in alphabetical order. A prefix that is used to indicate the number of ligands is not considered as part of the name of the ligand. For example,... 

If the complex ion containing the metal is an anion, the name of the metal ends in ate. 

A complex may be ionic or neutral. An ionic complex is called a complex ion. A neutral complex is a type of coordination compound. The only difference in naming coordination compounds or complex ions is that anionic complex ions have an ate suffix. 

In Eq. (h) the precipitate of AgCN is produced at first instance consequently, the precipitate of AgCN initially produced gets dissolved by further addition of KCN to afford the complex ion [Ag(CN)2] Eq. (i) and only a negligible quantum of Ag+ ions remain in the solution. Thus, the entire process from ah initio to the final stage of titration may be divided into three distinct portions, namely ... 

Complexes and complex ions are named and written according to lUPAC rules -the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry is the world authority on chemical nomenclature.

The name roseo-cobaltic salts was given to the series by Fremy, but it is due to the research of later investigators, notably Jorgensen, that the roseo-salts were shown to be derived from the hexammino-compounds by replacement of ammonia by water. The salts are clearly marked off from those of the acido-pentammino-series, the purpureo-salts, where acid radicle replaces ammonia in the complex ion. The valency of the complex in the aquo-pentammino-salts is not changed by the entrance of water in place of ammonia. 

Most of the rules for chemical nomenclature are discussed in this chapter The approved system for naming complex ions is given on page 391, and that for naming ortho, meta, and pyro compounds on page 420.
