The coordinated bond

Three types of chemical bonds are met, the ionic, the covalent and the coordinated bonds. Once established, the coordinated bond acts as a covalent one. Only the covalent and coordinated bonds intervene in absorption and fluorescence. 

Covalent bond occurs between two or more atoms. The formation and stability of these molecules are associated with an equal sharing of valence electrons, i.e., covalent bonding. The electrons participating in the chemical bond will belong to the same molecular bond, i.e., to the same molecule. 

There are three types of covalent bonds in the ground state, a, n and n. In the a bond, the molecular orbital is symmetric around the axis of the chemical bond and the electronic density is concentrated between the two atoms participating in the bond. The 71 bond evolves in both sides of the axis of the chemical bond. The electronic density is located between the two atoms participating in the chemical bond. The n bond concerns molecules where the electrons are not shared by the two atoms. The electrons are located in one atom but not in the other. 

Transition from the ground state to the excited one is accompanied by a redistribution of the electronic cloud within the molecular orbital. This is an implicit condition so that transitions occur. 

According to the Franck-Condon principle electronic transitions are so fast that they occur without change in the position of the nuclei, i.e. the nuclei have no time to move during the electronic transition. In fact, the lifetime of an electronic transition is about 1.4 X 10 s, while the lifetime of a nuclei vibration is 22 x 10 s. Thus, the lifetime of the nuclei vibration is approximately 16 times longer the lifetime of an electronic transition. This is why the electronic transitions are showed always as vertical lines.

We are interested in the H-H bond length, so we specify the coordinate bonding those two atoms to the AddRedundant option so that its value will be included in the printout of the optimized structure (the Si-H bond lengths will be included by default).

It is believed [1135,1136] that the decomposition of metal complexes of salicyaldoxime and related ligands is not initiated by scission of the coordination bond M—L, but by cleavage of another bond (L—L) in the chelate ring which has been weakened on M—L bond formation. Decomposition temperatures and values of E, measured by several non-isothermal methods were obtained for the compounds M(L—L)2 where M = Cu(II), Ni(II) or Co(II) and (L—L) = salicylaldoxime. There was parallel behaviour between the thermal stability of the solid and of the complex in solution, i.e. Co < Ni < Cu. A similar parallel did not occur when (L—L) = 2-indolecarboxylic acid, and reasons for the difference are discussed... 

Closed geometries of reaction points are induced by the coordination bonds.

Attempts to realize enzymatic reactions have been reported over the past four decades in the context of host-guest chemistry, presently a well-established research field. In the field of CPOs, much attention has been paid to identical research objectives. The host-guest chemistry based on CPOs holds a special position, because specific selectivity and reactivity will be achieved using the coordination-bond-forming reactions between the substrate and the incorporated metals in the porphyrins, as well as the redox reaction associated with the porphyrin s rr-electron system. 

Smith (91) reported an X-ray crystal structure of a zinc porphyrin polymer (77, Fig. 32) where, unusually, the coordination bond is between a nitro group and the zinc center. The tetranitroporphyrin is highly substituted, and the resulting steric hindrance causes the macrocycle to be noticeably distorted. Adjacent porphyrin planes in the polymer are almost orthogonal. However, there is no evidence of polymerization in solution, and the nitro-zinc interaction is probably too weak to maintain this structure outside the solid state. 

In the case of r)2-coordination of the exocyclic C=C bond, it becomes substantially elongated compared with the double bond of free alkenes, as a result of back donation from the metal to the 7t orbitals of the double bond. For instance, in complex 17b the coordinated bond length is 1.437 A (see Fig. 3.2).18 This is also reflected in the loss of planarity around the quaternary exocyclic carbon, the methylenic carbon being bent out of the ring plane by 10.78°.18 Similar structural features were also observed with other P2Pd conjugated olefin complexes.39... 

The formation of a coordinate bond is the result of the donation and acceptance of a pair of electrons. This in itself suggests that if a specific electron donor interacts with a series of metal ions (electron acceptors) there will be some variation in the stability of the coordinate bonds depending on the acidity of the metal ion. Conversely, if a specific metal ion is considered, there will be a difference in stability of the complexes formed with a series of electron pair donors (ligands). In fact, there are several factors that affect the stability of complexes formed between metal ions and ligands, and some of them will now be described. 

The length of the coordinative bond (2.86 A) corresponds to a normal Sb-Sb single bond. The coordination geometries of the donor or acceptor antimony atoms are distorted tetrahedral for the former and pseudo trigonal bipyramidal for the latter with the iodine atoms in axial (I-Sb-I 169.71°) and the lone pair, the Me3Sb and the methyl group in equatorial positions.
