    The document is a solutions guide for a chemistry tutorial covering coordination complexes. [1] The coordination number of Fe in K3[Fe(C2O4)3] is 6 from three bidentate oxalate ligands, while the coordination number of Au in K[Au(CN)2(SCN)2] is 4 from four monodentate ligands. [2] Only oxalate functions as a bidentate ligand among the options given. [3] Questions then provide drawings of example complexes and their names.

    Question 1

    What is the coordination number of the Fe atom is K3[Fe(C2O4)3] and of the Au atom in
    K[Au(CN)2(SCN)2] respectively?

    Solution

    Fe =The coordination number is 6. There are three bidentate ligands attached to the central
    metal, 3 x 2 = 6.

    Au = The coordination number is 4. There are four monodentate ligands attached to the central
    metal

    Question 2

    Which of the following can function as a bidentate ligand? NH3, C2O42‐, CO, OH

    Solution
    Only C2O42‐, oxalate, is a bidentate ligand. The others are all monodentate

    Question 3
    Draw the structure of the following complexes:
    a) trans‐diaquadichloroplatinum (II)
    b) diamminetetra(isothiocyanato)chromate (III)

    1
    Solution

    Question 4

    The compound Na2IrCl6 reacts with triphenylphosphine in diethylene glycol under an atmosphere
    of CO to give trans‐[IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2], known as Vaska’s compound. Excess CO produces a five‐
    coordinate species and treatment with NaBH4 in ethanol gives [IrH(CO)2(PPh3)2]. Draw and name
    the three complexes.

    Solution

    Question 5

    What is macrocyclic effect?

    Solution

    Macrocyclic ligands of appropriate size form more stable complexes than chelate ligands. A
    competition between a non‐cyclic chelating ligand and a macrocyclic (chelating) ligand having
    the same no. and type of donor atoms will generally lead to complex formation predominantly by
    the macrocyclic ligand. This is known as the macrocyclic effect. The entropy term derives this
    type of reaction to the right. The long non cyclic ligand is more flexible than the corresponding
    macrocyclic ligand and can adopt many more conformations than the macrocyclic when it is not
    coordinated.

    Question 6

    Name and draw structures of the following complexes: (a) [Ni(CO)4]; (b) [Ni(CN)4]2–;
    (c) [CoCl4]2–; (d) [Ni(NH3)6]2+.

    3
    Solution

    Question 7

    What are the geometries of the following two complexes?


    (i) [AlCl4]‐
    (ii) [Ag(NH3)2]+

    Solution

    tetrahedral, linear
