Chapter 19 Flashcards
Structural Isomers
- diff bonds
- diff formula
- diff name
Linkage structural isomer
rearranged atoms with different bonds
Coordination structural isomer
switched atom in coordination cmpd and counter ion
ex) [MASB]C and [MASC]B
Stereoisomers
- same bonds, diff orientations
- same formula
- diff name
Cis Geometric Stereoisomer
Same atoms on same side
Trans Geometric Stereoisomer
Same atoms on opp. side
Optical Stereoisomer
isomers are mirror images
Crystal field theory
considers d orbital orientations and covalent bonds to transition metals
eg plane (CFT)
electron density on axis
tg plane (CFT)
electron density between axes
- electron repulsions
Octahedral d-orbital diagram
- 90 degree
- ligands bond on axis
- t2g on lower E level, eg on higher E level
- refer to spectrochemical series for splitting E
Tetrahedral d-orbital diagram
- 109.5 degree
- ligands bond between axes
- eg on lower E level, t2g on higher E level
- small splitting energy
Square planar d-orbital diagram
- bonds lie on axes
- refer to physical flashcard for this
- large splitting E
When splitting E is small, would electrons rather be paired or promoted?
promoted
When splitting E is large, would electrons rather be paired or promoted?
paired
