Which is first, 4s or 3d
4s fills before 3d
Colorful hydrated ions
first row transition metals
high valent oxides
second and third row metals
Ligands
Lewis base / electron donors / nucleophiles
Monodentate Ligand
one donor atom
Coordination sphere
central metal ion + attached ligands
coordination number
number of donor atoms bound to central ion
tetrahedral
(d0 or d10), low oxidations states
coord number 4, weak ligands
square planar
(d8)
coord number 4, strong ligands
trigonal bipyramidal
coord number 5
octahedral
coord number 6
eg orbitals
dx2-y2, dz2
lobes pointing directly at ligand, higher energy
t2g orbitals
lower energy, lobes point between ligand point charges
Δoct
difference in energy between eg and t2g orbital levels
weak ligands
I- < Br- < Cl- < F- < H2O
