Q

what type of ligands go with high spin

A

weak field
eg if you spin alot and then flight youd be really weak and bad

Q

what type of ligands go with low spin

A

Strong field
eg if you were in a fight and got spun a low amount youd be stronger than if you were spun alot

Q

ni 2 + pi acceptor ligands what shape?

A

square planar

17
Q

ni2 + bulky ligands (halides) what shape?

A

tetrahedral

18
Q

ni2 + sigma donor ligands eg nh3 en h20, what shape?

A

Octahedral

19
Q

how do we convert a ni2 tetrahedral shape to a ni2 octahedral shape?

A

It happens upon solvent coordination. When we use DMF as a solvent it may occur.

20
Q

what are examples of a cn 5 ? trigonal bipyramidal

A

mn+ first transition series
d1,2,3,4,8,9,10

21
Q

what are examples of a cn 5? square based pyramidal

A

d6 d7 low spin
or d0/s1/d2 oxo or nitro complexes where oxo or nitro occupies axial site

22
Q

Interconversion between CN5 forms

A

the energy difference between Trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramid is small so they display fluxonial behaviour where they isomerize from one structure to another rapidly.
we can prove this is the case by NMR and IR.

23
Q

what are examples of a cn 6 ? octahedral

A

most complexes form this shape
it is the best compromise between increased acceptor bond energy shown by high CN and decreased ligand ligand steric interaction shown from high CNs.
Also the hugh symmetry gives low energy to three d orbitals which is favourable.

24
Q

CN 6 octahedral - Isomer names 2,4

A

cis trans

25
Q

CN 6 octahedral - isomer names 3,3

A

fac mer

26
Q

What are enantiomers?

A

Enantiomers are stereoisomers (specifically optical isomers) that are non-superimposiblle mirror images of eachother

27
Q

enantiomers of tris-chelate complexes.

A

they are enantiomers if they display righthandedness and lefthandedness

28
Q

what are examples of a cn 6? trigonal prismatic

A

d0 or d1 complexes with ligands are sigma donors only
or
d0 d1 d2 metal complexes containing dithiolate ligands

29
Q

factors determining low coordination numbers

A

electron rich metal centres (low ox states)
small metal centres bulky ligands soft donor atoms

30
Q

factors determining high coordination numbers

A

high ox states large metal centres small ligands hard donor atoms on ligand
