(Midterm) Post-lab Discussion Handouts Flashcards
Molecules in which most of the bonding structures can be described by classical theories of valency between atoms, but one or more of these bonds are somewhat anomalous
Complex Compounds
Types of Complexes
- Metal Complex
- Organic molecular complex
- Inclusion Complex
Leads to the formation of coordination bonds
between the species
Metal Complex
Classification of Metal Complex
- Inorganic types
- Chelates
- Olefin types
Metal ion constitute the central atom
(substrate) and interacts with a base
(electron-pair donor, ligand).
Metal Complex
Components are organic molecules and these are held together by weaker forces or hydrogen bonding.
Organic Molecular Complexes
Classification of organic molecular complex
- Drug and caffeine complexes
- Polymer types
- Picric acid types
- Quinhydrone types
Caffeine + organic acid anions
Drug and Caffeine complexes
Drugs such as benzocaine, procaine and
tetracaine form complexes with caffeine.
Drug and Caffeine complexes
Examples of Drugs:
tannic acid, salicylic acid, phenols, etc
Examples of Polymers:
carbowaxes, plunorics, etc.
Caffeine + organic acids
Drug and Caffeine complexes
Picric acid forms organic molecular complexes
with weak bases, whereas it combines with
strong bases to yield salts.
Picric acid Types
Obtained by mixing alcoholic solutions of
equimolar quantities of hydroquinone and
benzoquinone.
Quinhydrone Complexes
Available as white crystalline powder, during
crystallization, certain substances form a
cage-like lattice in which the coordinating
compound is entrapped.
Clathrates
Many pharmaceutical additives such as
polyethylene glycols (PEGs), carboxymethyl
cellulose (CMC) contain nucleophilic oxygen.
These can form complexes with various drugs.
Polymer Types
Also called occlusion compounds
Inclusion Complex
One of the components is trapped in the open
lattice or cage like crystal structure of the other.
Inclusion Complex
The analysis of complexes involves the
estimation of two parameters;
- Stoichiometric ratio of ligand-to-metal or
donor-to-acceptor. - Stability constant of the complex.
Formed by crystallization of the host molecules.
Channel Types
Compounds such as clays, montomorillorite
(constituent of bentonite), can entrap
hydrocarbons, alcohols and glycols.
Layer types
Classification ofInclusion Complex
- Channel types
- Layer types
- Clathrates
- Monomolecular types
● Involve the entrapment of a single guest
molecule in the cavity of one host molecule.
● Most of the host molecule are cyclodextrins.
