Metal Carbonyls: Structure and Bonding CHAPTER 11 Metal-II Complexes: •!• Metal Carbonyls: Structure and Bonding The bonding in coordination compounds is usually visualized as the donation of ligand electron pair to the metal centre only. However, there are some ligands which not only have filled atomic orbitals (donor orbitals) but also have some empty orbitals (acceptor orbitals) of appropriate symmetry and energy to accept electron density from central metal atom or ion. This interaction is called n:-backbonding or n:-backdonation; and is generally shown by CO, NO, PR3 and alkene-alkyne type li gands. Two of the most common examples where n:-backbonding occurs include Ni(C0)4 and Zeise's salt. Furthermore, metal carbonyls are one of the most widely studied type of metal-n: complexes, that can simply be defined as the coordination compounds of transition metals with carbon monoxide as a ligand. Metal carbonyls are very useful in synthetic organic chemistry and in homogeneous catalysis, like the process of hydroformylation. In the Mond process, nickel carbonyl is used to produce pure nickel. In organometallic chemistry, metal carbonyls act as precursors for the synthesis of many organometalic compounds. Metal carbonyls are toxic by inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion, in partially due of their ability to attach to iron of hemoglobin to give carboxyhemoglobin, which inhibits the binding of dioxygen. Metal carbonyls can be classified on the basis of number of metal centres; mononuclear carbonyls have only one metal atom or ion such as Fe(CO)s, while polynuclear carbonyls contain more than one metal centre like homonuclear Fe2(C0)9 and heteronuclear MnRe(C0)10. One more categorization basis of metal carbonyls is the bonding profile of carbonyl li gand; non-bridging carbonyls and bridging carbonyls. Non-bridging carbonyls may or may not contain metal-metal bond. For instance, Ru(CO)s and Mn2(C0)10 both have only terminal carbonyl groups but Mn2(C0)1o has one metal-metal bond also. On the other hand, bridging metal carbonyls like Fe3(C0)12, in addition to terminal CO groups, do have CO groups bridged to more than one metal centres. ~ General Methods ofPreparation 1. By direct reaction: Some of the mononuclear carbonyls can be prepared by the direct reaction of carbon monoxide with metal powder. 2s 0 c Ni + 4CO -----+ Ni(C0)4 1 atm 200°c Fe+ SCO ---------+ Fe(C0)5 200 atm 1so 0 c 2Co + 8CO ---------+ Co 2 (C0)8 35 atm DALAL D INSTITUTE CHAPTER 11 Metal-n Complexes: 427 2. By reduction: One of the most widely used method to synthesize metal carbonyls is the reduction of corresponding metal salts in the presence of carbon monoxide.

From iron pentacarbonyl: Carbon monoxide ligands in Fe(CO)s are labile and therefore can be used synthesize other metal carbonyls. 110°c MoC1 6 + 3Fe(C0)5 -------+ Mo(C0)6 + 3FeCl2 + 9CO ether 110°c WCl 6 + 3Fe(C0)5 ---------+ W(C0)6 + 3FeCl2 + 9CO ether 5. From metathesis reaction: Mixed-metal carbonyls can successfully be prepared via metathesis reaction route as: KCo(C0) 4 + [Ru(C0)3 Cl2 ]z ------+ 2RuCo2 (C0)11 + 4KCI DALAL D INSTITUTE 428 A Textbook of Inorganic Chemistry - Volume I ~ Structures ofMetal Carbonyls The structure of metal carbonyls can mainly be classified into three categories; first as the mononuclear systems that contain only one metal atom, the second one as binuclear systems that may or may not contain bridging carbonyls, and the last one as the polynuclear systems which contain more than two metal centres with all terminal, all bridging, or a mixture of two types of carbonyl groups. 1. Mononuclear metal carbonyls: The structure of mononuclear metal carbonyls is pretty simple and easy to visualize. This is definitely due to the presence of only one metal centre. The general examples of mononuclear metal carbonyls include tetrahedral Ni(C0)4 and Pd(C0)4; the trigonal bipyramidal case ofFe(CO)s, Ru(CO)s and Os(CO)s; and the octahedral geometries of V(C0)6, Cr(C0)6, Mo(CO)s and W(C0)6. co co I \\\\111CO oc ,,,,, I 11\\\CO oc--M·"' '''• ..

Binuclear metal carbonyls: The structure of the binuclear metal carbonyls comprises of two metal centres and involve either metal-metal bonds or bridging CO groups, or both. For example, the Co2(C0)8 is known to exist in two isomers. The first one of has a D 3d symmetry with one metal-metal bond with zero bridging carbonyl; the second one is of C2v symmetry and has two bridging CO ligands along with one metal-metal bond. The structure of Fe2(C0)9 exist with D Jh symmetry, and contains three bridging CO ligands and six terminal CO groups attached. Furthermore, M2C010 (M =Mn, Tc, Re) exists with D 4d symmehy with one metal-metal bond and four CO ligands attached to each of the metal centre. c0 ~o ~~ co oc ~ ~ ~o~ I \ ! oc"' .f; c ~.. /co oc--co----c0 --co .Co Co '!<.,,, •••, \'•,,,,, 0 I \ I oc~ co oc t~ o co oc co Co2(C0)8 Figure 2. continued on next page ...

Polynuclear metal carbonyls: The structures of the polynuclear metal carbonyls comprises of three or more metal centres and involve all bridging, all terminal, or a mixture of two types of CO groups. For example, the Ru3(C0)12 cluster has D3h symmetry, comprises of an equilateral triangle of Ru centres, each of which has two axial and two equatorial CO ligands. Os3(C0)12 has the same structure, whereas Fe3(C0)12 is different, with two bridging CO ligands, resulting in C2v symmetry. M4C012 (M =Co, Rh) is consisted of a tetrahedral M4 core, but the molecular symmetry is C3v· Three carbonyl ligands are bridging ligands and nine are terminal. However, lr4(C0)12 has perfect Td symmetry with no bridging CO ligands groups. The Rh4 and Jr4 clusters are more thermally robust than that of the Co4 compound, reflecting the usual trend in the strengths of metal-metal bond for second and third row metals vs those for the first row metals. Furthermore, [Re4(C0)16]2- has D2h symmetry with no bridging carbonyl. Furthermore, the structure of Os4(C0)16, Os4(C0)1s and Os4(C0)14 are somewhat more complex because of non-rigidity. The tetranuclear Os4(C0)16 is analogues to the cyclobutane with a puckered structure. The X-ray diffraction analysis of Os4(C0)14 unveiled an irregular tetrahedral Os4 skeleton with four weakly semi-bridging CO groups and four different Os-Os bond lengths. The experimental structure of Os4(C0)1s was determined to have a planar butterfly-like geometry consisting of two triangles sharing an edge. The hexanuclear M6(C0)16 (M = Rh, Co) exists with an octahedral core with alternate faces participating in the bridging; i.e. with four triply bridged and twelve terminal carbonyls. 0 ;::,c~ oc ~tg~/co oc'''''7 _..

  • Crystal Field Theory (CFT)
    Crystal Field Theory (CFT) The bonding of transition metal complexes can be explained by two approaches: crystal field theory and molecular orbital theory. Molecular orbital theory takes a covalent approach, and considers the overlap of d-orbitals with orbitals on the ligands to form molecular orbitals; this is not covered on this site. Crystal field theory takes the ionic approach and considers the ligands as point charges around a central metal positive ion, ignoring any covalent interactions. The negative charge on the ligands is repelled by electrons in the d-orbitals of the metal. The orientation of the d orbitals with respect to the ligands around the central metal ion is important, and can be used to explain why the five d-orbitals are not degenerate (= at the same energy). Whether the d orbitals point along or in between the cartesian axes determines how the orbitals are split into groups of different energies. Why is it required? The valence bond approach could not explain the Electronic spectra, Magnetic moments, Reaction mechanisms of the complexes. Assumptions of CFT: 1. The central Metal cation is surrounded by ligand which contain one or more lone pair of electrons. 2. The ionic ligand (F-, Cl- etc.) are regarded as point charges and neutral molecules (H2O, NH3 etc.) as point dipoles. 3. The electrons of ligand does not enter metal orbital. Thus there is no orbital overlap takes place. 4. The bonding between metal and ligand is purely electrostatic i.e. only ionic interaction. The approach taken uses classical potential energy equations that take into account the attractive and repulsive interactions between charged particles (that is, Coulomb's Law interactions).

Channel blockers are used to probe both the sophisticated structure and basic biophysical properties of ion channels. Gating, the mechanism that controls the opening and closing of ion channels, can be profoundly influenced by channel blocking drugs. Channel block and gating are reciprocally connected; gating controls access of channel blockers to their binding sites, and channel-blocking drugs can have profound and diverse effects on the rates of gating transitions and on the stability of channel open and closed states. This review synthesizes knowledge of the inherent intertwining of block and gating of excitatory ligand-gated ion channels, with a focus on the utility of channel blockers as analytic probes of ionotropic glutamate receptor channel function. Keywords: ligand-gated ion channel; channel block; channel gating; nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; ionotropic glutamate receptor; AMPA receptor; kainate receptor; NMDA receptor 1.

  • Limitation of Crystal Field Theory the Main Drawback of the Crystal Field Theory Is That It Does Not Consider the Covalent Character in Metal-Ligand Bonding at All
    CHAPTER 7 Metal-Ligand Bonding: Limitation of Crystal Field Theory The main drawback of the crystal field theory is that it does not consider the covalent character in metal-ligand bonding at all. It treats the metal-ligand interaction in a purely electrostatic framework which is pretty far from reality. All the effects which originate from covalence cannot be explained by this theory. Therefore, the main limitations of crystal field theory can be concluded only after knowing the causes and magnitude of the covalence in the metal-ligand bonds. Evidences for the Covalent Character in Metal–Ligand Bond The crystal field theory considers the metal center as well as surrounding ligands as point charges and assumes that the interaction between them is 100% ionic. However, quite strong experimental evidences have proved that there is some covalent character too which cannot be ignored. Some of those experimental evidences are as follows: 1. The nephelauxetic effect: The electrons present in the partially filled d-orbitals of the metal center repel each other to produce a number of energy levels. The placement of these levels on the energy scale depends upon the arrangement of filled electrons. The energy of these levels can be given in terms of “Racah parameters” B and C (a measure of interelectronic repulsion). The energy difference between same multiplicity states is expressed in B and Dq while between different multiplicity states is given in term of B, Dq and C. It has been observed that the complexation of metal center always results in a decrease in interelectronic repulsion parameters which in turn also advocates a decrease in the repulsion between d-electron density.
