CHEM 250 (4 Credits): Reactions of Nucleophiles and Electrophiles (Reactivity 1)
CHEM 250 (4 credits): Reactions of Nucleophiles and Electrophiles (Reactivity 1): Description: This course investigates fundamental carbonyl reactivity (addition and substitution) in understanding organic, inorganic and biochemical processes. Some emphasis is placed on enthalpy, entropy and free energy as a basis of understanding reactivity. An understanding of chemical reactivity is based on principles of Lewis acidity and basicity. The formation, stability and reactivity of coordination complexes are included. Together, these topics lead to an understanding of biochemical pathways such as glycolysis. Enzyme regulation and inhibition is discussed in the context of thermodynamics and mechanisms. Various applications of modern multi-disciplinary research will be explored. Prerequisite: CHEM 125. Course Goals and Objectives: 1. Students will gain a qualitative understanding of thermodynamics. A. Students will develop a qualitative understanding of enthalpy and entropy. B. Students will predict the sign of an entropy change for chemical or physical processes. C. Students will understand entropy effects such as the chelate effect on chemical reactions. D. Students will use bond enthalpies or pKas to determine the enthalpy change for a reaction. E. Students will draw or interpret a reaction progress diagram. F. Students will apply the Principle of Microscopic Reversibility to understand reaction mechanisms. G. Students will use Gibbs free energy to relate enthalpy and entropy changes. H. Students will develop a qualitative understanding of progress toward equilibrium under physiological conditions (the difference between G and Go.) I. Students will understand coupled reactions and how this can be used to drive a non- spontaneous reaction toward products. J. Students will apply LeChatelier’s Principle to affect the position of anequilibrium by adding or removing reactants or products. -
Nobel Lecture, 8 December 1981 by ROALD HOFFMANN Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y
BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Nobel lecture, 8 December 1981 by ROALD HOFFMANN Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. 14853 R. B. Woodward, a supreme patterner of chaos, was one of my teachers. I dedicate this lecture to him, for it is our collaboration on orbital symmetry conservation, the electronic factors which govern the course of chemical reac- tions, which is recognized by half of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. From Woodward I learned much: the significance of the experimental stimulus to theory, the craft of constructing explanations, the importance of aesthetics in science. I will try to show you how these characteristics of chemical theory may be applied to the construction of conceptual bridges between inorganic and organic chemistry. FRAGMENTS Chains, rings, substituents - those are the building blocks of the marvelous edifice of modern organic chemistry. Any hydrocarbon may be constructed on paper from methyl groups, CH 3, methylenes, CH 2, methynes, CH, and carbon atoms, C. By substitution and the introduction of heteroatoms all of the skeletons and functional groupings imaginable, from ethane to tetrodotoxin, may be obtained. The last thirty years have witnessed a remarkable renaissance of inorganic chemistry, and the particular flowering of the field of transition metal organo- metallic chemistry. Scheme 1 shows a selection of some of the simpler creations of the laboratory in this rich and ever-growing field. Structures l-3 illustrate at a glance one remarkable feature of transition metal fragments. Here are three iron tricarbonyl complexes of organic moie- ties - cyclobutadiene, trimethylenemethane, an enol, hydroxybutadiene - which on their own would have little kinetic or thermodynamic stability. -

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 WHY STUDY ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY? Organometallic chemists try to understand how organic molecules or groups interact with compounds of the inorganic elements, chiefl y metals. These elements can be divided into the main group, consisting of the s and p blocks of the periodic table, and the transition elements of the d and f blocks. Main-group organometallics, such as n -BuLi and PhB(OH)2 , have proved so useful for organic synthesis that their leading characteristics are usually extensively covered in organic chemistry courses. Here, we look instead at the transition metals because their chemistry involves the intervention of d and f orbitals that bring into play reaction pathways not readily accessible elsewhere in the periodic table. While main-group organometallics are typically stoichiometric reagents, many of their transition metal analogs are most effective when they act as catalysts. Indeed, the expanding range of applications of catalysis is a COPYRIGHTEDmajor reason for the continued MATERIAL rising interest in organo- metallics. As late as 1975, the majority of organic syntheses had no recourse to transition metals at any stage; in contrast, they now very often appear, almost always as catalysts. Catalysis is also a central prin- ciple of Green Chemistry 1 because it helps avoid the waste formation, The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals, Sixth Edition. Robert H.

Metal Ligand Bonding
METAL LIGAND BONDING DR. ALKA GUPTA DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY BRAHMANAND COLLEGE, KANPUR METAL LIGAND BONDING Three modern theories have been suggested to explain the nature of metal-ligand bonding in transition metal complexes. Valence Bond Theory, VBT (due to L. Pauling and J. L. Slater, 1935). Crystal Field Theory, CFT (due to H. Bethe, 1929 and J. Van Vleck, 1932) Ligand Field Theory, LFT or Molecular Orbital Theory, MOT (due to J. Van Vleck, 1935). Valence Bond Theory (VBT) Assumptions: The central metal atom provides a number of empty s, p and d atomic orbitals equal to it’s co- ordination number for the formation of co- ordinate bond with ligand orbitals. Each ligand has at least one s-orbital containing a lone pair of electrons. The empty orbitals of the metal ion hybridise together to form hybrid orbitals which are equal in number as the atomic orbitals taking part in hybridisation. These are vacant, equivalent in energy and have definite geometry. Different types of hybridisation in co- ordination compounds C.N.

Lecture 28: Transition Metals: Crystal Field Theory Part I
5.111 Lecture #28 Wednesday, November 19, 2014 Reading For Today: 16.8-16.11 in 4th and 5th editions Reading for Lecture #29: same as above Topic: I. Introduction to Crystal Field Theory II. Crystal Field Theory: Octahedral Case III. Spectrochemical Series I. Introduction to Crystal Field Theory Crystal field and ligand field theories were developed to explain the special features of transition metal coordination complexes, including their beautiful colors and their magnetic properties. Coordination complexes are often used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other types of imaging. Basic idea behind theories: When a metal ion with a given oxidation number (Mn+, where M is a metal and n+ is its oxidation number) is placed at the center of a coordination sphere defined by a set of ligands, the energy levels of the d orbitals housing the metal electrons are from those in the free metal ion. Crystal field theory is based on an ionic description of the metal-ligand bond. Ligand field theory includes covalent and ionic aspects of coordination. It is a more powerful description of transition metal complexes. It is, however, beyond the scope of this course. (Take 5.03 if you are interested in this topic). Crystal Field Theory considers ligands as point charges and considers the repulsion between the negative point charges and the d-orbitals, and even though this theory is simple, a number of properties of transition metals can be explained.

Espen Tangen A dissertation for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor UNIVERSITY OF TROMSØ Faculty of Science Centre for Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Department of Chemistry September 2008 - 2 - A DISSERTATION FOR THE DEGREE OF PHILOSOPHIAE DOCTOR BONDING IN LOW-COORDINATE COMPLEXES WHAT, IF ANYTHING, IS SPECIAL? Espen Tangen September 2008 Centre for Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science University of Tromsø, N-9037 Tromsø, Norway - 3 - - 4 - Abstract ABSTRACT To contribute to the fundamental picture of the electronic structure of low-coordinate transition metal complexes, we have carried out a series of DFT studies on mono-imido and nitrosyl complexes for different metal ions (MnII/III, FeII/III/IV, CoII/III) and different systems of basal ligands. These studies reveal striking similarities of the electronic structure for these systems. The distinction of bent versus linear NO units is attributed to the ranking of the dz2 and dxz/yz parentage MOs relative to each other. Without a ligand trans to the NO group, the antibonding metal dz2- NO σ orbital interaction is lessened by mixing in metal pz, causing the MO to shift away from the NO ligand. This exact same orbital interaction appears to explain the existence of middle to late first-row transition metal imido complexes. Keywords: Transition metals, DFT, low-coordinate, imido, nitrosyl, molecular orbitals. IV Front cover: The metal dz2 - imido σ orbital antibonding combination of a simple Fe -imido model. - 5 - Acknowledgements ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The work leading to this thesis was carried out at the Chemistry Department at the Faculty of Science at the University of Tromsø. -

Part One Structure and Bonding
Part One Structure and Bonding 3 1 Bonding in Coordination Compounds 1.1 d Wavefunctions The wavefunction of an electron, in polar coordinates (Figure 1.1 ), is expressed by m m the formula φθφnlm,,= Rr() nl , Y (, )l , where R n,l is the radial part and Yl the angular part. Symmetry operations only alter the angular part, regardless of the value of n (the principal quantum number). m Yl corresponds to what are known as spherical harmonics, which can be broken m down into two independent parts, Θl and Φ m , which in turn depend on the angles m m m θ and φ of the polar coordinates, Y l =Θl Φm. Φl are the standard Legendre poly- − 1/2 i m φ nomials, which depend on sin θ and cos θ ; and Φ m = (2 π ) e . 0 The wavefunctions of the orbitals s, p, d and f are expressed as follows: Y0 refers 0 1 −1 0 ±1 ±2 to an s orbital; Y1 , Y1 , Y1 to the three p orbitals; Y2 , Y2 , Y2 to the d orbitals; 0 ±1 ±2 ±3 and Y3 , Y3 , Y3 , Y3 to the f orbitals. The mathematical expressions of these − 1/2 i m φ ± i m φ functions have an imaginary part, Φ m = (2 π ) e . Given that e = cos( ml φ ) ± isin( ml φ ), one usually works with linear combinations of the orbitals, which enable the imaginary part to be suppressed. Those functions in which the imaginary part has been suppressed are known as real wavefunctions of the atomic orbitals. -

INTRODUCTION: Coordination Chemistry of Complexes This module follows from the transition metals chemistry module of CH2501. Here, there will Be a focus on understanding the thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions involving metal aqua complexes. In particular, concepts relating to stepwise and gloBal equiliBrium constants and their relationship to the free energy of formation will Be discussed. The chelate effect will Be explored as it pertains to the thermodynamic stability of the complexes. Kinetic lability and its link to thermodynamic stability will also Be investigated. Finally, there will Be a more detailed exploration of Both molecular orBital theory and ligand field theory. 2+ [Ru(bpy)3] HOMO LUMO 2. MO Theory Before we can understand MO diagrams and Bonding in complexes, we must understand the nature of the frontier MOs of ligands. There are three types of orBital interactions Between ligands and metals, which define the ligand type: • s-donors • p-donors • p-acceptors 2.1 MO Theory: s-Donor Ligands – - - These ligands donate two e s from an orBital of σ-symmetry.
