(a) Write the IUPAC name and hybridisation of the complex [ Fe ( CN ) 6 ] 3 − .
(Given : Atomic number ofFe = 26 )
(b) What is the difference between an ambidentate ligand and a chelating ligand?
(Given : Atomic number of
(b) What is the difference between an ambidentate ligand and a chelating ligand?
Solution:
(a) [ Fe ( CN ) 6 ] 3 - hexacyanoferrate (III) ion hybridization − d 2 s p 3 NO 2 − can bind to the central atom or ion at either the nitrogen atom or one of the oxygen atom.
Chelating ligand : If the ligands with two or more electron donor groups positioned in such a way that they form five or six membered ring with central metal ion are called chelating ligands. e.g. ethane -1, 2-diamine (en)
(b) Ambidentate ligand can bond through different atoms to form different coordination compounds. e.g.
Chelating ligand : If the ligands with two or more electron donor groups positioned in such a way that they form five or six membered ring with central metal ion are called chelating ligands. e.g. ethane -1, 2-diamine (en)
