Coordination Chemistry II: Bonding Chapter 10 Thermodynamic Data Stability constants or formation constants are often used to indicate bond strengths. What does a high formation constant mean? Thermodynamic data is most valuable in predicting relationships among similar complexes. Formation constants can be affected by enthalpy and entropy changes. Table 10-2 and the chelate effect. Magnetic Susceptibility Diamagnetic versus paramagnetic complexes. Measurement (Figure 10-1). Commonly provides mass susceptibility per gram. Contributions to the Magnetic Moment Spin magnetic moment S = maximum total spin in the complex O atom Orbital angular momentum Characterized by the quantum number L which is equal the maximum possible sum of ml values. O atom Contributions to the Magnetic Moment Usually, the spin-only moment is sufficient to calculate the magnetic moment. Especially for the first transition series where g is approximated to be 2 and n is the number of unpaired electrons. Determine the spin-only and complete magnetic moment for Fe. Electronic Spectra Orbital energy levels can be obtained directly from electron spectra (covered earlier). This chapter illustrates simple energy level diagrams that are commonly more complex. Based upon subtle differences in electronic spectra, the structure may be predicted with some success. Theories of Electronic Structure Valence Bond Theory – Not commonly used, but the hybrid notation is still common. Crystal Field Theory – An electrostatic approach used to describe the splitting in metal d-orbital energies. Does not describe bonding. Ligand Field Theory – A more complete description of bonding in terms of the electronic energy levels of the frontier orbitals. Commonly does not include energy of the bonding orbitals. Angular Overlap Method – Used to estimate the relative magnitude of the orbital energies in a MO calculation. Valence bond Theory (hybridization) A set of hybrid orbitals is produced to explain the bonding. Oct
