Course Content (Syllabus)
The d-block elements: atomic properties, physical properties and oxidation numbers. Coordination compounds and types of ligands. Coordination numbers and geometries. Nomenclature of the coordination compounds. Structural isomerism and stereoisomerism in coordination compounds. Bonding Theories of coordination compounds: Valence Bond Theory, Crystal-filed Theory and Ligand-Field Theory. Magnetic properties and UV-vis spectroscopy of coordination compounds (Orgel and Tanabe-Sugano diagrams). Thermodynamic stability of coordination compounds and factors affecting it: formation constants, hard and soft acids and bases, chelate, macrocyclic and steric effects. Synthesis of coordination compounds: substitution reactions, thermal decomposition, oxidation of the metal center, reactions of ligands and synthesis of isomers. Kinetic stability of coordination compounds. Substitution reactions (mechanisms, substitution in octahedral and square-planar complexes), isomerization and redox reactions. Applications of coordination compounds.
Laboratory exercises.
Synthesis of nickel(II) coordination compounds with dithiocarbamate anions and phosphines as ligands: study of compounds with magnetic susceptibility measurements, conductivity measurements and FTIR spectroscopy. Synthesis of manganese(III) and nickel (II) coordination compounds with Schiff-base ligand: study of compounds with magnetic susceptibility measurements and FTIR spectroscopy. Synthesis of cobalt(III) coordination compounds with water, ammonia and diethylamine as ligands: study of compounds with magnetic susceptibility measurements, conductivity measurements and UV-vis spectroscopy (determination of spectrochemical series of different ligands). Laboratory reports. Bibliographic work.
