Get started for freeWould it be better to use octahedral \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}\) complexes or octahedral \(\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\) complexes to determine whether a given ligand is a strong-field or weak-field ligand by measuring the number of unpaired electrons? How else could the relative ligand field strengths be determined?
Carbon monoxide is toxic because it binds more strongly to iron in hemoglobin (Hb) than does \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\). Consider the following reactions and approximate standard free energy changes: $$\begin{array}{cl}\mathrm{Hb}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{HbO}_{2} & \Delta G^{\circ}=-70 \mathrm{~kJ} \\ \mathrm{Hb}+\mathrm{CO} \longrightarrow \mathrm{HbCO} & \Delta G^{\circ}=-80 \mathrm{~kJ}\end{array}$$ Using these data, estimate the equilibrium constant value at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) for the following reaction: $$\mathrm{HbO}_{2}+\mathrm{CO} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{HbCO}+\mathrm{O}_{2}$$
Amino acids can act as ligands toward transition metal ions. The simplest amino acid is glycine \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H}\right)\). Draw a structure of the glycinate anion \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{2}^{-}\right)\) acting as a bidentate ligand. Draw the structural isomers of the square planar complex \(\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{2}\right)_{2}\)
Qualitatively draw the crystal field splitting of the \(d\) orbitals in a trigonal planar complex ion. (Let the \(z\) axis be perpendicular to the plane of the complex.)
Qualitatively draw the crystal field splitting for a trigonal bipyramidal complex ion. (Let the \(z\) axis be perpendicular to the trigonal plane.)
