Chapter 23: Q79P (page 1022)

Palladium, like its group neighbor platinum, forms four coordinate Pd(II) and six-coordinate Pd(IV) complexes. Write
modern formulas for the complexes with these compositions:
(a) PdK(NH₃)Cl₃ (b) PdCl₂(NH₃)₂
(c) PdK₂Cl₆
(d) Pd(NH₃)₄Cl₄

Short Answer

Expert verified

The modern formulas for the complexes are

a) $K [Pd ({NH}_{3}) {Cl}_{3}]$

b) $[Pd {({NH}_{3})}_{2} {Cl}_{2}]$

c) $K_{2} [{PdCl}_{6}]$

d) $[Pd {({NH}_{3})}_{4} {Cl}_{2}] {Cl}_{2}$

Step by step solution

Following rules will be kept in mind before writing the formula

Write cation before the anion
charges of the cations and anions are balanced by each other
Write neutral ligands before anionic ligands (in alphabetical order), and the formula of the whole ion is placed in brackets
Write counter ions outside the brackets

The final formulas are as follows

The modern formulas for the complexes are

a) $PdK ({NH}_{3}) {Cl}_{3} - K [Pd ({NH}_{3}) {Cl}_{3}]$

b) ${PdCl}_{2} {({NH}_{3})}_{2} - [Pd {({NH}_{3})}_{2} {Cl}_{2}]$

c) ${PdK}_{2} {Cl}_{6} - K_{2} [{PdCl}_{6}]$

d) $Pd {({NH}_{3})}_{4} {Cl}_{4} - [Pd {({NH}_{3})}_{4} {Cl}_{2}] {Cl}_{2}$
