A generalized example of ligand association. Associative substitution closely resembles the S N 2 mechanism in organic chemistry. A typically smaller ligand can attach to an unsaturated complex followed by loss of another ligand. Typically, the rate of the substitution is first order in entering ligand L and the unsaturated complex. [19]
In almost all complexes, phen serves as a bidentate ligand, binding metal centers with the two nitrogen atoms. Examples include PtCl 2 (phen) and [Fe(phen) 3 ] 2+ . Homoleptic complexes
In this example, the cyanide ligands are "innocent", i.e., they have a charge of −1 each, −5 total. To balance the fragment's overall charge, the charge on {CrNO} is thus +2 (−3 = −5 + 2). Using the neutral electron counting scheme, Cr has 6 d electrons and NO· has one electron for a total of 7. Two electrons are subtracted to take ...
This describes metal carbonyl fragments of M(CO) n as parts of octahedral building blocks in analogy to the tetrahedral CH 3 –, CH 2 – or CH– fragments in organic chemistry. In example dimanganese decacarbonyl is formed in terms of the isolobal analogy of two d 7 Mn(CO) 5 fragments, that are isolobal to the methyl radical CH • 3.
For the purpose of electron-counting, C-bonded acyl ligands count as 1-electron ligands, akin to pseudohalides. η 2-Acyl ligands count as 3-electron "L-X" ligands. bridging acyl ligands are also well known, where the carbon bonds to one metal and the oxygen bonds to a second metal. One example is the bis(μ-acetyl) complex [(CO) 3 Fe(C(O)CH 3 ...

Compounds that obey the 18-electron rule are typically "exchange inert". Examples include [Co(NH 3) 6]Cl 3, Mo(CO) 6, and [Fe(CN) 6] 4−. In such cases, in general ligand exchange occurs via dissociative substitution mechanisms, wherein the rate of reaction is determined by the rate of dissociation of a ligand. On the other hand, 18-electron ...
The number of coordination bonds (coordination number) can vary from two in K[Ag(CN) 2] as high as 20 in Th(η 5-C 5 H 5) 4. [ 2 ] One of the most common coordination geometries is octahedral , where six ligands are coordinated to the metal in a symmetrical distribution, leading to the formation of an octahedron if lines were drawn between the ...
