Compared to the first coordination sphere, the second coordination sphere has a less direct influence on the reactivity and chemical properties of the metal complex. Nonetheless the second coordination sphere is relevant to understanding reactions of the metal complex, including the mechanisms of ligand exchange and catalysis.
The coordination geometry of thallium(I) is not experimentally known, but it is likely to be hemidirected with a large gap in the coordination sphere. [27] Silicon is likewise not a metal, and silicon(IV) is a strong enough acid to deprotonate bound OH −. Thus various forms of hydrated silica (silicic acid) form. [43]
In chemistry, metal aquo complexes are coordination compounds containing metal ions with only water as a ligand. These complexes are the predominant species in aqueous solutions of many metal salts, such as metal nitrates, sulfates, and perchlorates. They have the general stoichiometry [M(H 2 O) n] z+.
Prominent reactions of metal hydroxides are their acid-base behavior. Protonation of metal hydroxides gives aquo complexes: L n M−OH + H + ⇌ L n M−OH + 2 where L n is the ligand complement on the metal M. Thus, aquo ligand is a weak acid, of comparable strength to acetic acid (pK a of about 4.8). [6]
Werner's model accounted for the inner sphere ligands being less reactive. [5] In [Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl]Cl 2 , two chloride ions are outer sphere (counter ions) and one is bound to the Co(III) center: reaction with excess silver nitrate would immediately precipitate the two chloride counter ions, but the bound chloride ion would not be precipitated.
In the absence of the metal ion, the same organic reactants produce different products. The term is mainly used in coordination chemistry. The template effects emphasizes the pre-organization provided by the coordination sphere, although the coordination modifies the electronic properties (acidity, electrophilicity, etc.) of ligands.

Shilov cycle The overall charge is omitted from the complexes since the exact coordination sphere of the active species is unknown.. The Shilov system is a classic example of catalytic C-H bond activation and oxidation which preferentially activates stronger C-H bonds over weaker C-H bonds for an overall partial oxidation.
The Creutz–Taube ion. The Creutz–Taube ion is the metal complex with the formula {[Ru(NH 3) 5] 2 (C 4 H 4 N 2)} 5+.This cationic species has been heavily studied in an effort to understand the intimate details of inner sphere electron transfer, that is, how electrons move from one metal complex to another.
