Since a ligand is an electron rich species,, therefore, it is also called a Lewi: Ora nucleophile. A metal cation is an electron deficient species, and it can accept a pair of electrons, therefore, a metal cation behaves as a Lewis acid or an electrophile., When a group of ligands donates its pairs of electrons (one pair by one donor atom of a ligand) to the, metal cation or atom coordinate bonds are formed ard the product so formed is called a coordination, compound. Thus, a compound in which a metal cation or atom is attached to a group of ligands by, coordinate bonds is called a coordination compound or complex compound. The coordination, , 2, compounds may either be neutral molecules or ionic compounds. The compounds like [Pt(NH3 )»Cl. ],, , 3, [Co(NH3 )3 Cl3 Jare neutral coordination compounds. In ionic coordination compounds either the cation, or anion or both may be complex ions. For example, [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 contains (Co(NH3)¢ ]°* -as, complex cation, Ky [Fe(CN)¢] contains [Fe(CN)¢]*" as complex anion and (Pt (NH3 4 [PtCl4], contains (PUNE) 4]?* and [PtClaP- as complex ions i.e, complex cation and complex anion, respectively. The coordination compourids retain their identity, more or less even in solution, though, partial dissociation may ocr These compounds a not ge the tests of ali their Constituent ions in, aqueous Solution re some Constituent i itities i jution{ For, example, {Co(NH3 )¢ Cl; is a complex compound and it does not give the test of all the constituent ions,, Co3* and Cl” instead it gives theCo™” as [Co(NH3 )¢]** complex ion and Cl” ions., , A complex ion is an ion in which a metal cation is attached to ligands by coordinate bonds., Coordination chemistry is the branch of i inorganic chemistry which concerns the study of, coordination compounds., , In the structural formula of a coordination compound, the central metal cation or atom and the, ligands attached to it are written in a square bracket, [ ] which is called a coordination sphere. The cation, , or anion out side the courineson suite is called the ionization sphere or counter ion., The atom in a ligand that is directly attached to the metal cation or atom is called the donor atom and, , the number of donor atoms attached to metal cation or atom is called the coordination number. For, example, coordination number of Ag* in Ag (NH )2]°* is 2, that of Cu2* in{Cu(NHg }4]7* is 4 and, that of Co** in {Co(NH3)6]** is 6., , , , we, ¥* ‘x
