What does “SUBSTITUTION” mean? What do you understand by the term LIGAND? Ligand substitution is a reaction in which one ligand in a complex ion is replaced by another ligand. L. O. : define the term “ligand substitution

Ligand Substitution Reactions (Ligand Exchange) • Ligand exchange results in a colour change and sometimes coordination number. • Sometimes the ligand substitution is partial.

PRACTICAL & ACTIVITY TIME: 10 minutes ü Get into pairs ü Take a solution containing the transition metal hexaaqua complex and carry out the following tests: - add excess aqueous ammonia - add concentrated hydrochloric acid ü Make a poster to explain the ligand exchange reactions; you should include the following information: - write the formula of the original ion - write the formula for each of the ions when ligand exchange is complete - describe the colour change in each reaction - write the overall equation for each reaction and name the reactant & product - draw the 3 D shape of each complex ion - identify the factor which is affected by the colour change • Be ready to present L. O. : be able to carry out simple test-tube reactions to identify the colour of transition metal ions in aqueous solution

Ligand Substitution – Different Sized Ligands • If the ligands are different sizes then there is a change in coordination number and shape. [Cu. Cl 4]2 - + 6 H 2 O [Cu(H 2 O)6]2+ + 4 Cl- [Cu(H 2 O)6]2+ + 4 CN- [Cu(CN)4]2+ 6 H 2 O

Lesson Topic : Ligand Substitution Reactions Chelate Effect Learning outcomes You should be able to: ü be able to explain ligand substitutions in terms of complex ion stability ü recognise the existence of bi- and multidentate ligands and understand the chelate effect in terms of entropy and free energy change

Multidentate Ligands – The Chelate Effect • When unidentate ligands are exchanged for multidentate ligands, entropy increases because there are overall more molecules. OR More stable complex ions…Have multidentate ligands [Cr(H 2 O)6]3+ + 3 C 2 O 42 - → [Cr(C 2 O 4)3]3 - + 6 H 2 O 4 particles → 7 particles [Cr(H 2 O)6]3+ + EDTA 4 - → [Cr(EDTA)]- + 6 H 2 O 2 particles → 7 particles • H negligible (similar number and type of bonds broken/formed) • S +ve (big increase in entropy).

CHELATE EFFECT • When we replace ligands with those that form more co-ordinate bonds, the reaction is feasible (driven by increase in entropy) • Reverse reaction is NOT feasible because that direction has a large +ve G. chela (latin) = claw / pincer

CHELATE EFFECT EDTA 4 - is an example of a chelating agent used to prevent poisoning by metal ions (e. g. Pb 2+)
