Question
The compound Cr(en)2(OH)2Cl has been prepared in several isomeric forms:
-
Isomer A is optically inactive and undergoes no reaction with either AgNO3 or en.
-
Isomer B is optically inactive and reacts with AgNO3 to form a white precipitate, but does not react with en.
-
Isomer C is optically active and reacts both with en and AgNO3.
Assuming the coordination number of chromium is 6, identify each of the three isomers by name and draw each of the structures.
Hint: For the en ligand think about what angle the donor atoms form with the metal ion.

- A coordination compound has the following composition (by mass %): 23.53% Co; 42.47% Cl, and 34.00% NH3. When 4.91 g of the compound is dissolved in 75.0 mL of deionized water, and the solution is reacted with an excess of AGNO; solution, it yields 5.60 g of AgCl precipitate. (a) Determine the empirical formula of the compound and write in the form of Co(NH;),Cl, (where x and 24. y are simple integers), and calculate its molar mass. (Assume the compound contains only one Co atom). (b) Deduce the number of chloride (Cl) as counter ions and as ligand, respectively. (c) Write the Werner's formula of the compound and give its systematic name. (Answers: (a) Co(NH3);C13; molar mass = 250.43 g/mol; (b) 2 Cl are counter ions and one is ligand; (c) [Co(NH3);CI]Cl2 = pentaammonechlorocobalt(III) chloride)arrow_forwardWhich of the following can exhibit geometric isomersim?

Please please Draw all the isomers. [FeCl(OH2)5]2+, [IrCl3(PEt3)3], [Ru(bpy)3]2+, [CoCl2(en)(NH3)2]+, [W(CO)4(py)2].arrow_forwardTransition metal complexes are highly likely to be colored because of a) the size of the energy gap within the d orbitals and the number of electrons. In ruby, the red color of ruby is attributed to a small amount of Cr³* substituting into Al2O3 which is made up of shared AIO, octahedra. Provide a hypothesis for the origin of the red color observed in ruby. Red pigments tend to be rare. If you had to design a new material that b) had an approximate bandgap that would absorb green, what ideas do you need to employ to find a new semiconductor that does not contain Cd, Hg or Pb as one of the components (see last lecture for ideas).arrow_forward
