Complexes are compounds formed from combination of metal ions with ligands (complexing agents). A metal is an electron deficient species while a ligand is an electron rich, and thus, electron donating species. A metal will thus accept electrons from a ligand where coordination bonds are formed. Electrons forming coordination bonds come solely from ligands.

Page 3: 8 complexo jntu pharmacy

A ligand is called a monodentate if it donates a single pair of electrons (like :NH3) while a bidentate ligand (like ethylenediamine, :NH2CH2CH2H2N:) donates two pairs of electrons. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a hexadentate ligand. The ligand can be as simple as ammonia which forms a complex with Cu2+, for example, giving the complex Cu(NH3)4

2+. When the ligand is a large organic molecule having two or more of the complexing groups, like EDTA, the ligand is called a chelating agent and the formed complex, in this case, is called a chelate.

The tendency of complex formation is controlled by the formation constant of the reaction between

the metal ion (Lewis acid) and the ligand (Lewis base). As the formation constant increases, the

stability of the complex increases.

Let us look at the complexation reaction of Ag+ with NH3:

Ag+ + NH3 Ag(NH3)+ kf1 = [Ag(NH3)+]/[Ag+][NH3]Ag(NH3)+ + NH3 Ag(NH3)2

+ kf2 = [Ag(NH3)2+]/[Ag(NH3)+][NH3]

Page 5: 8 complexo jntu pharmacy

5

Kf1 x kf2 = [Ag(NH3)2+]/[Ag+][NH3]2

Now look at the overall reaction:Ag+ + 2 NH3 Ag(NH3)2

+

kf = [Ag(NH3)2+]/[Ag+][NH3]2

It is clear fro inspection of the values of the kf that:

Kf = kf1 x kf2

For a multistep complexation reaction we will always have the formation constant of the overall reaction equals the product of all step wise formation constants

Page 6: 8 complexo jntu pharmacy

The formation constant is also called the stability constant and if the equilibrium is written as a dissociation the equilibrium

constant in this case is called the instability constant.

Ag(NH3)2+ Ag+ + 2 NH3

kinst = [Ag+][NH3]2/[Ag(NH3)2+]

Therefore, we have:Kinst = 1/kf

ExampleA divalent metal ion reacts with a ligand to form a 1:1 complex. Find the concentration of the metal ion in a solution prepared by mixing equal volumes of 0.20 M

M2+ and 0.20 M ligand (L). kf = 1.0x108.

SolutionThe formation constant is very high and essentially the

metal ions will almost quantitatively react with the ligand.

The concentration of metal ions and ligand will be half that given as mixing of equal volumes of the ligand

and metal ion will make their concentrations half the original concentrations since the volume was doubled.

[M2+] = 0.10 M, [L] = 0.10 MM2+ + L ML2+

Kf = ( 0.10 –x )/x2

Assume 0.10>>x since kf is very large1.0x108 = 0.10/x2, x = 3.2x10-5

Relative error = (3.2x10-5/0.10) x 100 = 3.2x10-2 %The assumption is valid.

[M2+] = 3.2x10-5 M

ExampleSilver ion forms a stable 1:1 complex with trien. Calculate the

silver ion concentration at equilibrium when 25 mL of 0.010 M silver nitrate is added to 50 mL of 0.015 M trien. Kf =

5.0x107

SolutionAg+ + trien Ag(trien)+

mmol Ag+ added = 25x0.01 = 0.25mmol trien added = 50x0.015 = 0.75

The reaction occurs in a 1:1 ratiommol trien excess = 0.75 – 0.25 = 0.50

[Trien] = 0.5/75 M[Ag(trien)+] = 0.25/75 M

Page 10: 8 complexo jntu pharmacy

10

Kf = ( 0.25/75 – x )/(x * 0.50/75 + x)

Assume 0.25/75>>x since kf is very large

5.0x107 = (0.25/75)/(x * 0.50/75)x = 1.0x10-8

Relative error = (1.0x10-8/(0.25/75)) x 100 = 3.0x10-4 %The assumption is valid.

[Ag+] = 1.0x10-8 M

The Chelon Effect

We have seen earlier that large multidentate ligands can form complexes with metal

ions. These complexes are called chelates. The question is which is more

stable a chelate formed from a chelating agent with four chelating groups or a

complex formed from the same metal with four moles of ligand having the same

donating group?

Page 12: 8 complexo jntu pharmacy

12

This can be simply answered by looking at the thermodynamics of the process. We know from simple thermodynamics that spontaneous processes are favored if an increase in entropy results. Now look at the dissociation of the chelate and the complex mentioned above, dissociation of the chelate will give two molecules while dissociation of the complex will give five molecules. Therefore, dissociation of the complex results in more disorder and thus more entropy. The dissociation of the complex is thus more favored and therefore the chelate is more stable as its dissociation is not favored.

EDTA Titrations

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) is the most frequently used chelate in

complexometric titrations. Usually, the disodium salt is used due to its good solubility. EDTA is

used for titrations of divalent and polyvalent metal ions. The stoichiometry of EDTA reactions

with metal ions is usually 1:1. Therefore, calculations involved are simple and

straightforward. Since EDTA is a polydentate ligand, it is a good chelating agent and its

chelates with metal ions have good stability.

EDTA EquilibriaEDTA can be regarded as H4Y where in solution we

will have, in addition to H4Y, the following species: H3Y-, H2Y2-, HY3-, and Y4-. The amount of each species depends on the pH of the solution where:

4 = [Y4-]/CT where:

CT = [H4Y] + [H3Y-] + [H2Y2-] + [HY3-] + [Y4-]

4 = ka1ka2ka3ka4/([H+]4 + ka1 [H+]3 + ka1ka2[H+]2 + ka1ka2ka3[H+] + ka1ka2ka3ka4)

The species Y4- is the ligand species in EDTA titrations and thus should be looked at carefully.

The Formation ConstantReaction of EDTA with a metal ion to form a chelate is

a simple reaction. For example, EDTA reacts with Ca2+ ions to form a Ca-EDTA chelate forming the basis for estimation of water hardness. The reaction can be represented by the following equation:

Ca2+ + Y4- = CaY2- kf = 5.0x1010

Kf = [CaY2-]/[Ca2+][Y4-] The formation constant is very high and the reaction

between Ca2+ and Y4- can be considered quantitative. Therefore, if equivalent amounts of Ca2+ and Y4- were mixed together, an equivalent amount of CaY2- will be formed.

Page 16: 8 complexo jntu pharmacy

16

The question now is how to calculate the amount of Ca2+ at equilibrium?

CaY2- Ca2+ + Y4- However, [Ca2+] # [Y4-] at this point since the amount of Y4-

is pH dependent and Y4- will disproportionate to form all the following species, depending on the pHCT = [H4Y] + [H3Y-] + [H2Y2-] + [HY3-] + [Y4-]

Where, CT is the sum of all species derived from Y4- which is equal to [Ca2+].

Therefore, the [Y4-] at equilibrium will be less than the [Ca2+] and in fact it will only be a fraction of CT where:

4 = [Y4-]/CT

4 = ka1ka2ka3ka4/([H+]4 + ka1 [H+]3 + ka1ka2[H+]2 + ka1ka2ka3[H+] + ka1ka2ka3ka4)

The Conditional Formation ConstantWe have seen that for the reaction

Ca2+ + Y4- CaY2- kf = 5.0x1010

We can write the formation constant expressionKf = [CaY2-]/[Ca2+][Y4-]

However, we do not know the amount of Y4- at equilibrium but we can say that since 4 = [Y4-]/CTthen we have:

[Y4-] = 4CT

Substitution in the formation constant expression we get:Kf = [CaY2-]/[Ca2+]4CT or at a given pH we can write

Kf' = [CaY2-]/[Ca2+]CT

Where Kf' is called the conditional formation constant. It is

conditional since it is now dependent on pH.

Titration CurvesIn most cases, a titration is performed by addition of the

titrant (EDTA) to the metal ion solution adjusted to appropriate pH and in presence of a suitable indicator.

The break in the titration curve is dependent on:

1. The value of the formation constant.2. The concentrations of EDTA and metal ion.

3. The pH of the solutionAs for acid-base titrations, the break in the titration curve

increases as kf increases and as the concentration of reactants is increased. The pH effect on the break of the

titration curve is such that sharper breaks are obtained at higher pH values.
