The earliest recorded Complex It was used as pigment in the early 18th century prussian blue , the chemical formula is KFe [Fe (CN) 6]. CoCl3 · 6 discovered in 1798 NH3 CoCl3 and NH3 are both stable compounds. After they are combined into new compounds, their properties are different from those of component compounds. This discovery initiated the study of coordination chemistry.
More cobalt ammonia complexes and other complexes were discovered in the 19th century. 1893 Switzerland Chemist A. Werner first proposed the correct chemical formula and Coordination theory He introduced the concept of side valence in complexes and proposed that elements have side valence in addition to the main valence. For example, in a series of platinum (Ⅳ) complexes, the main valence of platinum is+4 and the side valence is+6, which can explain the existence and dissociation (Table 1). The number of ions generated is determined by the solution conductivity and Free chlorine Determination of ions by analysis. because Werner In 1913 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Valence bond theory
Mainly by L C. Pauling developed it. This theory believes that Complex Is on Lewis base ligand )And Lewis acid (metal or metal ion) acid-base theory ), between ligand and metal Coordination bond Generation (not all coordination keys). Ligands Electron pair Go to Metal Hybridization Atomic orbital On.
Crystal field theory
It is considered that metal - ligand The key is created by Point charge The reaction between the ligands is generated, and the ligands are regarded as point charges or dipole , thus affecting d occupied by metal ions Orbital energy And used to describe its bonding structure.
Molecular orbital theory
Think that electrons surround the whole Complex Systematic molecular orbital Sports, it integrates Valence bond and Crystal field theory , is currently the most widely used theory.

With metal ions and ligand of because Complex The generation of positive electricity Metal ions and ligands of anion or Dipolar molecule Metallic ion Ionic potential cation The larger the ratio of charge to its radius, the more stable the complexes with the same ligand will be. Stability of complexes It is also associated with the ligand anion Polarizability of Within a certain limit, the greater the polarizability of anions, the easier the ligands become electrons Donor For example, for the fourth cycle from Mn reach Zn The stability of its complex is based on F< OS >P order changes. For precious metals with d or d structure, the stability of their complexes changes in the order of P>S ≥ N>O>F ≥ Cl<Br<I.
The stability of the complex is also affected Chelation That is, ligands with more than two teeth are connected with metal ions in more than one position to form a ring. Generally, when the degree of chelation increases, Complex The stability of, for example ethylenediamine The stability of the complex is better than Ammonia complex Large.

Press Central atom Classification has single core Complex and Polynuclear complex Press ligand Classification, common ones are hydration Complexes, halogenated complexes Ammonia complex , cyanide complex, metal carbonyl Compounds, etc; According to the type of bonding, there are classical complexes (σ - bonding) and cluster complexes (metal - Metal bond )、 olefin Isounsaturated ligand complexes (π- σ bond And π - π Feedback key ), ferrocene and other sandwich, cave and cage complexes( Delocalization Conjugate coordination), etc; There are inorganic complexes Organometallic compound , Biology inorganic compound Etc. There are overlaps between various classifications.
Hydrated complex
abbreviation hydrate by metal ion And water Molecularly formed Complex Almost all metal ions can form hydrated complexes in aqueous solutions, such as【 Cu ( H2O )4】 And【 Cr (H2O) 6], common coordination number It's 4 and 6. When other ligand When added to the aqueous solution of metal ions, water displacement occurs and other complexes are formed. In these Displacement reaction In general, the coordination number of metal remains unchanged. But this is not always the case, for example, adding CN ions to an aqueous solution containing [Ni (H2O) 6], and finally generating [Ni (CN) 4] and [Ni (CN) 5]; take Cl Ions added to [Fe (H2O) 6] can produce [FeCl4], etc.
Halogenated complex
Metal ions and halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) ion Complex Most metal ions can form halide complexes, such as K2 [PtCl4] and Na3 [AlF6]. Halogenation Stability of complexes There is a wide range of changes. Press Soft and hard acid-base theory The concept of ligand Classification. Metal ions are divided into hard acid and Soft acid Hard acid refers to those metal ions with small volume, high charge and no valence shell electrons that are easy to deform or move, such as Be Mg , Al, Sc, La, Cr, Co, Fe, etc; Soft acid refers to those metal ions with large volume, low charge and valence shell electrons that are easy to deform or move, such as Cu, Ag Au 、Cd、Hg、 Pd And Pt, etc. Ligands can also be classified into non polarizable Hard alkali And polarizable Soft alkali F and Cl in halogen are hard alkali, I is soft alkali, and Br is between them. Hard acid is easy to combine with hard base, and soft acid is easy to combine with soft base.
Halogenation of Hard Acids Complex The stability in aqueous solution increases in the order of I < Br < Cl ≤ F, and the stability of metal halide complexes of soft acids increases in the order of F ≤ Cl < Br < I.

That is, cluster compounds. Containing at least two metals and containing metals- Metal bond Of Complex , such as Fe3 (CO) 12, Co4 (C5H5) 4H4, (W6Cl12) Cl6, etc. The metals that can form cluster compounds are mainly transition metal (See Transitional element ), their formation trend is similar to that of the metal in periodic table Position, oxidation state and ligand Property. Generally speaking, the Elemental formation The ability of cluster complexes is worse than that of the corresponding second and third transition system elements. stay Homogeneous element The low oxidation state is easy to form cluster complexes (see Cluster metal compound )。
Organometallic compound
Or called Organometallic compound For the generation of carbon between organic groups and metals Metal bond Compounds. many Organometallic compound Often with Complex There are two types of such complexes: ① metal and carbon Bonding σ bond of (see covalent bond )Organometallic compounds, including alkyl Metal [such as (CH3) 6Al2], aryl metal (such as C6H5HgCl), ethynyl metal (such as HC 呏 C-Ag) and other compounds. Most of these compounds, except organic ligand In addition, it can also contain other ligands, such as CO, CN, PR3 (R is alkyl), etc.; ② pi bond Organometallic compounds, including olefin Alkyne aromatic hydrocarbon Cyclopentadiene Base and other complexes, such as Chase salt K【PtCl2( C2H4 )】, its structure is as follows. At Pt and CH2 =There are π - σ and π - π bonds between CH2. Later, olefins of silver, copper, palladium, ruthenium and other metal ions were successively produced Complex Another example Ferrocene (C5H5) 2Fe (see Structural a), Metal atoms are sandwiched between two parallel carbon ring systems, called Sandwich compound except Cyclopentadiene Besides the base, there are other unsaturated rings ligand Sandwich compounds such as Diphenylchromium (C6H5)2Cr(b)。 Elements that generate sandwich compounds, mainly Transitional element Group IV to VII elements in and Group VIII elements other than platinum, and Lanthanide and Actinide element (See Bond type of organometallic compounds )。

If it is the former, it can be marked with atom O (represented by symbol O) Tracer For example: [Al (H two O) six 】+6H two O=【Al(H two O) six 】+6H two O
various Hydrated metal ions There is a great difference in the rate of substitution between the coordination water molecules of. for example alkali metal Hydrated ion The substitution reaction rate constant of is 10 eight ~10 nine The hydrated ions of aluminum and gallium are 1-10. The size of the ions and the amount of the electric charge have obvious effects on the reaction rate. The larger the radius, the faster the exchange of ions with the same charge and structure; With the same size of ions, the higher the charge, the slower the exchange. other ligand The reaction rate of the coordination water molecules in the substituted hydrated metal ions seldom depends on the properties of the ligands, but is often consistent with the exchange rate of the water molecules, that is, depends on the properties of the hydrated metal ions.
Electronics transfer reaction
