  1. Transition Metals Occupy the d-block of periodic table Have d-electrons in valence shell Some characteristics of Transition Metals and their compounds • Exhibit more than one oxidation state • Many of their compounds are colored • They exhibit interesting magnetic properties. • They form an extensive series of compounds known as metal complexes or coordination compounds.

  2. Transition Metals Exhibit more than one oxidation state e.g., Reduction of V5+ by metallic Zn VO2(H2O)4+yellow-orange VO(H2O)52+blue V(H2O)63+green V(H2O)62+violet Many of their compounds are colored

  3. ELECTRON CONFIGURATIONS 3d elements: Sc  Zn Ar 3s23p6Sc [Ar]3d14s2 K [Ar]4s1Ti [Ar]3d24s2 Ca [Ar]4s2 . . . . . . Zn [Ar]3d104s2 Note: 4s is filled before 3d, but when oxidized, 4s electrons are lost before 3d. Ti [Ar]3d24s2 Ti2+ [Ar]3d24s0 Ti3+ [Ar]3d14s0 Ti4+ [Ar]3d04s0 Ti5+ does not exist!

  4. Transition Metals TRANSITION METALS: ScMn Oxidation States: Highest oxidation states of Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn = number of valence (4s + 3d) electrons. Sc [Ar]3d14s2 Sc3+ [Ar] maximum Mn [Ar]3d54s2 Mn7+[Ar] maximum Trend from Sc  Mn: The max. oxidation state becomes increasingly unstable. Sc3+, Ti4+ are stable (maximum oxidation states). Sc2O3 Stable oxide. Mn7+ Exists but is easily reduced. MnO4- Strong oxidizing agent.

  5. Magnetic Properties Diamagnetic: unaffected by a magnetic field no unpaired electrons Paramagnetic: influenced by a magnetic field unpaired electrons Transition metals and their compounds are often paramagnetic Have unpaired d-electrons Eg. Ti2+ Mn2+

  6. TRANSITION METAL IONS Transition metal ions are Lewis acids they accept electron pairs. Ligands are Lewis bases molecules or ions which donate electron pairs. Ligands bonded to metal ions metal complexes or coordination compounds. Coordination number: number of electron donor atoms attached to the metal. Chelates are ligands possessing two or more donor atoms.

  7. COORDINATION COMPOUNDS • Metals-Lewis acids • Ligands -Lewis bases. Ligand molecules have lone pair electrons. • Anions - F, Cl, Br, CN, SCN, NO2,etc. • Neutral ligands: NH3, H2O, CO • mono-dentate -(single claw to hold onto metal d orbital) Ex. :NH3, H-:O:-H , CH3-:O:-H • Bi-dentate-(has 2 claws to hold onto metal d orbitals). Has 2 or more functional groups on ligands that have lone pairs Example :NH2-CH2-CH2-H2N: (= en or ethylenediammine)

  8. COORDINATION COMPOUNDS Coordination # = 4 Tetrahedral, e.g. [Zn(NH3)4]2+ Square Planar, e.g. [Ni(CN)4]2 Square Planar, e.g. [PtCl3(C2H4)]

  9. COORDINATION COMPOUNDS Coordination # = 6 Octahedral, e.g. [CoF6]3- Octahedral, e.g. [Co(en)3]3+

  10. IMPORTANT CHELATING LIGANDS Porphine EDTA

[Ni(H2O)6]2+ + 6NH3 [Ni(NH3)6]2+ + 6H2O Kf = 4x108 [Ni(H2O)6]2+ + 3en  [Ni(en)3]2+ + 6H2O Kf = 2x1018 CHELATE EFFECT IS AN ENTROPY EFFECT Cd2+ + 4CH3NH2 [Cd(CH3NH2)4]2+ G° = 37.2kJ H° = 57.3kJ S° = 67.3J/K Cd2+ + 2en [Cd(en)2]2+ G° = 60.7kJ H° = 56.5kJ S° = +14.1J/K

  12. PROPERTIES OF TRANSITION METALS • Transition Metal Complexes have different properties – • color(all except Zn or Sc3+ white compounds) • solubility-depends on complex reduction potential • – lower than free ions • Ag+(aq) + e Ag(s) E°1/2= +0.80V • [Ag(CN)2](aq) + eAg(s)+ 2CN(aq) • E°1/2 = 0.31V

  19. USES OF TRANSITION METALS Ti Lighter and stronger than steel. Ti and its alloys are used in jet engines, planes, and in special high temp applications, e.g. in the reentry shield on the Apollo capsules. TiO2 is a white pigment in all white paints. V Vanadium steel (Fe/V alloy) is the toughest steel known. It is used in car springs. V2O5 is a catalyst used in sulfuric acid production. Cr Stainless Steel = 73% Fe,18% Cr, 8% Ni, 1% C Chromium is electroplated to make shiny metal parts. Mn Mn steel (Fe/Mn alloy) is very tough and can withstand shock and abrasion – used in bulldozer blades and armor plates on warships.
