MIDTERM 01 - Complexation Titrations Flashcards
These are a class of reactions that deal with complex formation
Complexation reaction
Resulting complex when a ligand contains two or more molecules/groups that can donate electrons
Cheleate
Electron donor
Ligand
Electron acceptor
Metal ion
Most commonly used analytical reagent for complexation reaction
Na2EDTA
When a ligand binds to a metal ion through only one atom
Monodentate
When a ligand binds to a metal through two atoms
Bidendate
When a ligand binds to a metal ion through four atoms
Tetradentate
When a ligand binds to a metal ion through six atoms
Hexadentate
When a ligand binds to a metal ion through eight atoms
Octadentate
When a ligand binds to a metal ion through more than one ligand atom
Multidentate/chelating ligand
Ammonia
Monodentate
Water
Monodentate
Halides
Monodentate
Glycine
Bidentate
Ethylenediamine
Bidentate
Nitriloacetic acid (NTA)
Tetradentate
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)
Hexadentate
Egtazic acid
Hexadentate
Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)
Octadentate
Equilibrium constant for the reaction of a metal with a ligand
Function constant/stability constant
Ability of ligands to form more stable metal complexes
Chelate effect
Association constant of a chemical reaction
pKn value/Kn
Used in EDTA titrations; these are organic compounds which form colored complex ions with metal ion
Metallochromic indicators
