A salt is formed by the neutralization of an acid by

a base. There are different types of salts. They are:
1) Simple salt: KOH + HCl → KCl + H2O
2) Molecular (or) addition compounds:
a) Double salts are molecular compounds which are formed by the evaporation of solution containing two (or) more salts in stoichiometric proportions. Hence the molecular compounds which dissociate in solution into its constituent ions are known as double salt. Double salts retain their properties only in solid state. They are also called as lattice compounds. Example Mohr’s salt:
b) Coordination (or complex) compounds is ‘a compound formed from a Lewis acid and a Lewis base’. The molecular compounds, do not dissociate into its constituent ions in solution are called coordination compounds.

One of the important aspects of any chemical research is the

preparation of new compounds. This process is called synthesis. In this lecture you will investigate a special kind of compound called a coordination compound.
Transition metals readily react with halogens to form binary compounds of various colors, for example: green-black ferric chloride (FeCl3), deep blue cobalt chloride (CoCl2), and golden yellow nickel bromide (NiBr2).
These compounds dissolve in water to give brightly colored solutions – but of changed colors: yellow solutions (containing Fe3+ ions), red solutions (Co2+ ions), and green solutions (Ni2+ ions).
By evaporating the solutions, crystals of these new compounds can be obtained: yellow FeCl3 · 6H2O, red CoCl2 · 6H2O, and green NiBr2 · 6H2O.
Addition of ammonia to a green nickel solution changes its color to violet, and the compound NiBr 2 · 6NH3 can be crystallized. In all cases these beautiful color changes occur because a new chemical species has formed, and there have been changes in the bonding of the nonmetallic substance to the metal ion.

Coordination complexes (a complex ion) is comprised of two important parts:


the central atom
and its surrounding ligands.

Complexes or coordination compounds are molecules that posess a metal center that is bound to ligands (atoms, ions, or polar molecules that donate electrons to the metal).

THE CENTRAL ATOM
It is can be:
any metallic ion (usually a

transition d- or f-metal);
nonmetals (B, Si);
p-element (Al).
The overall it charge can be positive, negative, or neutral.
Thus, in the complex ion an acceptor accepts a pair of electrons from the donor atoms. The acceptor is usually a metal / metal ion to which one (or) more of neutral molecules (or) anions are attached. The acceptor metal cation is referred to as central metal cation. Hence, central metal cation in a complex serves as a lewis acid.

The modern theory of coordination chemistry is based largely on the

work of Alfred Werner (1866–1919; Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1913).

Werner proposed putting all molecules and ions within the sphere in brackets and those “free” anions (that dissociate from the complex ion when dissolved in water) outside the brackets.

STRUCTURE OF COMPLEXES: Central Metal Ion: It is an acceptor atom

STRUCTURE OF COMPLEXES:
Central Metal Ion: It is an acceptor atom containing

vacant orbitals to which a fixed number of ligands are attached via co-ordinate bonds in definite geometrical arrangement.
The molecules or ions coordinating to the metal are the ligands. They are usually anions or polar molecules.

LIGANDS
It is an ion or polar molecule capable of donating a

pair of electrons to the central atom via a donor atom.
Types of ligands:
Unidentate ligands: Ligands with only one donor atom, e.g. NH3, Cl-, F- etc.
Bidentate ligands: Ligands with two donor atoms, e.g. ethylenediamine, C2O42-(oxalate ion) etc. 
Tridentate ligands: Ligands which have three donor atoms per ligand, e.g. (dien) diethyl triamine.
Hexadentate ligands: Ligands which have six donor atoms per ligand, e.g. EDTA. 
Chelating Ligands: Multidentate ligand simultaneously co-ordinating to a metal ion through more than one site is called chelating ligand. These ligands produce a ring like structure called chelate. Chelation increases the stability of complex. This effect is called chelation effect.

Coordination Number:
It is the total number of ligands attached to

the central metal atom through coordinate bonds or the number of atoms of a ligand attached to the same central atom, e.g. hexadentate ligand should be counted as forming six co-ordinate bonds.

It is the charge which the central atom appears

to have if all the ligands are removed along with the electron pairs that are shared with the central atom.

Or, knowing the oxidation number on the metal and the charges

on the ligands, one can calculate the charge on the complex ion.

Knowing the charge on a complex ion and the charge on each ligand, one can determine the oxidation number for the central metal ion.

The names of anionic ligands end in “o”;

the endings of the names of neutral ligands are not changed.
Prefixes tell the number of a type of ligand in the complex. If the name of the ligand itself has such a prefix, alternatives like bis-, tris-, etc., are used.

Nature of chemical bonding in complex compounds Structure physico-chemical and biological

Nature of chemical bonding in complex compounds
Structure physico-chemical and biological properties

of complex compounds depend on the nature of chemical bonds in them. Currently, the nature of chemical bonds in complex compounds such theories explain:
1) the method of valence bonds ;
2) the crystal field theory ;
3) the method of molecular orbitals .
A coordination compound consists of a central metal ion which is chemically bonded to one or more atoms or groups of atoms by coordinate covalent bonds. The metal ion contains one or more empty orbitals which can receive pair(s) of electrons and the atom or group of atoms bonded to the metal ion (ligands) contain one or more pairs of electrons which can be donated to the metal ion. When a covalent bond (a bond formed by sharing of one or more pairs of electrons) contains a pair of electrons which comes from only one atom in the bond it is called a coordinate covalent bond.

PROPERTIES OF COMPLEX COMPOUNDS
1) Dissociation of complex compounds.
Complex compounds are strong

electrolytes. In aqueous solution, they readily dissociate to a complex ion and the outer sphere. This is called the primary dissociation.
[Ag(NH3)2] Cl ↔ [Ag(NH3)2]+ + Cl –
The formed complex ion may also dissociate, albeit weaker. This secondary dissociation, which is stepwise:
[Ag(NH3)2]+ ↔ Ag+ + 2NH3

2) Stability of complex compounds.
This formation constant (Kf), describes the

formation of a complex ion from its central ion and attached ligands. This constant may be called a stability constant or association constant; the units depend on the specific reaction it is describing.
At its most basic level, Kf can be explained as the following, where M is a metal ion, L is a ligand, and x and y are coefficients:

The larger the Kf  value of a complex ion, the more stable it is.
