1. DenticityLet’s use a coordination number 6 to establish ligand denticity.
Monodentate Bidentate Tridentate
Tetradentate Pentadentate Hexadentate
A ligand that can bind at two or more sites is polydentate and is called a chelator.

Say a second ligand can coordinate, now we would have more thana single-step process…

The second ligand binding step:

Let’s consider the metal ligand binding process in a cumulative manner.

M + L M-L
β 1 β 1 [M-L][M] [L]
Now consider both ligands binding to the metal:

2C. Metal ions are never “free” in solutionI. In aqueous solutions, metal ions are water bound:
M M(H2O)xH2O
Some metals interact so strongly with water that they cause hydrolysis
M(H2O) M(OH)- + H+
Metal as Brønsted-Lowry Acid
M(H2O) M(OH)- + H+

2C. Metal ions are never “free” in solution
Metal as Brønsted-Lowry AcidBrønsted-Lowry Acid Relative Acidity: Alkali metal cations- Not acids Alkaline earth- Slight acidity 2+ Transition metals: Weak acidity 3+ Transition metals: Moderate acidity 4+ and higher: Strong acidity, typically oxygenated ions
• Vanadium(V) usually exists as dioxovanadium (VO2+)
Metal ions lower the effective pKw of water and pKa of ligands.

2D. Metal-ligand binding preferencesII. The Chelate EffectWhen coordinating through the same type of atom, a chelating ligand willoutcompete a monodentate ligand for metal binding.
Chelates are favorable when they form five/six membered rings when metalbound
Smaller rings are strained Larger rings result in unfavorable ligand distortion
33
2D. Metal-ligand binding preferencesLet’s consider thermodynamic factors for the stability afforded by chelators.
ΔG⁰ = ΔH ⁰ - TΔS⁰
Enthalpy (ΔH ⁰): Bond breaking/bond forming
Entropy (ΔS⁰): Tendency toward “disorder”

3. Redox Stability
The stability of the oxidation state of a metal ion in solution is highly dependent onthe biochemical conditions and the coordination environment. Both can dictate the“preference” of M-L interactions.
40
3A. DefinitionsOxidation: Loss of one or more electrons
Reduction: Gain of one or more electrons
Oxidation-reduction (Redox) reactions are thermodynamically driven.
ΔG⁰ = - nFE⁰
n = # of electrons involved
F = Faraday’s constant (96,485 C/mol or J/V)
E⁰ = Electromotive force: The potential energy for electron (or charge) movement
If E⁰ is +, ΔG⁰ is - ; Spontaneous reaction
41
3B. Ligand coordination shifts the E⁰ of metal ionsNOTE: Oxidation-reduction (Redox) reactions are written from the reduction perspective.
Consider Fe3+:
Half-reaction- Fe3+(aq) + e- Fe2+(aq) E⁰ = +0.77 V vs Standard Hydrogen Electrode(SHE)
In a reducing environment, ligand-free Fe has an oxidation state of 2+
But we live in an oxidizing environment, Fe3+ dominates
P = 1 atm; T = 25 ⁰C, pH =0
42
3B. Ligand coordination shifts the E⁰ of metal ionsNOTE: Oxidation-reduction (Redox) reactions are written from the reduction perspective.
Consider Fe3+:
Half-reaction- Fe3+(aq) + e- Fe2+(aq) E⁰ = +0.77 V vs (SHE)
+ e- E⁰ = -0.53 V vs (SHE)pH = 7.0
Fe(III) Fe(II)
The ligand stabilized the oxidation state of Fe(III).
