Q5.5(i):
Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities:
\([Co(H_{2}O)(CN)(en)_{2}]^{2+}\)
Solution :
Step 1: Identification of Coordination Entity Components
To determine the oxidation state of the central metal atom in the coordination entity $[Co(H_{2}O)(CN)(en)_{2}]^{2+}$, we must first identify the charge contributions of each ligand coordinated to the cobalt (Co) atom.
| Ligand / Species | Chemical Formula | Charge contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Central Metal | $Co$ | $x$ (unknown) |
| Aqua (Water) | $H_{2}O$ | $0$ (Neutral molecule) |
| Cyano | $CN^{-}$ | $-1$ (Anionic ligand) |
| Ethylenediamine | $en$ (or $NH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}NH_{2}$) | $0$ (Neutral bidentate ligand) |
Step 2: Mathematical Formulation of Oxidation State
The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a coordination entity must equal the net charge residing on the complex ion [Per the Rules of Nomenclature for Coordination Compounds].
The equation is structured as follows:
$(Charge\ of\ Co) + (Charge\ of\ H_{2}O) + (Charge\ of\ CN) + 2 \times (Charge\ of\ en) = \text{Net Charge of Entity}$
Step 3: Algebraic Substitution and Calculation
Substituting the identified values into the equation:
$x + 0 + (-1) + 2(0) = +2$
Solving for $x$:
$x - 1 = 2$
$x = 2 + 1$
$x = 3$
Step 4: Geometric Contextualization (Visualization)
The cobalt atom exists in a coordination environment where six donor atoms surround the metal center (octahedral geometry). The following diagram represents the coordination sphere conceptually.
Final Solution: The oxidation number of the metal Cobalt ($Co$) in $[Co(H_{2}O)(CN)(en)_{2}]^{2+}$ is $+3$.
