Description
Summary:The effect of anions on the structure and properties of coordination compounds of transition metals has been discussed. The examples of changes in the composition of the formed complexes by replacement of the anion are given: metal ratio to a neutral ligand, the composition of the inner sphere, the direction of template synthesis. Anions can determine the presence of isomers in complexes with different ligands. Examples of conformational, ionization isomerism, inner sphere bond isomerization are given. The nature of the coordination polyhedron is highly sensitive to the replacement of the anion too. Examples of coordination compounds where the anion change causes a change in coordination capacity of neutral ligands and the strength of their bonds with the metal, coordination number and geometry of the inner sphere, the organization of molecular structures (the structure of the hydrogen bond networks and the degree of polymerization, crystal packing). The anions significantly affect the binding of the solvent molecules, complexes magnetic and luminescent properties, they can change the compound color, the mechanisms of thermolysis. Anions make a very noticeable influence on possible redox processes following the complexation in some cases. Anions in the coordination sphere can change catalytic and biochemical processes as well as the ways of interaction of metal ions with drugs.
