What is the structure and structural characteristic of dichromate kon (Cr2O7)-2?

The whole molecule dichromate ion (Cr2O7)-2 is non planer and polar and oxygen atom of (Cr-O-Cr) oxy-linkage does not involve in delocalization due to maximum repulsion hence two Cr-O bond have equal length and bond order may be/equal to one while other six Cr=O bond have eqaual bond length.


In dichlorine heptaoxide (Cr2O7)-2 , two (CrO4 )-2 group connected with an oxygen atom which is sp3 hybridised (non planer) and bond angle may be expected 109⦁28’ but actually due to the presence of two lone pair on oxygen atom the Cr-O-Cr bond angle deviated from ideal and it may be greater (119⦁) than ideal bond angle.

Compare the splitting energy (∆●) into the following compound and give appropritate reason ?

Given compounds are...
(A) [Co(NH3)6]3+ 
(B) [Rh(NH3)6]3+
(C) [Ir(NH3)6]3+
Solution :
In given compounds number of ligands, types of ligands and oxidation state is same for central atom belongs to same group but different transition series 3d, 4d and 5d respectively. We know that as move top to bottom size of d-orbital(3d--> 4d --> 5d) is increases so ligand approches to d-orbitals more closely so the repulsion
between d-orbital of metal and ligand is high and splitting energy increases.order of splitting energy [Co(NH3)6]3+ < [Rh(NH3)6]3 <[Ir(NH3)6]3+

What are bridging ligands and how to show bridging ligands in naming, explain with suitable example.

(A) If a complex ion has two or more than two metal atoms then it is termed polynuclear. The ligand which connects the two metal ions is called as Bridging ligand or Bridge group.
