What is meant by the chelate effect? Give an example.
When a ligand attaches to the metal ion in a manner that forms a ring, then the metal- ligand association is found to be more stable. In other words, we can say that complexes containing chelate rings are more stable than complexes without rings. This is known as the chelate effect.
For example:
[NiCl4]2- is paramagnetic while [Ni(CO)4] is diamagnetic though both are tetrahedral. Why?
Explain on the basis of valence bond theory that [Ni(CN)4]2- ion with square planar structure is diamagnetic and the [Ni(CN)4]2- ion with tetrahedral geometry is paramagnetic.
