Chelate ligands give more complexes than monodentate ligands. The stable complex formation with chelate ligand is driven by entropy change.
Consider the equilibrium reaction for a M2+ metal ion.
[M(H2O)6] 2+ + 6NH3 ---------> [M(NH3)6] 2+ + 6H2O
[M(H2O)6] 2+ + 3en ---------> [M(en)3] 2+ + 6H2O [ethylenediamine (en)]
In first reaction, there is no change in number of molecule before and after reaction. So the ΔS = 0.
In the next reaction, ΔS = +Ve (4 reactant molecule gives 7 product molecules).
In both complex total number of binding site and the bond strength of M-N is same. So the change in enthalpy for both complex is almost the same.
The reaction free energy, ΔG = ΔH – TΔS = -RTlnK
At a constant temperature, a chelating ligand will give the more +Ve value of ΔS. Which favors the -Ve ΔG value. So the stable complex formation occurs spontaneously.
Macrocyclic ligands give more stable complexes than chelate ligands. An n-dented macrocyclic (chelating) ligand mainly forms a more stable complex compared to an n-dented linear chelating ligand. This is known as the macrocyclic effect. This effect comes from a very favorable entropy change (∆S) including a favorable enthalpy (∆H) change. Due to this macrocyclic ligands give more stable complex.
Stability of metal complex with different ligand: Macrocyclic > Chelate > Monodentate

1. What is a structure based explanation for why acetamide is more stable than acetone. I'm pretty sure it has to do with resonance. 2. also for question F im fairly sure it has to do with resonance again but I not sure exactly why. could someone answer and explain? F.
