EAN or Effective Atomic Number can be calculated as
EAN = Z(atomic number of the metal) - number of electrons lost in the iron formation + number of electrons gained from the donor atoms of the ligands.
Complex | Oxidation state of metal ion | Atomic no. | Coordination no. | EAN |
[Pt(NH3)6]4+ |
+4 | 78 | 6 | (78 - 4) + (6 × 2) = 86 (Rn) |
[Fe(CN)6]4- |
+2 | 26 | 6 | (26 - 2) + (6 × 2) = 36 (Kr) |
[Zn(NH3)4]2+ |
+2 | 30 | 4 | (30 - 2) + (4 × 2) = 36 (Kr) |
[Cu(NH3)4]2+ |
+ 2 | 29 | 4 | (29 - 2) + (4 × 2) = 35 (Br) |
