Cobalt(III) carbonato complexes, like the chiral octahedral cation in this image, have been well studied.

Transition metal carbonate and bicarbonate complexes are coordination compounds containing carbonate (CO₃^2-) and bicarbonate (HCO₃^-) as ligands. The inventory of complexes is large, enhanced by the fact that the carbonate ligand can bind metal ions in a variety of bonding modes.^[1]^[2] They illustrate the fate of low valent complexes when exposed to air.

Bonding modes

Carbonate

Carbonate is a pseudohalide ligand. With a saturated pi-system, it has no pi-acceptor properties. With multiple electronegative elements, it is not strongly basic. The latter is consistent with the pK_a’s of carbonic acid: pK₁ = 6.77 and pK₂ = 9.93.

To a single metal ion, carbonate is observed to bind in both unidentate (κ¹-) and bidentate (κ²-) fashions.^[5] In the covalent bond classification method, κ¹-carbonate is anX ligand and κ²-carbonate is an X₂ ligand. With two metals, the number of bonding modes increases because carbonate often serves as a bridging ligand. It can span metal-metal bonds as in [Ru₂(CO₃)₄Cl₂]^5-, where again it functions as an (X)₂ ligand. More commonly all three oxygen centers bind, as illustrated by [(C₅H₅)₂Ti]₂CO₃. In such cases, carbonate is an LX ligand, providing 3e^- to each metal. More complicated motifs have been characterized by X-ray crystallography including {(VO)₆(μ-OH)₉(CO₃)₄}^5-.

Bicarbonate

The bonding modes of bicarbonate are more limited than those for carbonate, in part because it is less basic and in part because the proton occupies a metal-binding site. Typically bicarbonate is assumed to bind as an unidentate X ligand. Structural studies on such complexes are, however, rare.^[6]

Synthesis

Carbonato complexes are prepared by salt metathesis reactions using alkali metal carbonate salts as precursors. In some cases, bicarbonate intermediates are implicated since carbonate does not exist in appreciable concentrations near neutral pH. The other chief route to metal carbonato complexes involves addition of CO₂ to metal oxides. Such reactions may be catalyzed by water since the carbonation of metal hydroxides is particularly well established. Isotope labeling studies show that these reactions can proceed (and perhaps usually proceed) without scission of the M-OH bond (L = generic ligand):

[L_nM−¹⁷OH]^z + CO₂ → [L_nM−¹⁷OCO₂H]^z

Many esoteric routes have been demonstrated. For example, the deoxygenation of peroxycarbonate by tertiary phosphines:

Pt(PPh₃)₂(O₃CO) + PPh₃ → Pt(PPh₃)₂(O₂CO) + OPPh₃ (Ph = C₆H₅)

Carbon dioxide undergoes disproportionation upon reaction with low-valence metals.^[7]

Reactions

Most fundamental reactivity of bicarbonate/carbonato complexes is their interconversion. This acid-base reaction has been examined mainly for unimolecular complexes. Such reactions are molecular versions of the familiar reaction of acids with carbonate minerals.

Protonation of carbonato complexes gives the corresponding bicarbonate. The structure of bicarbonate complex indicates that protonation occurs at the coordinated oxygen.^[8] This process is the microscopic reverse or the first step in the carbonation of metal hydroxides. Protonation of bicarbonate ligands results in loss of carbon dioxide and formation of the metal hydroxide. Particularly well studied are the reactions of [Co(NH₃)₄(CO₃)]⁺ and its ethylenediamine analogue carbonatobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III).^[1]

Homoleptic complexes

Few homoleptic carbonato complexes have been characterized. One is [Zr(CO₃)₄]^4-, featuring 8-ccordinate Zr(IV).^[9] Tris(carbonato)cobalt(III) ([Co(CO)₃]^3-) is another example.

Use and natural occurrence

Metal carbonato and bicarbonate complexes are of no direct commercial importance. Several minerals are metal carbonates, and a few feature molecular carbonate complexes, e.g. hellyerite ([Ni₂(CO₃)₂(H₂O)₈]^.H₂O.^[10]

In the biological sphere, zinc bicarbonate complexes are central intermediates in the action of the carbonic anhydrase:^[11]

[(imidazole)₃ZnOH]⁺ + CO₂ ⇌ [(imidazole)₃ZnOCO₂H]⁺
