Structure of the Gold-Sulfite complex
June 7, 2012Q. Aurous ion forms a complex with sulfite ion. I gather that the SO2- ion is shaped like an equilateral triangle, with each of the 3 'O's at the vertices. The aurous ion (I think) has an empty 's' orbital, and a completely filled set of 'd' and 'f' orbitals.
How does one ion "grip" the other?

A. Thanks for replying.
Sure, the thermodynamics of the complexation are the cause of them sticking together. But, what I meant was; what is the geometry of the complex?
