Coordination Chemistry Course
Gain mastery in coordination chemistry by predicting octahedral isomers, assessing complex stability with ligand field and chelate effects, analysing colour and magnetism through d-electron counts and spectra, selecting suitable M(II) metals based on thermodynamic data, and designing spectroscopic tests for real-world transition metal complexes in catalysis, materials, and biological systems.

What will I learn?
This course offers a clear overview of coordination numbers, octahedral structures, and cis/trans isomers in complexes like [M(NH3)4Cl2] and [M(en)2Cl2]. Learners explore metal choices, d-electron configurations, ligand field theory, bonding principles, colour properties, and magnetic behaviour, linking these to stability constants, spectroscopic analysis, experimental methods, and practical uses in catalysis, materials science, and bioinorganic applications.

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of interest without needing to change platforms... I thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...

I like how the lessons are straight to the point and how I can change chapters and skip content I don't need.

Mariana FerresPhotography Student
I like the content and the way videos are presented and transcribed, which speeds up the process!

Luciana AlvarengaNail Design Student
The platform is fast, simple to use. The diversity of content and complementary videos really help with learning.
