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