What will I learn?
This course offers a clear overview of coordination chemistry, covering coordination number, octahedral structures, and cis-trans isomerism 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 methods, experimental techniques, and practical uses in a concise manner.
