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 from d-electron counts, selecting suitable M(II) metals based on thermodynamic data, and designing spectroscopic tests for real-world transition metal applications in catalysis, materials, and bioinorganic fields.

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 and materials science.
