What will I learn?
This course offers a clear overview of coordination numbers, octahedral shapes, and cis/trans isomers in complexes like [M(NH3)4Cl2] and [M(en)2Cl2]. Learners will study metal choices, d-electron counts, ligand field theory, bonding, colors, magnetism, and link these to stability, spectroscopy, lab methods, and practical uses in catalysis, materials, and biology.
