Coordination Chemistry Course
Gain mastery in coordination chemistry by predicting octahedral isomers, analysing colour and magnetism through d-electron counts and ligand field splitting, evaluating complex stability with chelate and HSAB principles, selecting suitable M(II) metals based on thermodynamic and kinetic data, and designing spectroscopic tests for real-world transition metal complexes used 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.
