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