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, colours, and magnetic properties, linking them to stability, spectroscopy methods, lab experiments, and practical uses in catalysis, materials science, and biological systems.
