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-electrons and spectra, selecting suitable M(II) metals based on thermodynamic data, and designing spectroscopic tests for geometry and composition, with applications in catalysis, materials science, and bioinorganic systems.

What will I learn?
This course offers a clear overview of 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 properties, and magnetic behaviour, linking these to stability constants, spectroscopic analysis, experimental methods, and practical uses in catalysis and materials.
