Coordination compounds are the backbone of modern inorganic and bio–inorganic chemistry and the chemical industry. This course offers a complete survey of the structure, bonding, properties, reactions, and applications of Coordination compounds. This course is divided into three units. Unit-1 provides a detailed description of structures of Coordination numbers 4, 5, 6, and 8. Unit-II offers the Bonding (CFT and MO Theory) in the coordination compounds and their spectral and magnetic properties. Unit-III covers the mechanism of substitution reactions in various coordination geometries.
After completion of this course, students can impart essential theoretical knowledge on structure, bonding, properties, reactions and applications of Coordination compounds. Students can also build their problem-solving skills on the above-mentioned topic. This will help them in various competitive examinations like CSIR-NET, GATE. Students can predict various geometries with different coordination numbers and can calculate the CFSE, and magnetic properties in a given coordination complex. They also learn the bonding (CFT and MO Theory both) in the coordination compounds, their spectral and magnetic properties in detail and also the mechanism of substitution reactions in various coordination geometries. This course is also helpful for those students who want to pursue their research in Inorganic Chemistry.
