Coordination Chemistry

It will give an excellent opportunity to study and use the century-old noble prize-winning knowledge of coordination chemistry. The study will also lead to understanding the difference between a coordinated ligand and a charge balancing ion in a coordination compound. Complexation reactions, stability constants structures, geometrical and optical isomerism, bonding, reactions, and reactivity will be discussed. Color and electronic, and magnetic properties will be delineated with respect to their application in analytical chemistry, Industry and medicine.
