Complexes formed by metal atoms bonded to ions or molecules.
They are vital components in systems like chlorophyll and hemoglobin.
It is the atom to which ligands are bonded in a specific arrangement.
Homoleptic complexes have one type of ligand; heteroleptic have multiple types.
An ion or molecule that binds to a central atom in a coordination entity.
The number of ligand donor atoms bonded to the central metal ion.
The central atom and its attached ligands, enclosed in brackets.
Double salts dissociate into ions; complexes do not.
It describes primary and secondary valences of metal ions.
Different compounds with the same formula but different arrangements.
Isomerism due to different spatial arrangements of ligands.
Isomerism involving non-superimposable mirror images.
Isomerism arising from different binding sites of ambidentate ligands.
The charge on the central atom if all ligands are removed.
Ligands that bind through multiple donor atoms to a metal ion.
The spatial arrangement of ligands around the central atom.
To provide systematic naming and formula writing rules.
It can bind through different atoms, leading to linkage isomerism.
The ionizable valence satisfied by negative ions.
The non-ionizable valence satisfied by neutral molecules or ions.
