MindMap Gallery Basic concepts of coordination chemistry
Coordination chemistry is the study of complexes and their properties. A complex consists of a central atom (or ion) surrounded by ligands arranged around it. Ligands form coordinate bonds with the central atom through their lone pairs of electrons, resulting in stable complexes. The structure of a complex depends on the electronic configuration of the central atom, the nature and number of ligands, and external conditions. Coordination chemistry has broad applications in biology, medicine, and materials science, with complex structures found in metalloenzymes and metalloproteins within biological organisms.
