Chapter 10 Coordination Chemistry Ii Bonding Theories 1

The lecture introduces the students to a new theory, namely (Ligand Field Theory). Assumptions, explanation of bonding and structure, covalency, d-orbital splitting, s, p and d orbital involvement are all discussed. Molecular Orbital Energy Level Diagrams (for Octahedral, Tetrahedral and square planar complexes) are then discussed.

Coordination Chemistry Ii Bonding Theories

The lecture is an introduction to bonding in coordination compounds. Experimental tools to understand bonding are described such as (Thermodynamics, Magnetism, introductory electronic spectra, coordination number, formation constants, entropy and bond strength effects on stability
