Aim:  To give insight in the theory of chemical bonding in coordination compounds which is necessary to understand the experimental results and to be able to utilize the theory in practical applications.
Contents:  The basic chemistry dealt with in the courses 26000 and 26100 is further developed. The emphasis is placed on transition metal compounds. The concepts, theories, and models of coordination chemistry are introduced, and on this basis the structural, thermodynamic, kinetic, spectral, and magnetic properties of metal compounds are explained. The catalytic and bioinorganic aspects of coordination chemistry are discussed.
Remarks:  Of importance in areas where metal ions play a role, for example biochemistry, catalysis, analytical chemistry, and environmental chemistry. Prerequisite for 26126 Bioinorganic Chemistry.
