An Overview on Coordination Complex

Sathvik Arava

A coordination complex is composed of a central atom or ion (usually a metal) called a coordination center and a sequence around the bound molecule or ion. These are called ligands or complexing agents. Compounds containing many metal-containing compounds, especially transition metals (elements such as titanium belonging to the d block of the periodic table), are coordination complexes. Coordination complexes are so ubiquitous that their structures and reactions are described in many, and sometimes confusing ways. The atom in the ligand attached to the central metal atom or ion is called the donor atom.
