Metales de transición y complejos de coordinación

Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are …

In most main group element compounds, the valence electrons of the isolated atoms combine to form chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule. For …

For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to …

Isomerism in Complexes Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be …

Coordination compounds and complexes exhibit different colors, geometries, and magnetic behavior, depending on the metal atom/ion and ligands from which …

Crystal Field Theory To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between …
