Coordination Complexes
Explore common coordination geometries in 3D using simplified donor-atom skeletons.
Tetrahedral complexes have coordination number 4 with ligand directions pointing toward the corners of a tetrahedron.
Square planar complexes have coordination number 4 with all donor atoms in one plane, typically at 90°.
Octahedral complexes have coordination number 6 with ligand directions along ±x, ±y, and ±z.
Coordination complexes can show cis and trans isomerism depending on ligand arrangement.
Octahedral complexes may show fac / mer geometric isomerism and Λ / Δ optical isomerism.
Octahedral complexes may show linkage isomerism .
