Kompleksikemian
Kompleksikemian, often translated as coordination chemistry or complex chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the study of compounds formed between a central metal atom or ion and a surrounding array of molecules or ions, known as ligands. These compounds are called coordination complexes or metal complexes. The central metal atom or ion typically acts as a Lewis acid, accepting electron pairs from the ligands, which act as Lewis bases.
The nature of the metal-ligand bond can vary, but it is often considered to be a dative
Kompleksikemian is crucial in understanding various phenomena. For instance, it explains the color of many inorganic
