koordinaatiokooltaan

koordinaatiokooltaan is a Finnish term that translates to "in terms of coordination size" or "with respect to coordination size." It is used in various scientific contexts, particularly in chemistry and physics, to describe or compare the size of a coordination sphere or the number of ligands around a central atom or ion.

In coordination chemistry, the coordination number refers to the number of atoms, molecules, or ions that are bonded to a central atom. The term "koordinaatiokooltaan" would then be used to discuss aspects related to this number, such as how the properties of a complex change as the coordination number varies, or to compare the coordination size of different complexes. For instance, one might discuss the steric effects of ligands and how they influence the achievable coordination size, or how the electronic properties of a metal center are affected by having a different number of coordinating atoms.

The concept can also be applied in materials science and crystallography, where it might refer to the local arrangement of atoms or molecules in a lattice structure. Understanding the coordination size in different parts of a material can provide insights into its physical properties, such as its density, strength, or conductivity. When comparing different crystalline phases or amorphous materials, "koordinaatiokooltaan" can be a useful descriptor for characterizing structural differences.
