These na u es make he coo dina ion compounds ha e hei cha ac e is ic chemical, physical, and op ical p ope ies (Huheey e al., 1993). And coo dina ion compounds a e a wo k as well as a school: hey ha e deep oo s in many p ac ical a eas o in e es . They a e u ilized in indus ial chemis y as ca alys s in chemical p ocesses such as hyd ogena ion and polyme iza ion (Ba on e al., 2003).

I is also wi hin he scope o his explo a ion ha he issues o chemis s in coo dina ing complica ed ligands o me al cen es, and he possibili y o u he imp o emen s o he coo dina ion chemis y disciplines, a e ouched upon. CLASSIFICATION OF COORDINATION COMPOUNDS The coo dina ion compounds a e di e en ia ed in many possible ways, a ying in se e al a ibu es such as he ype and numbe o he ligands, he me al cen e, cha ge, and o e all complex s uc u e. Such classi ica ions a e used in explaining he chemis y and eac i i y o coo dina ion compounds wi hin a ious se ings. 1. Based on Me al Cen e Coo dina ion compounds can be classi ied based on he ype o me al in ol ed in he complex: • T ansi ion Me al Complexes: They a e he mos nume ous o ms o coo dina ion compounds; hese a e based on ansi ion me als (elemen s o he d-block in he pe iodic able).

Bea ing in mind ha d- elec ons a e in ol ed in bonding, such complexes a e no mally desc ibed by hei special cha ac e is ics like colo and magne ic beha iou (Lehninge e al., 2008). • Main G oup Me al Complexes: Main-g oup me als (s- and p-block elemen s) a e no e y common many coo dina ion compounds a e also easible wi h main-g oup me als. Such complexes a e simple o bond and also possess less complica ed elec onic beha iou han ansi ion me al complexes. As an illus a i e example, aluminum and magnesium a e able o de elop coo dina ion complexes wi h such anions as ei he chlo ide o sul a e (Huheey e al., 1993). 2. Based on Ligand Types Coo dina ion compounds may also be de ined based on he numbe and ype o coo dina ed ligands: • Mononuclea Complexes: Mononuclea complexes include one me al a om o ion in he cen e, whose complex is bound o some ligands. Depending on he me al and ligands in ol ed, he coo dina ion numbe o he me al is usually 2, 4, o 6. As a case in poin , in a complex such as [Ni(CO)4], he nickel (Ni) a om is connec ed o ou ca bon monoxide (CO) ligands. • Polynuclea Complexes: These complexes a e desc ibed as ha ing mo e han one me al cen e ha has been linked by ligands. An example ha is widely known o a polynuclea complex is he ca alys ha consis s o i on and is used in indus y in p ocesses such as he Habe -Bosch p ocess.

One o he mos well-known examples is e hylenediamine e aace ic acid (EDTA), which is capable o o ming chela ed complexes wi h me als, such as calcium and i on. The s abiliza ion is caused by chela ing ligands, which a e known o o m many bonds wi h he me al cen e , and he eby he s abili y o he coo dina ion complex has been enhanced (Lehninge e al., 2008). The o ma ion o mul ime al- mul iligand chela es by i a ion o wo me als and wo compe ing ligands has a ac ed a en ion conce ning hei s uc u e and s abili y.

Based on Cha ge A coo dina ion compound is also ca ego ized by he o al cha ge o he complex: • Neu al Complexes: The ollowing complexes do no ca y any cha ge. A case example is [Ni(CO)4], in which he me al and he ligands a e bo h neu al. • Ca ionic Complexes: These a e complexes ha a e posi i ely cha ged because he e a e oo many p o ons. A case in poin is [Cu(NH3)4]2+, in which he coppe ion is consumed by ou ammonia ligands. • Anionic Complexes: such complexes ha e a nega i e cha ge, like he cha ge in [Fe(CN)6]4-, which has cyanide ligands enclosi eness o he cen e o i on (Huheey e al., 1993). 4. Based on Geome y The coo dina ion geome y o shape can also be discussed as he classi ica ion o coo dina ion compounds depending on he numbe o coo dina ion si es. Fo example: • Oc ahed al Complexes: The e a e he complexes, which con ain six ligands a ound he me al cen e and a e in he shape o an oc ahed on, such as he [Fe(CO)₆]²⁻. • The e ahed al complexes: e aheal h has ou ligands a ound he cen al me al ion wi h s uc u e, and such a s uc u e is e e ed o as e ahed al, like in [NiCl₄]². • Squa e Plana Complexes: consis o ou ligands in a squa e shape su ounding he me al, whe e hey usually appea in complexes o d8 ansi ion me al such as [P Cl₄]²⁻ (Jo gensen, 1999).

Also, coo dina ion compounds ind hei use in dyeing, whe eby me al complexes can be applied o ab ics o help hem achie e b igh colo s. 2. Biological Applica ions A lo o biological p ocesses also use coo dina ion compounds. The ole o hemoglobin, which is he p o ein in he blood ha anspo s oxygen, is widely known. Hemoglobin is a complex o i on, and in his case, he i on a om is coo dina ed o he ni ogen a oms o a heme g oup. This is seen o make i impe a i e since i binds and eleases oxygen e icien ly, allowing all e eb a es o engage in an ac called espi a ion (Mendel, 2000).

These echniques a e usually conjuga ed wi h a pa amagne ic gadolinium ion, which imp o es he magne ic esonance signal ha yields an imp o ed esolu ion in he MRI images (Mendel, 2000). 4.
