Chap 9: Coordination Chemistry

Goals

Nomenclature

• Convert names to formulae
• Convert formulae to names
• Convert names to structures
• Convert formulae to structures
• Use the d^x, where x is the number of electrons on the metal, nomenclature to identify metal atoms and ions

Stereochemistry

• Use cis, trans, fac, and mer nomenclature where appropriate
• Recognize chiral centers on molecules
• Recognize chiral molecules and identify enantiomeric and diastereomeric relationships between molecules
