Chap 9: Coordination Chemistry
Goals
Nomenclature
- Convert names to formulae
- Convert formulae to names
- Convert names to structures
- Convert formulae to structures
- Use the dx, 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
