Synthesis of Coordination Compounds and its Applications

This book gives an idea about Coordination chemistry and its applications. The book represents ligand types, bonding theories and applications of various coordination compounds. It highlights one heterochelate ligand containing ¿N¿ and ¿O¿ as donor atoms, named Kynurenic acid (KYNA), which is a very important neurological drug with various biological applications. The book also includes the details about metal ions with their orbital splitting patterns, magnetic and spectroscopic properties. Elements and their biological functions with promising applications in tissue engineering, catalytic activity of metals, and the role of metal ions in enzyme action are discussed as well.
