Inorganic & Coordination Chemistry
Labile and Inert Complexes
The kinetic classification of complexes according to how rapidly they exchange their ligands.
Inorganic & Coordination ChemistryLeaching
The selective dissolution of a metal or its compound from an ore using a suitable chemical reagent.
Inorganic & Coordination ChemistryLigand
An ion or molecule that donates one or more electron pairs to a central metal atom.
Inorganic & Coordination ChemistryLigand Field Theory
The refined bonding model that combines crystal field theory with molecular orbital treatment of metal–ligand covalency.
Inorganic & Coordination ChemistryLinkage Isomerism
Isomerism arising when an ambidentate ligand bonds to the metal through different donor atoms.
Inorganic & Coordination ChemistryLow Spin Complex
A complex in which electrons pair in the lower d orbitals rather than occupying the upper set.
