    Chemistry 107 Lecture 20 

                and

Coordination Chemistry I: Nomenclature, Coordination Geometries, and Isomers

    Chemistry 107 Lecture 21

                and

Coordination Chemistry I: Coordination Geometries

    Chemistry 107 Lecture 22                    

• Explanation: An introduction to the structure and nomenclature of coordination compounds. The coordination chemistry section begins at minute 24.

• Video 1: Coordination Chemistry 1: Structures and Isomers: YouTube video: https://youtu.be/meBcz34qnsU, 50 minutes total, but only 26 minutes of coordination chemistry.

• pdf Supporting Materials: Chemistry 107 lecture supplements:  These notes present an introduction to transition metal complexes. The concept of the metal as the Lewis acid and the ligand(s) as Lewis base(s) is illustrated. The notes present common mono- and multi-dentate ligands and reviews coordination chemistry nomenclature. 17 pages.  (20_Ch9_Coord Chem I.pdf).

• Explanation: This video presents many examples of naming coordination complexes and provides a discussion of the different types of structural isomers (ionization, hydrate, linkage, and coordination) and stereoisomers (geometric and optical) that occur in coordination complexes.

• Video 2: Coordination Chemistry 1: Nomenclature, Coordination Geometries, and Isomers: YouTube video: https://youtu.be/200OJEOE6A4, 51 minutes.

• pdf Supporting Materials: Chemistry 107 lecture supplements:  These notes present the differences between various types of coordination complex isomers and then presents examples of complexes with coordination of numbers 1 through 8.  (21_Ch9_Coord Chem I.pdf).

• Explanation: Complexes with coordination numbers 1 through 8 are presented in the first 38 minutes of the video.

• Video 3: Coordination Chemistry 1: Coordination Geometries: YouTube video: https://youtu.be/AkmM9x4EkiU, 50 minutes.

• pdf Supporting Materials: Chemistry 107 lecture supplements:  The pdf that supports this video is the same as the file for video 2 above.  (21_Ch9_Coord Chem I.pdf).
