Coordination compounds are those that have a metal ion (mostly a transition metal ion) bonded to anions or neutral molecules by sharing of electrons. In this chapter, we will explore what these compounds are, some important terminologies, and most importantly understand the bonding in these compounds.

Just as we saw in the case of cisplatin vs transplatin, geometrical isomers in octahedral complexes also have real-world consequences. Differences in properties like solubility in the cis and trans isomers would mean that one form would be more suitable in drug formulations than the other. Let's also explore the geometrical isomers exhibited by various octahedral complexes in this video.
