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.

In this video, we will explore the geometrical isomers of different square planar complexes. But not that just that! Have you wondered why is it that despite having the same coordination no. of 4, only square planar complexes exhibit geometrical isomerism and not tetrahedral complexes? Let's find out in this video! Timestamps: 0:00: Introduction 0:56: In what type of coordination complexes do we see geometrical isomerism? 2:45: Why don’t tetrahedral complexes exhibit geometrical isomerism? 4:41: Geometrical isomerism in [Ma2b2] and[Ma2bc] complexes. 5:59: Geometrical isomerism in [Mabcd] complexes. 9:03: Geometrical isomerism in [Ma3b] complexes.
