Synthesis of Coordination Compounds and its Applications

The book "Synthesis of Coordination Compounds and its Applications" offers a comprehensive introduction to coordination chemistry and its diverse applications. It covers various types of ligands and bonding theories that are crucial for understanding coordination compounds. Special attention is given to the heterochelating ligand kynurenic acid (KYNA), which is considered an important neurological drug and has numerous biological applications. Furthermore, the properties of metal ions, including their orbital splitting patterns as well as magnetic and spectroscopic properties, are explained in detail. The book also discusses the biological functions of elements and their promising applications in tissue engineering, the catalytic activity of metals, and the role of metal ions in enzymatic processes.
