The red of blood, the green of chlorophyll and the blue of copper sulphate crystals all come from a metal ion with other groups around it. These complexes have shapes, names and colours that follow clear rules. In this chapter you learn Werner's theory and the naming of complexes, the isomerism they show, and how valence bond theory and crystal field theory explain colour and magnetism. Python counts isomers and fills the crystal field levels.

Werner's Theory and Naming Complexes
What a coordination compound is. Werner's theory, ligands and their types, the coordination number and the oxidation state of the metal, and the rules for naming complexes and writing their formulae.
Isomerism in Coordination Compounds
The kinds of isomer a complex can show. Structural isomers, geometrical isomers in square planar and octahedral complexes, and optical isomers.
