11.1: Introduction
11.2: Building Blocks- Metal Ions and Ligands in Transition Metal Complexes
Transition metal complexes or coordination complexes are molecules that contain groups arranged around a central metal ion. In a way, these are like "lego-molecules", easily assembled from smaller parts, and sometimes they are easily transformed into new molecules by switching out old parts for new ones. That rapid assembly and disassembly is part of what makes these compounds very useful in both industrial and biological catalysis.
