Synthesis of metal complexes
Accepted Answer
The synthesis of metal complexes typically involves the reaction of a metal ion with a ligand, which is a molecule or ion that has at least one atom or ion capable of donating a pair of electrons to the metal ion to form a coordinate bond. The resulting complex is typically characterized by its stoichiometry, geometry, and electronic structure, which can be influenced by the nature of the metal ion, the ligand, and the reaction conditions.
