This lecture covers the nomenclature and isomers in coordination chemistry, focusing on the naming conventions for different coordination compounds and the concept of isomerism. The slides discuss the systematic way of naming coordination compounds, including the order of ligands and metals, prefixes, and the use of multiple sets of prefixes. It also explains the different types of isomerism, such as geometric isomerism and coordination isomerism, with examples and explanations of how to differentiate between them. The lecture further delves into stereochemistry, highlighting the importance of geometric isomers and the factors that lead to their formation.
