COORDINATION COMPOUDS IN OUR DAILY LIFE
• Earlier, these compounds were called as complex compounds.
• Chlorophyll, haemoglobin and
vitamin B
12
are coordination
compounds of magnesium,
iron and cobalt respectively.
• Variety of metallurgical
processes, industrial catalysts
and analytical reagents involve
the use of coordination
compounds.
• Coordination compounds also
find many applications in
electroplating, textile dyeing
and medicinal chemistry.

COORDINATION COMPOUNDS DISCOVERY
• The sustained and systematic development of modern coordination chemistry
began with the discovery by the French chemist B.M. Tassaert in 1798 that
ammoniacal solutions of cobalt chloride (CoCl
3
) develops a brownish- red
colour.
• Further experiments were done by other scientists on this solutions and it was
found that it was a mixture of various coloured compounds of Co, Cl and NH
3
.
• These compounds were separated and it was found that in these compounds,
the no. of Co and Cl atoms remain same but no. of NH
3
molecules changes.
And simultaneously the colour of the compounds change.
• When 1 mole of each of these compounds was treated with excess AgNO
3
solution, different no. of moles of AgCl were precipitated as shown in the table
below.
