About
Survey of the properties of the transition metals with emphasis on common oxidation levels, coordination geometries and compounds with "classical" ligands; "hard" and "soft" acids and bases; d-orbitals and their energies in different geometries; formation constants and the Chelate Effect, the Jahn-Teller theorem; low-, intermediate-, and high-spin systems; mixed valency; metal-ligand multiple bonding; metal-metal bonds; coordination clusters and their biological relevance.
