Name an important industrial application of coordination complexes.
One significant industrial application of coordination complexes is catalysis. Transition metal complexes serve as catalysts in a wide range of chemical reactions, from the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia production to the catalytic converters in automobiles. These complexes enhance reaction rates and selectivity, making them essential in various industrial processes.

Define the term "coordination isomerism" in coordination chemistry and provide an example
Coordination isomerism is a type of structural isomerism in coordination complexes where the connectivity of the central metal atom or ion with different ligands changes. An example is the coordination isomerism in the complex [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4, where the positions of the sulfate ion and bromide ion are exchanged.
What are the two primary types of isomerism in coordination compounds, and how do they differ?
What are the two primary types of isomerism in coordination compounds, and how do they differ?
The two main types of isomerism in coordination compounds are structural isomerism and stereoisomerism.
Structural isomerism: In this type of isomerism, the connectivity of atoms within the complex is different. Common examples include linkage isomerism, coordination isomerism, and ionization isomerism.
Stereoisomerism: Stereoisomers have the same connectivity of atoms but differ in the spatial arrangement of ligands. This can be further divided into geometric (cis-trans) isomerism and optical (enantiomeric) isomerism.
