This manual contains theoretical material and questions for independent study on selected chapters of coordination chemistry. The material consists of three parts. The first part is devoted to the consideration of organometallic compounds of transition metals as one of the classes of coordination compounds—complexes with a metal–carbon bond. The second part examines the main processes of homogeneous catalysis using coordination compounds. The third part is devoted to the consideration of compounds with metal–metal bonds and cluster compounds, which are divided into two large subclasses—“low-valent” clusters with π-acceptor neutral ligands L, predominantly carbonyl clusters, and “high-valent” clusters containing anionic ligands of type X, such as halides or carboxylates. The concept of isolobal analogies of R. Hoffman is also considered in sufficient detail, which allows for easy establishment of connections between different types of classical complexes, organometallic compounds and clusters.
