Metals overwhelmingly exist as their cations, but these are rarely met ‘naked’ – they are clothed in an array of other atoms, molecules or ions that involve coordinate covalent bonds (hence the name coordination compounds). These metal ion complexes are ubiquitous in nature, and are central to an array of natural and synthetic reactions.  \u003cp\u003eWritten in a highly readable, descriptive and accessible style \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Coordination Chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e describes properties of coordination compounds such as colour, magnetism and reactivity as well as the logic in their assembly and nomenclature.
