CHM361 CASE STUDY

Coordination compounds are the backbone of modern inorganic, bio-inorganic chemistry and chemical
analysis. Coordination compounds are widely used in metallurgical processes, industrial catalysts and
analytical reagents. Coordination compounds are also found many applications in electroplating, textile
dyeing and medicinal chemistry.

Discuss ONE of the following applications given below. Write a maximum five pages report on a topic of
your choice.
1. Catalysts.
2. Metallurgical process.
3. Chelating agents.
4. Dyes.
5. Medicine.
6. Chemical analysis.
7. Biological system.
8. Electroplating.

Objectives
1. Identify the coordination compounds that have been used in the application.
2. Study the properties of coordination compound that leads to the useful application
3. Explore how coordination compound works in the application.
