  Complex (chemistry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The study of "coordination chemistry" is the study of "inorganic chemistry" of all alkali and alkaline earth metals, transition metals, lanthanides, actinides, and metalloids.
Typically the chemistry of complexes is dominated by interactions between s and p molecular orbitals of the ligands and the d (or f) orbitals of the metal ions.
The maximum coordination number for a certain metal is thus related to the electronic configuration of the metal ion (more specifically, the number of empty orbitals) and to the ratio of the size of the ligands and the metal ion.
