More than 100 years ago, Alfred Werner first proposed the structure of coordination complexes in the mode that we still use today! The following papers discuss some of Werner’s many accomplishments and contributions to the field of transition metal complexes.
- Werner’s intuition on coordination chemistry and current-day characterization on samples prepared by Werner and his lab are discussed in this report.
- In this paper, a brief history on coordination chemistry from the 19th Century and Werner’s proposed structures are presented.
- Crystallographic characterization of an original crystal prepared by Werner and his lab is shown here.
