<strong>Introduction</strong> <strong>to</strong> d-<strong>Block</strong> <strong>Chemistry</strong>Coordination Numbers and GeometriesC.N. = 6:• Most common coordination type by far for d metals.• Seen for all configs from d 0 <strong>to</strong> d 10 .• Octahedral (O h ) geometry by far the most common. A few examples ofti trigonal prismatic (D 3h symmetry) geometry is also known.• Many structures exist that are intermediate between these two geometries.O hsymmetryTrigonal prismD 3h symmetry
