Abstract
The reaction between two or more independently stable molecules to give a stable product with its own characteristic properties has been known for many years. The ammine complexes formed between ammonia and cobalt(II) chloride are typical examples. In many instances the complex does not give reactions in solution characteristic of the uncomplexed metal ion or ligand. However, thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities vary so widely that this is not a general criterion of the formation of a coordination compound. The development of the ideas as to the nature of these compounds should be known to the student.
