Empirical Formulae to Molecular Structures of Metal Complexes by Molar Conductance

Molar conductance studies of electrolytic solutions have always been exciting for chemists. The studies of electrolytic behavior of metal complex solutions provide brief insights into their nature and composition. These studies provide a clue of the number of ions present in a particular solution responsible for the conduction of electric current and, thereby, quite significant structural information can be obtained. Molar conductance data are exploited to ascertain electrolytic and non-electrolytic nature of metal complexes. Attempts have been made to summarize molar conductance ranges of metal complexes in various solvents, which might prove useful to researchers and academia. Besides, molar conductance data have been applied to predict geometries of metal complexes. Moreover, efforts have been made to discuss the applications of conductance data for the estimation of the size of structurally relevant complexes. In addition, molar conductance has been applied to determine metal-ligand stoichiometry. Finally, the structural variance of metal complexes in different solvents is discussed in terms of molar conductance measurements.
