Dominant practical theory in inorganic chemical analysis indicates that coordination numbers

Dominant practical theory in inorganic chemical analysis indicates that coordination numbers from four to six are traditionally assigned for transition metals within the first row. On the other hand, coordination numbers namely three, seven and eight are not common and hardly seen. Moreover, the coordination number of eight is most minimal in occurrence compared to others which are relatively abundant. Although the CNs of eight prove to be rare, there is an increasing quest for the study of their composition due to the high possibility of being used in metallobiomolecules (Trofimenko 126). This is of remarkable biological importance bearing in mind that catalysis has a wide array of applications in this field. The synthesis of this rare species will greatly rely on ligands. Unfortunately, there has not been an orderly study of this group of complexes and therefore no platform for the study of other classified materials. In the synthesis process of the deep-blue 8C iron (II) complex with the chemical formula [Fe (LN4)2] (BF4)2, one of the conditions posed was a complete lack of oxygen besides using the correct proportions of individual reactants.
