complex, known as hexol, into optical isomers, overthrowing the idea that solely carbon compounds may possess chirality. Introduction Coordination compound is ‘a compound formed from a Lewis acid and a Brønsted base’, a Lewis acid being an electron pair acceptor and a Brønsted base a proton acceptor. Thus the interaction of the Lewis acid metal centre as in Ni(ClO4)2 with the Brønsted base ammonia to make a complex in line with the given equation: Ni(ClO4)2 + 6NH3 →
