Alfred Werner revisited: Some subtleties of complex ion synthesis and isomerism

The synthesis of perhaps the best-known Wernerian complex, [Co(en)3]3+, is very efficient, but nonetheless results in the formation of various side-products. Today, the use of X-ray crystallography to characterise such materials provides new insights into the reaction pathways of the synthesis and t...
