Applications of Coordination Compounds

Coordination compounds have specific colours. Therefore, they find a common place in industries for intense colourations.
Phthalocyanine is a class of coordination complexes that the dyes and pigments industry extensively use. They use it to impart specific colouration to fabrics.

Some of the cyanide complexes find their use for electroplating a protective layer on surfaces. There are complexes that find the application of coordination compounds in photography.

EDTA is another complex compound we use for the determination of hardness of water. Uses of coordination compounds also involve their application as catalysts. These days, they are becoming increasingly popular in the polymer industry as well.

We apply the concept of coordination compounds in the extraction of metals from their ores too frequently these days.
Extraction of nickel and cobalt involves uses a major use of these compounds. These metals are extracted by hydro-metallurgical processes requiring a lot of complex ions.

As more and more coordination compounds are getting synthesised, scientists and engineers are now having a wide range of options for improving and optimising the processes that require them.
