Kills
types of stereoisomerism shown by metal complexes including
those associated with bidentate and multidentate ligands
Cis trans isomerism
optical isomerism
use of cis platin as an anti cancer drug and its action by
binding to DNApreventing cell division
stereoisomerism molecules or complexes with the same
structural formula but with a different spatial arrangement of
these atoms

Cis trans isomerism
