The Department of Chemistry organized a special lecture on “Coordination Chemistry: Nomenclature, Isomerism, Bonding Theories and Applications of Coordination Compounds” on 31st October 2026. The programme aimed to strengthen students' conceptual understanding of coordination chemistry and connect fundamental chemical principles with their practical applications.
The programme commenced
with an invocation rendered by Sinchana. The event was anchored by Preksha
C.S., and the biography of the resource person was introduced by Poojashree.
Lavanya delivered the welcome speech and warmly welcomed the dignitaries,
resource person, faculty members and students.
The introductory
address was delivered by Dr. B.N. Chandrashekar, Head of the Department
of Chemistry, who highlighted the importance of understanding basic sciences
and their gradual transformation into applied sciences. He emphasized that a
strong foundation in fundamental concepts is essential for developing
scientific knowledge, analytical thinking and practical problem-solving skills
among students.
Following this, the
Principal, Dr. M.K. Manjunath, addressed the gathering and highlighted
the significance of organizing special lectures for academic enrichment. He
encouraged students to make effective use of such opportunities to gain
additional subject knowledge, interact with resource persons and develop an
interest in higher learning and research.
The special lecture was
delivered by Dr. Jagadish. K, Assistant Professor, PG Department of
Chemistry, Sarada Vilas College, University of Mysore, Mysuru. His lecture
focused on the fundamental aspects of coordination chemistry, including
nomenclature, different types of isomerism, bonding theories and applications
of coordination compounds. He explained the concepts with relevant examples,
helping students understand the structural features, bonding nature and significance
of coordination compounds in various fields of chemistry.
The lecture provided
valuable academic insights, particularly in relation to the undergraduate
Chemistry syllabus prescribed by Hassan University. It helped students
strengthen their theoretical understanding and appreciate the relevance of
coordination chemistry in practical and applied fields.
The programme concluded
with a vote of thanks delivered by Moulappa, III semester student, who expressed
gratitude to the resource person, Principal, Head of the Department, faculty
members, organizers and students for making the event successful.
The special lecture was particularly beneficial for the I, III
and V Semester Chemistry students, as participation formed part of their
Continuous Assessment (CA) and C2 Assignment components. Overall, the programme
emphasized the importance of strengthening fundamental scientific knowledge and
connecting classroom learning with real-world applications.
