Tetrahedral complex

A tetrahedral complex is a type of chemical structure where a central metal atom is surrounded by four other atoms or groups arranged at the corners of a tetrahedron, resembling a pyramid with four triangular faces. This geometry occurs because the surrounding atoms repel each other evenly, forming a balanced shape. It helps define how the complex behaves, interacts, and reacts chemically. Tetrahedral arrangements are common in many metal complexes, providing stability and specific properties essential in fields like catalysis, materials science, and bioinorganic chemistry.
