Environmental chemistry concerns the sources, transport, transformation, effects, and fates of chemicals in air, water, soil, and biota. Since a large number of different chemical species co-exist in the environments, interactions among these chemical species are ubiquitous. Coordination chemistry is the science about the interactions of organic and inorganic ligands with metal central atoms. Complexations of transition metal (e.g., iron and copper) are fundamental chemical process in natural waters, which are involved in various environmental chemistry for water researches, e.g., sorption, redox reaction, photolysis, ion exchanges, partition, speciation and the toxicity. This lecture provides some backgrounds, progresses and insights in the photochemical behaviours of Iron(III) or Cu(II) complexes and the autooxidation of sulfite via complexation with metal ions, which aims to emphasize the importance of coordination chemistry perspective in water researches.
