Yes, I have one that is very good. I don't have it on my person atm as I lent it to a friend who's still at university. I will enquire about the
title/author...

I will give you this helpful tip - many bare metal ions often behave as mild lewis acids outside of a crystal lattice. A coordination compound is
comparable to an adduct between a lewis acid and lewis base. The metal ion donates some of its positive charge to the surrounding coordination
centers. One way to view this is to draw a resonance state diagram. When an H2O or NH3 molecule has a positive charge on it, it can bond to something
else. A coordination bond is weaker because the H2O only has a partial positive charge. Chloride anions can also act as ligands in many cases.
Coordination complexes are really fundamentally no different than any other polyatomic ion in resonance.
