The course consists of two relatively independent parts. The first part deals with the symmetry, desctiption of molecules, chemical bond and its influence on a molecular geometry, rings in inorganic and organic chemistry, and problems of the chirality. This part includes also introduction to geometrical stereochemistry of same basic polyhedral coordination shells. The second part is concepted as a " stereochemical walk" through the periodical systems of elements. The special emphasis is focused on stereochemistry of metal complexes and basis of the supramolecular chemistry.
