General Properties of Transition Metals
... • Transition metals can form complexes because their ions have a high charge density: o they have quite a large nuclear charge but are relatively small; o the 3d electrons are not so effective (as 2s or 2p electrons) at shielding the effect of the ionic charge which really comes from the nucleus. ...

Coordination complex

In chemistry, a coordination complex or metal complex consists of a central atom or ion, which is usually metallic and is called the coordination centre, and a surrounding array of bound molecules or ions, that are in turn known as ligands or complexing agents. Many metal-containing compounds, especially those of transition metals, are coordination complexes.
