Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (KemiVU)
Course content
Descriptive chemistry, primarily of the transition metals:
Bonding and structure, reaction mechanisms and equilibrium. Simple
models for electronic spectra and magnetic properties of
coordination compounds.
Excersices encompassing some important characterization techniques
in inorganic chemistry.
Reading and analysis of contemporary research papers in inorganic
chemistry.
BSc Programme in Chemistry
Knowledge of:
- the important oxidation states for all elements
- important characterization techniques in inorganic chemistry and of the imformation provided by these techniques
- some basic models for electronic structure and reactivity of coordination compounds.
Skills:
- account for important binary compounds for all elements
- account for selected coordination compounds for the d- and f-block elements
- account for the general characteristic chemical behavior of all elements
- account for the most important experimantal techniques in inorganic chemistry; UV-vis, EPR, IR, heteronuclear NMR, fluorescence and CD spectroscopy; as well as electrochemistry. Being able to account for the shortcomings of these techniques
- account for structural, mechanistic and thermodynamic aspects of coordination chemistry, including isomerism and chelate effects
- account for the electronic properties of coordination compounds
- discuss organometallic chemistry and the models specific to this field.
Competences:
- an overview of the descriptive chemistry of the periodic table
- ablity to read, understand and discuss contemporary research literature in inorganic chemistry
- ability to suggest relevant experimantal techniques to address specific questions.
