Subject Description

Upon completion of the subject 610-340 students should comprehend:

• the main types of reactions of coordination compounds; cluster molecules; organometallic species and biomolecules;
• the reasons for the different types of structures observed for such molecules;
• the procedures for determination of the structures via spectroscopic and related techniques;
• the mechanisms of the more important reactions.

The lecture course covers the topics: metal and main group chemistry: coordination; cluster and organometallic species; reactivity, including redox and catalytic processes; applications of nuclear magnetic resonance and related structural techniques.

Assessment

One 3-hour written examination at the end of Semester1. Practical work will be continuously assessed in the form of short reports. Satisfactory completion of the practical work is necessary before credit can be granted for this subject.
