Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course the student will have a basic knowledge about transition metal complexes. Student will be familiar with the geometry and reactivity of complexes. Student will know the most important reactions and their mechanisms. Moreover the students will get basic knowledge about the industrial use of transition metal complexes.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    This course is an introduction to transition metal-mediated organic chemistry. Student will be familiar with the reaction mechanism related to Organometallic chemistry. Student will have understanding of different properties that certain organometallic complexes have: Electron count, basicity, electrophility/nucleophilicity, ligand strength/exchange and their industrial use). The main focus will be in homogeneous catalytic systems that are currently used in both academia and industry. Emphasis will also be given to the understanding of properties of organometallic complexes and their interaction with substrates.
