Chemistry: Coordination Chemistry and Organometallic Chemistry

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: KEMM52

<p>Immerse yourself in the chemistry of transition metals - learn about coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry combined with bio-inorganic chemistry. Great focus is placed on applications in organometallic chemistry, homogeneous catalysis and the importance of metals in biological systems.</p><p>KEMM52.The aim of the course is to enable students to acquire specialised theoretical and practical knowledge within coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry.  The course is about the chemistry of the transition metals - what compounds they form, what structures they have and how they react. A large focus is also placed on applications within organometallic chemistry, homogeneous catalysis and the importance of metals in biological systems. The course covers different spectroscopic methods that can be used to study metal complexes and in the laboratory students learn how to synthesise metal compounds using modern techniques, such as Schlenk techniques. </p> <h3>Course content</h3> <p><em>Lectures and exercises </em>deal with coordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry. The topics studied in this area include structure and bonding theories, reaction mechanisms and characterisation methods (NMR and molecular spectroscopy). The course also covers typical reactions within organometallic chemistry, the use of organometallic reagents in catalysis and organic synthesis, and databases in chemistry. Furthermore, the role of metals in biological systems is addressed.</p> <p><em>The laboratory sessions </em>are intended to provide students with practical skills in inorganic synthesis and other experimental techniques. The course also provides training in oral and written presentation.</p> <p>The aim of the<em> seminar </em>is to provide students with practical skills in compiling research literature and present this orally and in writing.</p><p>https://www.kemi.lu.se/en/education/courses/advanced-level</p>
