Chemistry: Inorganic Chemistry

Education facts

Code: KEMB22

<p>KEMB22. The aim of the course is to extend and consolidate students' knowledge and skills in inorganic chemistry, especially the chemistry of transition metals.</p> <p><strong>Course contents</strong><br /><em>Lectures:</em> The lectures will focus on the properties of coordination complexes with an emphasis on structures, dynamics and chemical bonding of such complexes. This will include: Modern coordination chemistry, especially its interfaces with other subject areas, e.g. catalysis and solid-state chemistry. Chemical bonding with an emphasis on application of molecular orbital theory. Inorganic reaction mechanisms and kinetics. Basic organometallic chemistry and organometallic catalysis.</p> <p><em>Laboratory exercises:</em> The students are required to carry out three laboratory exercises that are designed to illustrate some of the important concepts in the course and provide the students with common practical chemical laboratory skills.</p><p>https://www.kemi.lu.se/utbildning/kurser/grundniva</p>
