Course objectives
The course covers an introduction to the principles underlying the chemistry of the d- and f-block metals. The main focus will be on the aspects of structure, bonding, chemical thermodynamics and spectroscopy, which underpin studies of the chemistry of these elements.
Syllabus
  • 1. Coordination compounds, ligands and their classification, coordination numbers. 2. Bonding in co rdination compounds, ligand-field theory. 3. Stereochemistry of coordination compounds. 4. Isomerism of coordination compounds, stereochemically nonrigid and fluxional molecules and ions. 5. General periodic trends among transition metals. Group 11- the coinage metals. 6. Group 12 (zinc, cadmium, mercury). 7. Transition metals of group 3-the scandium family and rare earths, the lanthanide contraction. 8. Transition metals of group 4 (titanium, zirkonium, hafnium). 9. Transition metals of group 5 (vanadium, niobium, tantalum). 10. Transition metals of group 6 (chromium, molybdenum, tungsten) and transition metals of group 7 (manganese, technetium, rhenium). 11. Isopoly and heteropolyanions. 12. The iron triad. 13. Platinum metals. 14. Multiply bonded dinuclear complexes. 15. Clusters with metal-metal bonds.
