- 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. At the end of the course students should be able to understand and explain synthesis, reactivity, and properties of transition metal compounds, supported by discussion of structure and bonding and their implications. The aim, on completion of the course, is that a student will be equipped to recognise the key classes of transition metal compound, their methods of characterisation, possible synthetic routes and anticipated reactivity.
- 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.
