Aim and Content
The course aims to provide the students with a thorough understanding of the relationship between the structures, chemical bonds and chemical properties in organometallic chemistry. They will also receive extensive knowledge of transition metal complexes, particularly aimed at catalysis. The first part of the lecture will cover some general and introductory concepts from nomenclature, crystal-field theory, ligand-field theory, 18-electrons rule and its limitation, different types of ligands, the geometry\coordination mode and the fundamental reactions in organometallic chemistry. Then the second part will focus on a detailed look at organometallic chemistry with emphasis on bonding theory, synthesis and reactivity of s- and p-bonded ligands. The applications of organometallic complexes in organic synthesis and industrial catalysis will be covered during the lecture.
