Koordinationschemie - Struktur-Funktionsbeziehungen, Klausur

What it is about

You engage with advanced concepts of coordination chemistry of transition metal complexes, their electronic structure, properties and reactivity. In the module you will learn to understand and apply structure–property and structure–reactivity relationships in order to predict reactivity and design coordination environments for target reactions.

What you will be able to do

• Knowledge of fundamental chemical and physical relationships of modern coordination chemistry
• Application of knowledge to the design of ligands and coordination environments
• Analysis and assessment of electronic structure and reactivity of transition metal complexes
• Development of your own experimental approaches and proposals addressing current questions
• Selection of suitable synthetic and spectroscopic methods for specific problems
• Conception of structure–function relationships and critical evaluation of scientific literature
