Class Details

This course addresses fundamental aspects in the chemistry of transition metals, main group elements, and f-elements, that are relevant to a variety of important areas, including applications in organic synthetic transformations, medicine, materials, and industrial and biological catalysis. The course introduces concepts of symmetry and group theory, and applies them in a systematic approach to the study of the structure, bonding, and spectroscopy of coordination and inorganic compounds. The course also covers selected inorganic and organometallic reactions, their mechanisms and roles in nitrogen fixation, catalysis, solar energy, medicine, and nuclear energy. Through exploration of primary literature and review articles we will discuss recent developments and applications in the field.
