Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
KE525 inorganic chemistry and one of the courses FY521 Introductory quantum mechanics I, KE818 Supplementary Course in Quantum Chemistry and Symmetry, KE522 Quantum Chemistry and Theoretical Spectroscopy or KE524 Quantum Chemistry must be attended simultaneously at the latest.

TEK-students: Bachelor in Technological Science (Chemistry) or similar, or admitted to a Master of Science in Engineering - Chemistry

Course introduction
The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge about the structure of inorganic compounds, properties and reactions at an advanced level.

Expected learning outcome
At the end of the course the student is expected to be able to:

Calculate and assign electronic spectra and magnetic structure of transition metal complexes.
Suggest reasonable geometrical structures for transition metal complexes including organometallic compounds).
Suggest reaction mechanisms for the most important substitution and redox reactions involving transition metal complexes including organometallic compounds.
Interpret experimental data and relate this to the structure and properties of inorganic compounds.
Relate the function of inorganic materials to their chemical composition.

Subject overview
Fundamental principles of the structure and reactivity of coordination compounds. Ligand field theory, interpretation of electronic spectra and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes. The mechanism of substitution and redox reactions. Organometallic chemistry including applications in catalysis.
Selected topics from solid state chemistry.
Synthesis of a series of inorganic compounds and characterization of these by.  UV-visible, NMR and ESR spectroscopy, X-ray-diffraction and thermal analysis.
