<p>The module will build upon previously encountered material on structure and bonding in inorganic chemistry and will include symmetry and group theory, transition metal organometallic chemistry, electron deficiency and clusters. Reaction mechanisms at transition metal sites will be covered with an emphasis on how these apply in industrially relevant catalytic processes. The module will also cover NMR spectroscopy methods for the characterisation and dynamic study of inorganic systems, The module will also cover the photophysical and photochemical properties of transition metal complexes as well as bioinorganic chemistry and the pharmaceutical applications of metal complexes. An emphasis will be placed on recent cutting-edge developments in the literature.</p>

It is a condition of accreditation to notify the RSC of any changes to an accredited degree. 
Reaccreditation due 2023/24.

SMC4005 - Applied Organometallic & Coordination Chemistry

Applied Organometallic & Coordination Chemistry

evaluate the critical role of metals in nature and physiology.

predict the reactivity of metal complexes and use these predictions to assess catalytic activity.

describe and predict the properties of organometallic complexes and use this knowledge to evaluate applications in catalysis and solve complex problems.

make informed judgements upon the bonding and relative stabilities found in organometallic species.

evaluate concepts of structure and bonding in metal complexes and clusters.

understand hapticity and the bonding of -ligands to complexes and use this to make critical assessments relating to reactivity and structure.

use data generated from common spectroscopic and instrumental techniques to assess in a critical manner the structures of inorganic and organometallic compounds.
