Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture
Learning outcomes
"Organometallic Compounds" lecture extend knowledge of inorganic chemistry and is focused on characterization of organometllic compounds and new possibilities their syntheses and applications. It is addressed to master's degree students of inorganic chemistry and also to student of chemistry teaching disciplines.
Describe the different type of organometalic compounds including clusters, their syntheses, their reaction with other simple molecules and possibility of their application especially in catalysis. Recall basic terminology from coordination chemistry: ligand, coordination number, geometry, etc.
Prerequisites
Successfully completed AGC2 or AGX2 courses.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written exam

Minimal successfulness in written tests must be at least 60%. In the case of lower percentage value the oral discussion about chosen problem.
