Course content
1. Basic terminology of coordination chemistry (revision) - complex, coordination number, ligand, types of complexes and ligands. Bonds in coordination compounds, metal-metal bonding, hydrogen bond, theories VB, MO, CFT, LFT. d-orbital splitting. 2. Introduction in transition metal chemistry - oxidation state, colour, magnetism. Coordination geometry - stereochemistry, hybridization, secondary hybridization, isomerism, electron spectra, magnetochemistry. Methods for preparation of coordination compounds - stability constants and their determination, solvent influence. Non-aqueous solutions. 3. Less common oxidation states. Mixed-valence complexes. Acid-base theories. Kinetics and mechanism of coordination compound reactions - substitution, electron transfer, ligand transfer. 4. Complexes with pi-acceptor ligands - carbonyls, cyanido, nitrosyl complexes, complexes with molecular nitrogen. Clusters. pi-complexes - olephines, metallocenes, sandwich compounds. 5. Homogeneous (Wilkinson´s catalyst; hydrogenation; dimerization and isomerisation of olephines; template synthesis) and heterogeneous catalysis (Fischer-Tropsch process, Ziegler-Natta catalyst, catalysis by metal clusters ...) 6. Selected biological systems (bioinorganic chemistry) and basic methods of characterization of coordination compounds
