Option: molecular chemistry 6 ECTS

Organometallic Chemistry

Course outline:

This course describes the fundamental reactions of transition metal complexes and some (industrially relevant) catalytic cycles. This course provides an introduction to catalysis as a tool for the development of clean and energy efficient synthesis processes.

Learning objectives:

The first objective of this course is to rationalize the reactivity of catalytically generated molecules and intermediates. The second objective is to develop a catalytic cycle in organometallic chemistry and to determine the appropriate analytical methods for the mechanistic study of a catalytic reaction by transition metal compounds.
