| NKED77 | Inorganic Chemistry 3, ECTS-points /Oorganisk Kemi 3/ Advancement level: D | |
| Aim: The aim of the course is to give in-depth knowledge of modern inorganic chemistry, particularly inorganic synthesis and characterisation. Emphasis will also be laid on inorganic reaction mechanisms, chemical bonding, structural chemistry and complexes. Prerequisites: Inorganic Chemistry 2 (NKEB 21), Organic Chemistry 2 (NKEB 22), Physical Chemistry 2 (NKEB 33), Mathematics and Statistics (NMAA 30), or equivalent. Course organization: The course consists of lectures, lessons and laboratory work. The laboratory experiments may to some extent be carried out in the form of projects ending with an oral presentation. Course content: This is an advanced-level course in general inorganic chemistry dealing with the following topics: the electronic structure of hydrogenic and non-hydrogenic atoms (Aufbau Prinzip); molecular orbital theory for molecules consisting of two or more atoms and for solids; description of molecular forms and symmetries by way of group theory; redox reactions and acid-base reactions; properties and reactions of the s-, p-, d-, and f-metals; properties and reactions of hydrides, boranes, and silanes; properties and reactions of oxides, nitrides, and halides. Crystal structures of solids and the relationship between structure and physical/chemical properties. Complexes of d-elements, their reactions and electronic spectra (IR, UV-VIS, EPR). Catalysis.
