Course description and aims

This course focuses on core knowledge about coordination chemistry. This represents a detailed discussion of coordination compounds and organometallic complexes. The aim of this course is to get students to gain core knowledge on the basis of their undergraduate inorganic chemistry courses. The knowledge acquired through this course will help students to study in their specialized fields.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the properties of metal complexes
2) Explain organometallic compounds

Keywords

coordination chemistry、transition metals

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Students should answer quizzes related to the lecture during each class.
