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.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the properties of metal complexes
2) Explain organometallic compounds
coordination chemistry、transition metals
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Students should answer quizzes related to the lecture during each class.
