Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] This lecture will focus the chemistry of coordination compounds, in particular transition metal complexes, and organic supramolecular compounds. Principles, application and recent topics of those compounds will be described.
[Aim of the course] This lecture facilitates the students’ understandings about structure and geometry of transition metal complexes, d-orbitals of transition metals, bond theories, and application of the coordination compounds, and fundamental properties and application of organic supramolecular compounds.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this lecture, students will be able to (1) explain the coordinate bond, (2) explain the structure and reactivity of transition metal complexes, (3) explain the intermolecular interactions, and (4) design the supramolecular compounds.

Keywords

Transition metal complex, Ligand, Coordinate bond, functional coordination compound, Supramolecular compound

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

This course will proceed in the following order: (1) background of coordination chemistry, (2) basis and application of transition metal complexes, (3) fundamental issues of supramolecular interactions, (4) basis and application of supramolecular compounds. In the final class, the level of students' understanding will be tested through exercises and discussion.
