Annotation -
The course focuses on the role transition metals in molecular structure and properties. It makes students familiar with common theories used for description of coordination compounds. It describes role of key properties of both metals and ligands which enable formation of coordination compounds and influence their properties (e.g. reactivity, biological activity, IR and UV-Vis spectra, magnetic behaviour).

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

Understand and use basic terms common in coordination chemistry field

Distinguish between CFT, LFT and MO approach, to know their individual advantages and applicability

Explain typical properties of coordination compounds with help of an appropriate model
