The coordination and organometallic chemistry of these ions will be discussed with an overview of their main applications. Inorganic chemistry "Applications and spin-offs" CH-711 Present and discuss important recent contributions in the field of inorganic chemistry. This will be achieved by student literature seminars based on selected publications,emanating from the last 12 months. Seminar preceded by an introduction to the topic and followed by a group discussion. Organometallic chemistry CH-223 Basic organometallic chemistry will be covered in this course. 1. Structure and bonding in organometallic compounds.2. reactivity of organometallic compounds, stoichiometric reactions, catalyzed reactions and reaction mechanisms. Awards CS F.
