| Abstract | Introduction to the experimental methods of Inorganic Chemistry | ||||
| Learning objective | The teaching laboratory offers an insight into different aspects of Inorganic Chemistry, including solid state chemistry, organometallic chemistry, kinetics, etc.. The synthesis, characterization and analysis of inorganic compound are a main topic. Emphasis is given to scientific writing (experiment reports). | ||||
| Content | Inorganic chemistry part: Synthesis and analysis of elemento-organic compounds, metal complexes, and organometallic compounds. Introduction to Schlenk techniques, solid state synthesis, and kinetics. Introduction in the chemistry library: literature data banks and collections of spectra. Organic synthesis with organometallic compounds and catalysts: Experiments in the framework of a selected specialised project. Possible projects: Rh catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of enamides, Mn-catalysed epoxidation of olefins, Cu catalysed Diels-Alder reactions, synthesis of organo-boron compounds and Pd catalysed coupling with halides, Ru catalysed transfer hydrogenation. | ||||
| Lecture notes | A manual is distributed in the teaching laboratory. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Prerequisites: - Practical Course General Chemistry (1. Semester, 529-0011-04) - Practical Course Inorg. and Org. Chemistry I (2. Sem., 529-0230) - Attendance of Course Inorg. Chemistry 1 (3. Sem., 529-0121) If necessary, access priority will be settled according to the results of the first-year examinations. | ||||

| Abstract | Introduction to the experimental methods of Inorganic Chemistry | ||||
| Learning objective | The teaching laboratory offers an insight into different aspects of Inorganic Chemistry, including solid state chemistry, organometallic chemistry, kinetics, etc. The synthesis, characterization and analysis of inorganic compound are a main topic. Special emphasis on experimental techniques of synthetic inorganic chemistry, in particular the safe handling of reactive and pyrophoric chemical and solvent purification and drying techniques. Emphasis is given to scientific writing (experiment reports). | ||||
