| 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. | ||||
| 529-0132-AAL | Inorganic Chemistry III: Organometallic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis Enrolment ONLY for MSc students with a decree declaring this course unit as an additional admission requirement. All other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course unit. This course does not offer a lecture of its own but it is linked to the course 529-0132-00L. | 4 credits | 9R | A. Togni, A. Mezzetti | |
| Abstract | Fundamental aspects of the organometallic chemistry ot the transition elements. Mechanistic homogeneous catalysis including oxidative additions, reductive eliminations and insertion reactions. Catalytic hydrogenation, carbonylation, C-C bond-forming and related reactions. | ||||
| Learning objective | Towards an understanding of the fundamental coordination-chemical and mechanistic aspects of transition-metal chemistry relevant to homogeneous catalysis. | ||||

| Literature | 1) Robert H. Crabtree, The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals, 6th Edition, Wiley, 2014, ISBN: 978-1-118-13807-6. A relatively concise but excellent introduction to organometallic chemistry. Strong textbook character, available as E-book 2) John F. Hartwig, Organotransition Metal Chemistry. From Bonding to Catalysis, University Science Books, 2010, ISBN: 978-1-891389-53-5. A more comprehensive standard work on organometallic chemistry. Several chapters written by various authors, partly specialized review-article style. | ||||
