Catalogue data
| Abstract | Selected topics in general chemistry: 1) Acids, super acids, acidity functions, and unconventional solvents 2) Inorganic medicinal chemistry 3) History of radioactivity and modern radiochemistry 4) Molecular geometry and structure |
| Learning objective | In this course unit, participants acquire extended and more in-depth knowledge of selected chemistry topics. The selection is based to a large extent on the partial aspects of chemistry that are typically taught at high school. By gaining a broader understanding, teachers are put in a position where they can comprehend the topics that are to be taught in a wider and, to some extent, unconventional context and critically process these in respect of their teachability and learnabiltiy. At the same time, interrelationships between the classical sub-disciplines of chemistry are highlighted, along with the unique features of chemistry as one of the central natural sciences. |
| Content | Content of the four modules: 1) Acids, super acids, acidity functions, non acqueous media, and unconventional solvents. 2) Inorganic medicinal chemistry: Metals in biological systems, metal-containing drugs. 3) History of radioactivity and modern radiochemistry: From the discovery of radioactivity to modern element synthesis. 4) Molecular geometry and structure: From the VSEPR model to the electron localization function (ELF), hypervalent compounds and their applications. |
| Lecture notes | Folien und ausgewählte Literatur werden zur Verfügung gestellt. |
| Literature | Ausgewählte Artikel aus der Primärliteratur werden vorgestellt, kommentiert und zur Lektüre empfohlen. |
| Prerequisites / Notice | FV A (gelesen im Frühjahrsemester) und FV B (gelesen im Herbstsemester) bauen nicht aufeinander. Die Reihenfolge der Belegung ist somit indifferent. |
