Students will get basic knowledge of chemistry, organometallic compounds, their properties, synthesis and application.

General and Inorganic Chemistry

Not applicable.

The course uses teaching methods in form of Lecture - 2 teaching hours per week. The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available to teachers and students.

At least 50% in the written examination is required to achieve. During the oral examination, the student demonstrates ability to logically interpret the structure and properties of organometallic compounds based on knowledge of general rules.

Introduction to the chemistry of organometallic compounds. The history of the first organometallic compounds. Current trends in the field of organometallic compounds.
Properties, use and handling with organometallic compounds. The methods of synthesis. Basic lecture about working under protective atmosphere without water and oxygen traces.
Definition of basic terms. The central atom and the ligand. The different types of ligands and their characteristics. Ligand hapticity. Characteristics of the central atom. Number of valence electrons. Number of nonbonding electrons. Oxidation number of central atom. Coordination number. 18-electron rule, trends and exeptions. Back donation. MO diagrams. Neutral and ionic convention.
Polynuclear complexes. Metal-metal bond in dinuclear complexes. Bridging ligand in dinuclear complexes and their types. Molecular magnetism. Basic types of clusters. Calculations of selected characteristics for clusters. Wade rule. Boranes and carboranes. Reactivity of clusters.
Typical reaction of complexes. Redox reactions, oxidative addition, reductive elimination and rearrangement of sigma-bond. Transfer of electrons in the outer sphere. Transfer of electrons and atoms in the inner sphere. Oxidative addition - threecenter mechanism, SN2 mechanism, ionic mechanism and radical mechanism. Reductive elimination. Sigma-bond metathesis. Reactions of nucleophiles and electrophiles with complexes. Substitution of ligands.
Selected organometallic compounds of main group elements, transition elements and inner transition elements. The preparation, properties, reactivity and utilization of organometallic compounds.

Not applicable.

The main aim of lectures is to obtain a basic knowledge of organometallic chemistry. Attention is being focused on practical topics and modern applications of these compounds on the one hand, on the other hand to the logic understanding and systematic classification (defining types of ligands, types of complexes, etc.). This approach allows, without unnecessary memorizing a deeper understanding of the relationship between the structure of these compounds and their chemical reactivity.

Lecture attendance is optional. The consultation is possible after agreement with the student in the regular office hours.
