Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

- Fundamental aspects of organometallic chemistry (18 electron rule, crystal field theory, oxidative addition, reductive elimination, substitution and insertion reactions, ?-bond metathesis, trans-effect).
- Synthesis and reactivity of complexes with various ligand casses: alkyl-, alkene-, alkyne-, allyl-, carben-, carbyne-, carbonyl- and phosphine-ligands.
- Relevance of organo(transition-)metal reagents and catalysts in organic synthesis will be highlighted using selected examples.

Assessment and permitted materials

Oral examination (60 min), by appointment

minimum requirement:
In order to pass the exam, the student should be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the discussed principles for the synthesis and reactivity of organometallic compounds and their elementary reaction steps.
