Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
die Vorlesung und das SE „Koordinationschemie“ finden auch im SS2021 nicht vor Ort statt. Sie werden Skripten von der Vorlesung Montags ab 8. März 2021 von mir erhalten. Die erste Seminaraufgabe bekommen Sie am 18. März 2021 und dann jede zweite Woche Donnerstags. Es gibt insgesamt 12-13 Aufgaben zu lösen, die in Zusammenhang mit der Vorlesung stehen. Wer sich entschieden hat die Vorlesung zu absolvieren, muss auch für das Seminar „Koordinationschemie“ angemeldet sein.Die Prüfung wird Ende Juni 2021 stattfinden, entweder digital oder vor Ort in Abhängigket der Entwicklung der jetzigen COVID-Situation.Mit freundlichen Grüßen,Vladimir Arion

Assessment and permitted materials
The students should understand the notion of energy term. They should be able to derive energy terms for all electronic configurations from d1 to d10 and to determine the ground term. They have to be able to interpret and apply the Hund's rules, to understand the origin of splitting of energy levels in free atoms and ions, to be able to calculate spin-orbital coupling parameters for different ground states. The students should know how to describe the symmetry of particular molecule, to understand the term point group, and be able to determine the point group of any molecule.
They should understand the definition of a mathematical group and its properties, to know what mathematical representations mean and how these knowledge can be applied in chemistry for resolving particular tasks. They have to be able to understand the layout of a character table and use it for analysis of molecular vibrations and bonding in molecules. The effect of coordination environment on term splitting should be understood and described when necessary. The students should know how to use the Tanabe-Sugano diagrams for interpretation of electronic absorption spectra of transition metal complexes.
At exams the students can use the Diagram for Determination of Point Group According to Schönflies, the collection of Character tables, Tanabe-Sugano diagrams.
