Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The understanding of molecular symmetry and electronic structure of coordination compounds will be enhanced via performing training exercises.

Assessment and permitted materials

The following training exercises will be performed:
Generation of energy terms for electronic configurations p3, d3 and d2s;
calculation of the energy of spin-orbit levels for the ground term of the electron configurations d3 and d7 expressed via lambda or zeta ;
point group molecule classification by using the program: https://symotter.org;
successive Sn-symmetry operations with n even and uneven;
matrix representations of symmetry operations;
analysis of internal vibrations in the molecule of formaldehyde; splitting of one-electron set of f-orbitals/F-term in an octahedral coordination environment; MO diagram in molecules without "central atom", i.e. cyclobutadiene;
MO diagram of water molecule;
MO diagrams of sigma- and/or pi-bonding in octahedral metal complexes, e.g. [MCl6]n-.
