Description

This course covers basic concepts of atomic structure, stereochemical principles and bonding models applied to main group and transition metal compounds and to the structure of solids. It considers an introduction to bond theories and reaction mechanisms of d-block complexes as well as the fundamental knowledge of the role of metal complexes in living organisms. Basic principles of inorganic coordination chemistry will be discussed and correlated to important application in organic synthesis, medicine, and biological catalysis.
