Organometallic Chemistry and Technology 02-TML

Presentation of basic knowledge of synthesis, structure and reactivity of organometallic compounds and elements of industrial chemistry of organometallic compounds; training in basic methods of synthesis of organometallic compounds of different types; training in the methods permitting characterisation of organometallic compounds, physico-chemical properties of the most important organometallic compounds.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon completion of the course students are expected to:

Know and understand the fundamentals of organometallic chemistry, methods of synthesis, reactivity and structure determination of organometallic compounds, industrial methods of synthesis of organometallic compounds, applications of organometallic compounds in catalysis, organic synthesis and polymer chemistry.
2. Know laboratory techniques of work in neutral atmosphere, methods of drying and deoxygenation of gases, solvents and main groups of chemicals.
3. Be able to use basic laboratory techniques of organometallic chemistry, work in glove-box, work on the gas-vacuum line using the Schlenk technique.
4. Be able to interpret results of experiments and draw conclusions.
5. Be able to write reports.
