Advanced Organometallic Chemistry

3 credits · Undergraduate

Catalytic and stoichiometric transition metal mediated reactions of fundamental significance in synthetic chemistry are surveyed. Molecular orbital theory is used to understand structure and bonding in metal complexes and the reactivity properties of these species. Relevant examples from the current chemical literature are introduced. PREREQUISITES: CHEM 3103.03 (grade of C- or better) FORMATS: Lecture
