Cursusdoelen
The course offers the student a solid entry into the concepts of organometallic chemistry.
At the end of the course, the student will be able to
  • have insight in the structure and reactivity of organometallic compounds that contain a transition metal and are able to predict these;
  • relate the structure and reactivity of organometallic compounds;
  • use and include these aspects in reaction mechanisms;
  • design/recognize/predict general organometallic synthetic routes;
  • apply these insights in the use of organometallic compounds as homogeneous catalysts in various organic reactions
Inhoud
The course will follow the contents of the book by Crabtree and in addition include aspects of industrial homogeneous catalysis and the use of organometallic reagents and catalysts in organic synthesis.
Selected topics are:
  • Concise Introduction in Coordination Chemistry and Organometallic Chemistry
  • General Properties of Organometallic Complexes
  • Metal Alkyls, Aryls, and Hydrides
  • Carbonyl and Phosphine Complexes
  • Ligand Substitution Reactions
  • Complexes of p-Bound Ligands
  • Oxidative Addition and Reductive Elimination
  • Insertion and Elimination
  • Nucleophilic and Electrophilic Addition and Abstraction
  • Homogeneous Catalysis
  • Metal-Ligand Multiple Bonds
  • Applications of Organometallic Chemistry (industrial homogeneous catalysis, organic synthesis)
  • NMR spectroscopy in organometallic chemistry
  • Paramagnetic organometallic complexes
The course comprises of 18 full afternoon meetings (scheduled over 2 periods; periode 1 and 2), which consist of 2 hours of lecturing and 2 hours of problem hours each and which includes one practice exam.
