Content
This unit builds on the foundations of coordination chemistry introduced in SLE210. Students will learn further theory of inorganic chemistry including electronic spectroscopy, organometallic and bioinorganic chemistry, and about metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The laboratory program will allow students to explore practically how coordination compounds are made and some of their uses in catalysis. The unit is presented in the context of green and sustainable chemistry, and all aspects will involve evaluation of the environmental impact of the chemistry.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must achieve at least 50% of the marks available in the practical component.
