| Description:
| Aims: To introduce the principles of the chemistry of the heavy transition metals. Learning Outcomes: After studying the Unit, students should be able to: * Explain the systematic trends across the d-block elements. * Contrast the differences down individual d-block triads. * Explain the principles behind the formation of metal-metal bonds in heavy d-metals. * Explain the structure of and bonding in clusters of the heavy d-block metals. * Analyse unseen data in the chemistry of these elements. Skills: Problem solving (T, F, A); Self-study (F). Content: A description of the chemistry of the second and third row d-block elements. The contrast between the chemistry of these heavier d-block elements with those of the first row. Metal-metal bonding in second and third row metal complexes. Selected chemistry of a d-block triad with an emphasis on metal clusters. |
