Further information on descriptions Description: Aims & Learning Objectives:
To provide experience in synthetic inorganic chemistry and introduce a range of experimental techniques and to give students the experience of presenting scientific results by means of a poster presentation.
After studying this Unit, students should be able to:
* Perform straightforward syntheses of coordination and organometallic compounds.
* Analyse compounds using a range of physical methods.
* Deduce structural information from physical methods of analysis.
* Write a clear and concise account of the experimental work undertaken and the deductions made from it.
* Prepare and present a poster on a chemical topic.

Content:
The experiments have been designed to illustrate some of the important features of coordination and organometallic chemistry. Compounds will be prepared and information obtained from a number of physical methods including IR spectroscopy, NMR, UV/visible spectroscopy, atomic absorption and measurement of magnetic moment. Experiments illustrating specific techniques such as column chromatography and inert atmosphere chemistry will also be performed.
