| Description:
| Aims: To provide experience in synthetic inorganic chemistry and introduce a range of experimental techniques. Learning Outcomes: After studying this Unit, students should be able to: * Perform 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. Skills: Practical skills (F, T, A), report writing (F, A), data analysis (F, A). 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. |
