Contribution of the course to the overall degree programme goals
Expected learning outcomes
I) Knowing the metal-ligand interactions and understanding the influence of the ligands on the electronic structure of the metal centres.
II) Knowing the relationships between the electronic structure of the metal centres and the geometry of the coordination compounds.
III) Understanding the relationships between complex structure and spectroscopic and magnetic properties.
IV) Understanding the reactivity of the transition elements as a function of the electronic structure and of the coordination sphere.
V) Knowing the problems related to the extraction and use of the transition elements.
2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding.
I) Being able to use the concepts learned to foresee and logically interpret the chemical-physical properties of a complex.
II) Being able to propose coherent and feasible syntheses of coordination compounds.
III) Being able to frame a process linked to a transition element in terms of sustainability.
3. Ability to judge
I) Being able to evaluate the effects induced by changes in the electronic configuration of metal centres and in the coordination sphere.
II) Being able to recognize the basic elements determining the stability of a complex, so as to recognize similarities and differences between coordination compounds.
