| | | | After this lab course, you are able to:
- independently design multi-step inorganic synthetic routes based on molecular concepts and on-line structure-based search engines (e.g. reaxys.com)
- independently and safely synthesize highly oxygen-sensitive and/or catalytically active metal complexes
- characterise (under guidance) metal complexes using some advanced spectroscopic techniques (e.g. 2D-NMR, EPR, cyclic voltammetry)
- determine the catalytic activity of a catalytically active metal complex
- carefully and adequately report the experimental results in a coherent report in English
|
| The Synthesis Laboratory (Inorganic Chemistry) is an extension to the course Synthesis Laboratory (Organic Chemistry) (NWI-MOL087A) involving advanced inorganic chemistry experiments. During this course you will further extend your theoretical knowledge of the course Inorganic Chemistry (NWI-MOL102) and practical knowledge of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (NWI-MOL044). Based on literature procedures and the handout you will carry out advanced metal-organic syntheses and characterize your products with techniques such as NMR, FTIR, UV-vis, magnetc susceptibility, and possibly EPR and CV. |
