Syllabus
The goal of this course is to examine in detail the systematic chemistry of relevant functional groups in organometallic chemistry of transition elements. Complexes of the following ligands with metal carbon-bonds will be described in detail: alkyls, aryls, acyles, vinyls, alkynyls, carbonyls, carbenes, carbynes, vinylydenes, olefins, dienes, alkynes, allyls, cyclobutadienyls, cyclopentadienyls, arenes, together with other non-carbon ligands as hydrides or dihydrogen complexes. Basic aspects of the bonding, structures, synthesis, characterization and reactivity will be detailed for every functional group. Moreover, the chemistry of transition metal derivatives with at least one metal-metal bond will be examined and their main applications will be illustrated. Basic aspects of the bonding, structures, synthesis, characterization and reactivity of metal clusters of transition metals in low or medium oxidation states will be detailed, together with some relevant applications taken from the recent literature.
