COURSE CONTENT: The rate law. Kinetic behavior of the complexes. The deduction of the reaction mechanisms and activation parameters. Experimental determination of reaction rate. Substitution reaction at the octahedral, square-planar, pentacoordinated and tetrahedral reaction centres. Exchange reactions that involve mono- and polydentate ligands. Oxydation-reduction reactions. Bridgeing ligands. Reactions in the inner and outer coordination spheres, and the electron transfer reactions. Change of the ligand reactivity after complex formation. Conformational isomerism and stereochemical change. Geometrical and optical isomerism in octahedral and square-planar and racemisation of tetrahedral complexes. Organometallic substitution reactions. Homogeneous catalysis by transition metal complexes. Inorganic photochemistry.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Explain basic kinetic concepts (rate of reaction) and experimental methods.
2. Qualitatively and quantitatively describe reaction mechanisms in chemistry of coordination compounds.
3. Explain the most important influences on thermodinamical and kinetical stability of complexes.
4. Explain influence and importance of ligand properties and geometry on reactivity.
