Course Objectives :
A
systematic presentation of theoretical aspects of Inorganic Chemistry
as applied to transition metal chemistry. Also discussing the
stereochemistry, kinetics, thermodynamics and spectroscopy of
coordination compounds and their reactions .
Course Description :
Types
of ligands, Nomenclature of coordination complexes and IUPAC rules,
Symmetry point groups and structure, Coordination numbers and geometry,
Isomerism, preparative methods, mechanism of bonding in linear M-CO
bonds, Factors affecting the stability of complexes, Stability of
complex metal ion in aqueous solutions, chelate–effect, magnetic
properties of a chemical substances, magnetic susceptibility and
magnetic moments, electronic structure of transition metals, Bonding
theories in coordination compounds, valence bond theory(VBT), crystal
field theory(CFT), molecular orbital theory(MOT) of Oh and Td complexes, Angular overlap model(AOM).
