| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
This course aims to understand the properties, reactions, photo functions, and natural activities of transition metal complexes at the atomic and molecular levels. In particular, the theme of the lectures will be to "solve the mysteries" that approach the relationship between metals and their functions. We will explore the details that cannot be addressed in Inorganic Chemistry 2 (Undergraduate Lecture) of the Advanced Chemistry Course of the Department of Industrial Chemistry and the Organometallic Chemistry 2 (Graduate lecture, Alternate years, First semester Fri. 1) of the Advanced Chemical Studies Group. In the first few lectures, we will cover the basic concepts necessary for understanding the whole course and review some of the areas that overlap with undergraduate lectures. This course is primarily targeted at master's course students. |

| Course Goals |
In this course, students will systematically study ・ The structure and bonding of transition metal complexes while reviewing some elements. ・Elementary reactions and their mechanisms forming the basis of homogenous catalytic reactions while reviewing some of the elements. ・Typical homogeneous catalytic reactions and their applications to organic synthesis and polymer synthesis. ・Why transition metals are necessary for homogeneous catalytic reactions and how they function at the atomic and molecular levels. ・Why transition metals, which only exist in trace amounts, are necessary for natural reactions and functions. ・Biological reactions and functions involving transition metals based on complex chemistry. |
