| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Students are given an explanation of acids and bases, and oxidation and reduction, which are basic concepts of inorganic chemistry. Following this, students are taught about coordination chemistry, one of the core fields in inorganic chemistry. In order to prepare students to understand coordination chemistry, an introduction to group theory is given and the structure and properties of complexes are explained. | |||
| Course Goals | To understand acids and bases, as well as oxidation and reduction for inorganic compounds; to learn how group theory is used to describe molecular symmetry; and to understand the structure and electronic state of complexes, especially d-metal complexes. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Acids and bases, 3 sessions Students are given explanations of the Bronsted definition and Lewis definition of acids and bases, the concepts of hard acids and bases and soft acids and bases, specific examples of oxoacids, and acid‐base reactions in solvents. Oxidation and reduction, 3 sessions Explanations are given on basic concepts of oxidation-reduction reactions related to inorganic compounds, such as reduction potential, Nernst equation, Latimer diagrams, Frost diagrams, Pourbaix diagrams, the chemical extraction of simple substances, and Ellingham diagrams. Molecular symmetry, 3 sessions Here, the symmetry of molecules and the basics of group theory are explained. In particular, students are taught about symmetry operations, symmetry elements, point groups, the application of symmetry, orbital symmetry, molecular vibrations and spectroscopy. An introduction to coordination compounds, 2 sessions Explanations are given on specific examples of the structure and symmetry of complexes, the nomenclature of complexes, and the isomers in complexes. d-Metal complexes: electronic structure and properties, 3 sessions Students are given an explanation on the crystal field theory and the ligand field theory, then are taught how to clarify the electronic structure of a complex based on spectroscopy. In particular, students are taught about the basic principles of optical absorption, luminescence, electron paramagnetic resonance and other techniques in spectroscopy, and are given a clear explanation on the electronic structure of a complex that could be clarified by using these techniques. Confirmation of learning achieved, 1 session Here, the students’ understanding of the lecture contents is confirmed. |
