Co-ordination Chemistry (F1083)
Co-ordination Chemistry
Module F1083
Module details for 2022/23.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 5
Module Outline
Coordination Chemistry provides a complete description of the non-organometallic molecular chemistry of the transition metals. It includes structure and bonding of coordination compounds, aspects of symmetry, inorganic reaction mechanisms, applications of NMR to inorganic systems and magnetochemistry.
Module learning outcomes
Describe quantitatively and qualitatively the electronic spectroscopy and magnetochemistry of transition metal complexes
Explain and describe the fundamental rationale for observed properties of transition metal complexes
Describe the synthesis, structure, symmetry, magnetoelectronic and spectroscopic properties of a given transition metal complex
Describe reaction mechanisms common to transition metal complexes with reference to synthesis and ligand transformations

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
