Coordination Chemistry
Delve into the intricacies of coordination chemistry through a comprehensive two-day course covering a wide range of topics. Explore coordination compounds, IUPAC nomenclature, valence bond theory, and isomerism. Examine quantum chemistry principles, including wave functions, operators, and postulates. Study crystal field theory, molecular orbital theory, and the stability of coordination compounds. Investigate the stereochemistry and colors of coordination complexes, as well as factors affecting 10Dq. Learn about substitution reactions in octahedral and square planar complexes, and understand the role of metal ions in biological systems. Cover additional organic chemistry topics such as conformations, active methylene compounds, phenols, alkanes, and aldehydes and ketones. Gain insights into quantum mechanics concepts like particle in a box, rigid rotator, and linear harmonic oscillator.
