This class will discuss advanced concepts in organometallic, bio-inorganic and coordination chemistry, in the context of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis as well as enzymatic processes.The class will thus cover a broad range of catalytic transformations focusing on the sustainable and efficient use of feedstock molecules, exploring the parallel between industrial and biological systems.

Qualitative analysis (determination of cations and anions), acid-base-equilibria (pH- values, titrations, buffer), precipitation equilibria (gravimetry, potentiometry, conductivity), redoxreactions (syntheses, redox-titrations, galvanic elements), metal complexes (syntheses, complexometric titration)analysis of measured values, states of aggregation (vapour pressure, conductivity, calorimetry)

Chemistry II: Redox reactions, chemistry of the elements, introduction to organic chemistryIn the course "Chemistry II", the competencies of process understanding, system understanding, modeling, concept development and data analysis & interpretation are taught, applied and examined.

Chemistry II: Redox reactions, chemistry of the elements, introduction to organic chemistry

This course covers the synthesis, properties and applications of inorganic materials. In particular, the focus is on photo-active coordination compounds, quasicrystals, nanocrystals (including nanowires), molecular precursors for inorganic materials and metal-organic frameworks.

In the General Chemistry Practical Course, students are introduced to the work in a modern chemistry laboratory. Conceptually, the course addresses three major topics: (i) inherent risks in the chemistry laboratory, (ii) common equipment and techniques, (iii) basic classes of reactions and chemical equilibrium.

1) General definitions 2) The VSEPR model 3) Qualitative molecular orbital diagrams 4) Closest packing, metal structures 5) The Structures of metalloids6) Structures of the non-metals 7) Synthesis of the elements 8) Reactivity of the elements 9) Ionic Compounds 10) Ions in Solution 11) Element hydrogen compounds 12) Element halogen compounds 13) Element oxygen compounds 14) Redox chemistry

Introduction to structures, (electronic/physicochemical) properties, and bonding in transition metal coordination compounds with focus on MO theory and methods of characterization.

The lecture is based on Inorganic Chemistry I and addresses an enhanced understanding of the symmetry aspects of chemical bonding of molecules and translation polymers, i.e. crystal structures.
