This course will cover the chemistry and structure of transition metal compounds; electronic, spectral and structural properties of transition metal complexes; VB and MO theory of metal complexes; mechanisms of their substitution and redox reactions. Students will also be introduced to organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, principles of metallurgy and technical applications of transition metals.
