This subject extends the material delivered in CH2210 with applications in three areas
of modern inorganic chemistry: organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry and
inorganic materials chemistry. The organometallic chemistry component covers the bonding,
reactions and industrial applications of organometallic compounds including their
roles in homo- and heterogeneous catalysis and in organic synthetic transformations
; The section on bioinorganic chemistry covers the importance of transition metals
in metallo-proteins and enzymes, the possible applications of synthetic analogues
of these species and the use of transition metal complexes in medicine as either therapeutic
or diagnostic agents. The inorganic materials section describes the uses of inorganic
nanomaterials with a focus on catalysts for solar fuels and solar cells.
Learning Outcomes
- employ advanced synthetic methodology and purification techniques to produce and characterise
typical inorganic compounds;
- demonstrate the relationship between reactivity, selectivity and structure in organometallic
complexes;
- assess the role of metals in biology, and in the development and application of metal-based
therapeutics and diagnostics;
- describe the use of inorganic materials in the modern world.
