Further information on descriptions Description: Aims:
To provide experience in synthetic inorganic chemistry and introduce a range of experimental techniques.

Learning Outcomes:
After studying this Unit, students should be able to:
* Perform syntheses of coordination and organometallic compounds.
* Analyse compounds using a range of physical methods.
* Deduce structural information from physical methods of analysis.
* Write a clear and concise account of the experimental work undertaken and the deductions made from it.

Skills:
Practical skills (F, T, A), report writing (F, A), data analysis (F, A).

Content:
The experiments have been designed to illustrate some of the important features of coordination and organometallic chemistry. Compounds will be prepared and information obtained from a number of physical methods including IR spectroscopy, NMR, UV/visible spectroscopy, atomic absorption and measurement of magnetic moment. Experiments illustrating specific techniques such as column chromatography and inert atmosphere chemistry will also be performed.
While taking this module you must take CH20147 AND take CH20021 AND take CH20022 AND take CH20023.
Before taking this module you must take CH10009 AND take CH10193
