Learning outcomes
The practice of stoichiometric calculations and the skill in
handling inorganic compounds will be proved and enhanced with lab
preparations and methodologies of increased difficulty
Course contents
Students will get confidence and skill on manipulating chemicals as main group and transition metal salts.
Main group elements:chemistry of selected anions: oxo-, hydroxo-; peroxo-halide- anions; polinuclear oxo-anions; synthesis of the peroxoborate anion; sol-gel silicate glasses from tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS); synthesis of K3[Al(ox)3]. Transition metal elements: descriptive chemistry; general periodic trends; representative reactions of the more usual cations of the first row transition metals. Coordination chemistry; structures, isomerism and stability of coordination compounds. [Cu(en)2]SO4 [Cu(en)3]SO4. Spectroscopic characterization and physical properties of the synthetized compounds: UV and IR spectra and magnetic susceptibility.
Evaluation of the purity by UV, IR magnetic susceptivity and
eventually observation of obtained crystals by microscope
