Requirements to the exam -

Examination is oral and follows the syllabus by covering the three main parts of the lecture, viz.

(1) organoelement chemistry of main group elements,

(2) organoelement chemistry of transition metals, lanthanides and actinides, and

(3) catalytic processes with participation of organometallic compounds.

Syllabus -

  • Main group organoelement compounds: Groups 1, 2 and 12–16 (types, structure, synthesis and reactivity).

  • Carbonyls (coordination modes, structures, synthesis, reactivity).

  • Transition-metal organometallic compounds with η1 – η8 ligands (bonding, synthesis and reactivity). Activation of C–H and C–C bonds.

  • Organolanthanides, organoactinides.

  • Isolobal relationships.

  • Reactions of TM-organometallic compounds (general comments).

  • Selected catalytic applications involving organometallic compounds.
