Objectives
COURSE AIM. THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN SYNTHETIC APPROACHES USED IN THE FIELD OF INORGANIC AND METAL-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL KNOW:
- THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE SYNTHESIS OF METALORGANIC COMPLEXES
- THE USE OF SCHLENK TECHNIQUES AND THE MAIN RELATED EQUIPMENT
- THE REACTIVITY OF THE MAIN FAMILIES OF METAL-ORGANIC COMPLEXES
THE STUDENT WILL BE ALSO ABLE TO:
- UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE AND REACTIVITY OF THE MAIN CLASSES OF METAL-ORGANIC COMPLEXES
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- EVALUATE THE MOST CONVENIENT SYNTHETIC STRATEGIES FOR THE MAIN FAMILIES OF ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS
- DISCUSS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAIN CLASSES OF LIGANDS USED IN METAL-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
- DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF ELECTRONS, STABILITY AND REACTIVITY OF METAL-ORGANIC COMPLEXES
MAKING JUDGMENTS. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- CRITICALLY EVALUATE THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE SYNTHESIS AND PURIFICATION OF METAL-ORGANIC COMPLEXES
- USE THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROCESSES AT THE INTERFACE BETWEEN INORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
COMMUNICATION SKILLS. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- DESCRIBE AND REPRESENT METAL-ORGANIC COMPLEXES OF DIFFERENT TYPES
- COMMUNICATE AND PRESENT BY MEANS OF REPORTS, ALSO IN DIGITAL FORMAT, AND IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CONTEXT, A METAL-ORGANIC SYNTHESIS PROJECT AND AN OPERATIONAL PROTOCOL IN WRITTEN AND ORAL FORM, USING APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY.
LEARNING SKILL. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- USE BIBLIOGRAPHIC TOOLS TO UPDATE HIS/HER KNOWLEDGE OF INORGANIC AND METAL-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY;
- ADEQUATELY UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURAL CONTENTS DESCRIBED IN THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE.
Prerequisites
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND MOST OF THE SUBJECTS COVERED IN THIS TEACHING CLASS STUDENTS WOULD HAVE PASSED THE INORGANIC CHEMISTRY I EXAMINATION.
Contents
THE COURSE INCLUDES 2 THEORETICAL CFUS (16 H) IN WHICH THE FOLLOWING TOPICS WILL BE DISCUSSED:
SYNTHESIS, PROPERTIES AND REACTIVITY OF INORGANIC AND METALORGANIC COMPOUNDS OF METALS BOTH OF THE MAIN GROUPS AND OF THE TRANSITION SERIES (6 H). HANDLING TECHNIQUES OF AIR-SENSITIVE COMPOUNDS AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT (4 H). SPECTROSCOPIC CHARACTERIZATION OF DIAMAGNETIC AND PARAMAGNETIC COMPOUNDS (IN PARTICULAR, UV-VISIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY AND MEASUREMENT OF MAGNETIC MOMENT) (4 H) APPLICATION IN CATALYSIS OF SOME OF THESE COMPOUNDS FOLLOWING EXAMPLES OF SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE (2H).
THE 4 CFU LABS WILL INCLUDE:
1) SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF A SILVER COMPLEX WITH AN N-HETEROCYCLIC CARBENE (12 H).
2) USE OF A TITANIUM METALLOCENE AS A COLORIMETRIC INDICATOR FOR LEARNING INERT ATMOSPHERE TECHNIQUES (8 H).
3) SYNTHESIS OF A GRIGNARD REAGENT AND ITS TITRATION (10 H).
4) SYNTHESIS OF A PHOSPHINIC COMPLEX OF RUTHENIUM, RECOVER IN GLOVE BOX AND CHARACTERIZATION BY NMR. USE OF THE COMPLEX AS A CATALYST FOR OXIDATION OF ALCOHOLS (18 H).
Teaching Methods
THE TEACHING CLASS INCLUDES 16 HOURS (2 CFUS) OF FRONTAL TEACHING DURING WHICH THE TOPICS LISTED IN THE "CONTENTS" SECTION WILL BE DISCUSSED, FROM DEFINITIONS TO SPECIFIC CASES AND ANY EXCEPTIONS, THROUGH EXAMPLES AND EXERCISES. MOREOVER, THE LABORATORY EXPERIENCES WILL BE EXPLAINED IN DETAIL. 48 HOURS (4 CFUS) WILL BE DEDICATED TO LABORATORY ACTIVITIES DURING WHICH THE STUDENT WILL BE LED BY THE TEACHER TO ACQUIRE THE MANUAL SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY IN THE LABORATORY. THE FREQUENCY OF CLASSROOM LESSONS IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. THE FREQUENCY OF LABORATORY EXPERIENCES IS MANDATORY. TO ACCESS TO THE FINAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE PARTICIPATED TO AT LEAST 75% OF THE HOURS DEDICATED TO LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS.
Verification of learning
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE TEACHING CLASS IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAMINATION (VOTE IN THIRTIETHS).
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF AN ORAL TEST. ORAL EXAMINATION CAN BE ACCESSED AFTER DELIVERING THE REPORTS RELATING TO LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS.
THE ORAL EXAMINATION INCLUDES A DISCUSSION OF ONE OF THE LABORATORY REPORTS IN RELATION TO OTHER TOPICS OF THE PROGRAM, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES DETAILED IN THE DEDICATED SECTION. STUDENTS HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE UNDERSTANDING OF SELECTED TOPICS AND ADEQUATE LANGUAGE SKILLS.
THE MINIMUM EVALUATION (18/30) INDICATES JUST SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF INORGANIC AND METALLORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND/OR UNCERTAINTIES IN SOME OF THE DISCUSSED TOPICS. THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION (30/30) INDICATES THE DEEPENED KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE ADDRESSED TOPICS AND EXCELLENT LANGUAGE SKILLS.
A “LAUDE” IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT IS ABLE TO DEAL WITH UNUSUAL PROBLEMS (OR PROBLEMS NOT EXPRESSLY COVERED DURING THE LESSONS) AMONG THOSE DISCUSSED DURING THE ORAL EXAMINATION.
