Organometallic
Photochemistry of transition metal complexes: LF transitions – photodecarbonylation – photodissociation – MLCT transitions – photooxidations – LMCT transitions – IL transitions.
Classification of reactions and reaction pathways of transition metal complexes: Redox reactions (inner sphere and outer sphere reactions – Marcus theory). Substitution reactions (dissociative (D), associative (A) and interchange (I) pathways of tetrahedral, square-planar and octahedral complexes trans-effect).
Carbonyl complexes: Structures syntheses. Reactions (thermal and photochemical decarbonylation disproportionation oxidative decarbonylation nucleophilic and electrophilic aditions).
Carbene complexes: Structures syntheses (Fischer-Type and Schrock-type carbene complexes). Reactions of Fischer-type carbene complexes (nucleophilic addition -cyclopropanation – Dötz-reaction – Synthesis gas chemistry – CO methanation Methanol synthesis). Reactions of Schrock-type carbene complexes (electrophilic additions Tebbe-reagent – olefin metathesis – ROMP).
Metallocenes.
Sandwich complexes with arene ligands.
