DESCRIPTION

This unit rounds out students' basic theoretical and practical training in synthetic chemistry, with an emphasis on organometallic chemistry. Special effort is made to promote awareness of the increasing interactions between inorganic and organic chemistry that shape modern fundamental and applied synthetic chemistry in both academic and industrial situations. Topics include structure, reactivity and bonding in a variety of organometallic systems, and a selection of contemporary homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic reactions. The laboratory program reinforces concepts introduced in lectures and gives students experience in good laboratory practice through hands-on usage of techniques and instrumentation that are used in modern synthetic chemistry laboratories.

Students who would like to do this unit but have a timetable problem with lectures, tutorials or laboratory work should consult the unit coordinator.

KEY

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle, P Beauty Point. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Y Hong Kong.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, K, Q and Y click here for more information.
