120 credits with 60 credits in chemistry including 15 credits in organic chemistry. 5 credits at Master's level. Participation in Organic Chemistry III or Organic Reaction Principles. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
The theory of structure, bonding and reactivity of transition metal compounds. This includes different types of ligands and their bonding modes, ligand substitutions and reactivity, and their roles in fundamental organometallic reactions important for catalysis, such as oxidative addition, reductive elimination, insertions and beta-hydride elimination. Various important reactions catalysed by transition metal complexes will be discussed. The courses Coordination and Organometallic Chemistry and Modern Methods in Organic Chemistry are scheduled to be taken together.
