Mechanism of Inorganic Reactions

Course Description

Content:
General Introduction, kinetics and mechanism in reaction of complexes, classification of inorganic reactions, ion exchange reactions and electron transfer reactions.

Course Objectives & Outcomes
Objectives:

• Recognize the correct methods for the assumption of inorganic reaction mechanism,
• Understand the different mechanisms for octahedral and square planar complexes.
• Recognize the colours complexes of transition elements, magnetism, and the types of electronic transition,
• Recognize the different types of mechanism (substitution, electron transfer).

Outcomes:
At the end of this course, the student will be able to:

• Understand the relationship between the type of mechanism and geometric shape of complex.
• Compare between the different mechanisms for octahedral and square planar complexes.
•  Verify the validity of the proposed mechanism.
