Course Description 1. Chemistry of d-block elements and coordination complexes:

Back ground of coordination chemistry and structure of coordination
complexes with coordination number 2-6, chelates and chelate effect,
theories of coordination complexes, crystal field theory (CFT) and
molecular orbital theory (MOT), Jahn-Teller theorem, magnetic
properties, spectral properties, isomerism, stereochemistry and stability
constants of coordination complexes.
Chemistry of f-block elements:
i. Lanthanides: General characteristics, occurrence, extraction and
general
principles of separation, electronic structure and position in the
periodic table, lanthanides contraction, oxidation states, spectral and
magnetic properties and uses.
ii. Actinides: General characteristics, electronic structure, oxidation state
and position in the periodic table, half-life and decay law.
Course Type: Elective Course
(Compulsory/Core/
Elective)
Pre-requisites Students must have knowledge of coordination chemistry and its use in
various fields.
Goals After completing this program students will be able to learn the
following:
1. The historical development of transition element chemistry
2. The importance and applications of the transition elements
3. To learn about coordination chemistry and various theories developed
to explain the structure and properties of these complexes
4. Chemistry of f block elements
