Course overview and goals
The lecture will focus on the basic knowledge and theoretical background to understand the functions of compounds related to transition metal complexes. The lecture also introduces the state-of-the-art research in the field of complex chemistry. The aim of the lecture is to provide students with basic knowledge of complex chemistry and the latest developments in complex chemistry, and to give them a broad insight into complex chemistry.
Course description and aims
To gain a systematic understanding of the functions of transition metal complexes. In addition, by acquiring knowledge of cutting-edge research using metal complexes, students will deepen their insight into related fields.
