Qualification objectives |
Students master sophisticated preparative methods (high vacuum and inert gas techniques for the synthesis of air-sensitive compounds, reactions in unusual solvents such as SO2) and are familiar with the targeted synthesis of challenging inorganic molecular compounds. They know in-depth theoretical aspects of characterization methods (heteronuclear liquid NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, Raman IR, et cetera). Students are able to present and discuss scientific results correctly. |
| Content | The module covers methods of synthesis and complete characterization of inorganic coordination and molecular compounds. |
| Teaching and learning methods | The module comprises lecture (2 hours per week), seminar (2 hours per week), practical training (6 hours per week) and self-study. According to § 6 para. 7 of the Study Regulations, participation in the practical training is limited to a total of 20 participants only. |
| Prerequisites for partisipation | Basic knowledge of analytical chemistry and physical chemistry at the undergraduate level is required. Literature for preparation: E. Riedel, Moderne Anorganische Chemie, de Gruyter, 2003. H. Fribolin, Ein- und zweidimensionale NMR-Spektroskopie, Wiley-VCH, 2006. J. Rydberg, M. Cox, C. Musikas, G.R. Choppin, Eds., Solvent Extraction Principles and Practice, M. Dekker, New York, 2004. A. von Zelewsky, Stereochemistry of Coordination Compounds, Wiley-VCH, 1996. |
| Applicability | This module is one of 20 elective compulsory modules in the focus area Materials Chemistry of the Master’s degree program Chemistry, out of which modules comprising 20 to 30 credits are to be selected. In addition, the module is one of 14 elective compulsory modules in the focus area Practical Application in the Master's degree program Chemistry, out of which modules comprising 10 credits are to be selected. The module can only be selected once in the Master's degree program Chemistry. |
| Requirements for earning credit points | Credit points are earned after passing the module examination. The module examination consists of a written test lasting 90 minutes and a complex assessments equating to 50 hours, which must both be passed. The examination language is English. |
| Credit points and grades | Participants can earn five credit points for this module. The module grade is calculated from the unweighted average grade of the examined assessments. |
| Module frequency | The module is offered each winter semester. |
| Workload | The workload comprises a total of 300 hours. |
| Module duration | The module comprises one semester. |
Enrollment and additional information
The enrollment for the master course Chem-Ma-M18 is done via the Selma Portal and ends on the first day of the lecture. The first lecture will be mandatory for the participation, since the safety instruction is done in the first lecture.
