COURSE GOALS: The main objective of the course is to understand of importance of fundamental researches in the frame of selected topics as well as recognizing their application in industrial chemistry, organic synthesis, biochemistry, material chemistry and environmental chemistry.
LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME:
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
1.2. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the fundamental concepts in chemistry
1.4. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the most important chemistry laws and theories
1.5. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of basic experimental methods, instruments and methods of experimental data processing in physics and chemistry
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
2.2. describe important aspects of chemical change
2.4. recognize and follow the logic of arguments, evaluate the adequacy of arguments and construct well supported arguments
2.8. teach science contextually, i.e., provide examples from everyday life when teaching abstract concepts
3. MAKING JUDGMENTS
3.1. develop a critical scientific attitude towards research in general, and in particular by learning to critically evaluate arguments, assumptions, abstract concepts and data
3.5. demonstrate professional integrity and ethical behavior in work with pupils and colleagues
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS
4.2. clearly and concisely present complex ideas
4.4. use the written and oral English language communication skills that are essential for pursuing a career in physics, chemistry and education
5. LEARNING SKILLS
5.1. search for and use professional literature as well as any other sources of relevant information
5.2. remain informed of new developments and methods in physics, chemistry and education
5.3. develop a personal sense of responsibility for their professional advancement and development
LEARNING OUTCOMES SPECIFIC FOR THE COURSE:
Student will be able:
1. to integrate the fundamental professional knowledge in physics and chemistry into applied one,
2. to track by itself the development of the new knowledge in chemistry and offer professional opinion regarding their scope and potential implementation,
3. to critical scale the presumptions, concepts, data and results of the scientific investigations,
4. to demonstrate the professional integrity,
5. to introduce complex ideas clearly and concise,
6. to introduce the results of its own research on scientific and educational meetings,
7. to track by itself development of the new knowledge in chemistry and physics,
8. to take responsibility for its own competence advantage and professional growth.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
* Alkyls, aryls and metal hydrides and their application in organic synthesis.
* ?-Complexes (alkene, allyl, diene, cyclopentadienyl, arene complexes).
* Carbene and carbyne metal complexes (synthesis, structure, properties).
* Cluster compounds, metal-metal bond (structure, 18-electron rule, isolobal principle, synthesis).
* Industrially important processes catalyzed by transition metal complexes (hydroformilation of alkenes, alkene oxidation, synthesis of acetic acid, alkene metathesis, polymerization of ethylene and propylene).
* Properties of solids (structure defects, nonstoichiometric compounds, solid electrolytes, cooperative magnetism, superconductivity, glasses).
