Course objectiveThe aim of this course is to teach the basic concepts of inorganic reaction mechanism and effects on the substitution reactions. On the basis of inorganic reaction mechanism concepts and models thought during the course, the students will learn the importance of the substitution reaction in the coordination chemistry and apply their knowledge to various mechanistic methods. 
Learning outcomes
  1. The students who complete this course, Achieve fundamental knowledge about the replacement reactions at tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral complexes. Kinetics of reaction and mechanism.
  2. Acquire the ability to interpret about the synthesis of coordination compounds by substitution reactions.
  3. Relate between reaction kinetics and mechanism of these complexes
  4. Apply and solve the problems by using the knowledge gained at the end of this course during their gradaute studies.
Course ContentBasic concepts, Stability and inertness, Energy profiles, Replacement reactions at tetrahedral and square planar, Kinetics of reaction and mechanism, Effects of some factors on the Substitution reaction, ? bonding concept, ? bonding concept, Substitution reactions of octahedral complexes, Synthesis of coordination compounds by substitution reactions, Thermodynamic stability of coordination compounds
