FHEQ Level 5
Module learning outcomes
Appreciate systematic trends and relationships between compounds of the transition metals, and an understanding of variations in behaviour within vertical groups.
Understand how ligand field effects influence spectroscopic and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes, and how these effects determine reactivity.
Understand the importance of metal-carbon bonds and how organic molecules coordinate to transition metals, including the importance of thermodynamic and kinetic stability.
Demonstrate knowledge of important reactivity types shown by organometallic compounds and its relevance to homogeneous catalysis.

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
