Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: The students are able to:
- explain modern principles of reactivity of main group molecular compounds, includ-ing their design and functions for bond activation and as catalysts,
- analyse and interpret principles of reactivity of f-elements, including differences to d- and p-block elements. Understand the general properties, creation of artificial el-ements, radioactivity,
- describe the principles of heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy, including the relation-ships between nuclear spin, magnetic dipole moment, Larmor frequency and Zeeman energy, and the estimation of signal intensity,
- demonstrate detailed knowledge of the (classical) coordination chemistry of the f-elements using different classes of ligands, including cyclopentadienyls, alkoxides, thiols and phenols, amides, phosphines, phosphides and N-heterocyclic carbenes,
- interpret advanced methods of NMR spectroscopy, including modern 2D methods, hyperpolarisation effects and solid-state NMR spectroscopy,
- analyse the effects and mechanisms of indirect spin-spin coupling in NMR spectros-copy,
- analyse reactivity principles using main group element multiple bonds, compounds with different coordination numbers as well as superbases, superacids and ambiphilic compounds,
- explain the principles and mechanisms of the nuclear Overhauser effect in NMR spectroscopy.
