Chapter 7 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Alkenes and Alkynes
this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal pi-bonds, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.
Chapter 6 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Alkyls
this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal alkyls, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.
everyone is more than welcome to edit the materials to suit their own uses, and I would appreciate being notified of any mistakes that are found.
Chapter 5 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Hydrides
this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal phosphines, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.

The article “Synthesis and Reactivity of Oxorhenium(V) Methyl, Benzyl, and Phenyl Complexes with CO; Implications for a Unique Mechanism for Migratory Insertion,” Robbins, LK; Lilly, CP; Smeltz, JL; Boyle, PD; Ison, EA;, Organometallics 2015, 34, 3152-3158 is an interesting read for students studying reaction mechanisms of organometallic complexes. The reading guide directs students to the sections of the paper that support the question posed in the Discussion Questions document.
In-class exercise that helps students learn how to use structural data and other experimental methods to assign structure. Using chemical intuition, students will rationalize the structures of metal complexes that differ by protonation states.
In this literature discussion, students read an Inorganic Chemistry paper (doi: 10.1021/ic503062w) about diarylamido-based PNZ pincer ligands and their Ni, Pd, and Rh complexes. Specifically, this paper uses IR and E1/2 potentials to demonstrate that the redox events occur not on the metal center but on the pincer ligands.
This is a question based approach for a discovery activity about cyclic voltammetry. The slider bar on a movie can used to control a variable and the displayed graph is updated to show the results. (You could also just play the movie to get an idea of what changes.)
The questions to be answered are
What is the shape of a cyclic voltammogram?
How are cyclic voltammograms affected by E0?
How are cyclic voltammograms affected by concentration?
How are redox equilibria affected by scan rate?
What if there are two reductions?
This experiment explores isotopic substitution as a method to identify stretching frequencies and linking experimentally determined parameters with theoretical predictions utilizing a simple harmonic oscillator obeying Hooke’s law.
