Annotation
This lecture is designated for advanced master degree and PhD students and focuses on the structures, bonding properties, reactivity patterns and selected applications of main group and transition metal organometallic compounds including organolanthanides and organoactinides. Attention is paid also to practically important catalytic processes in which organometallic compounds participate.
The lecture is provided in a standard presence form. In the case of restrictions imposed, it will be changed into online mode with the means chosen according to the preferences of the participants.
The examination is oral.
