Coordination and organic chemistry

This teaching unit is dedicated to the deepening of the bases of organic chemistry and coordination chemistry seen in L3 and to the acquisition of notions related to molecular engineering and molecular chemistry. The UE includes lectures and tutorials. The students will work before some lectures and tutorials with course documents provided so that the lectures and tutorials can allow them to be fully involved in the training, to understand the concepts presented and the skills to be acquired. The progression program and activities will be proposed. For those students who have not seen the basics of coordination chemistry and organic chemistry, the documents will be made available.

Coordination chemistry: The teaching will cover the different aspects of transition metal and lanthanide complexes, molecular materials (polynuclear complexes and coordination polymers with extended structures (MOFs, etc.)) and their properties and applications. Structural aspects, bonding description, properties, as well as stability and reactivity aspects will be discussed. Emphasis will be put on the complexation effect and on the stability of metal, lanthanide and actinide complexes with certain ligands for applications in the biomedical field (imaging and therapy), decontamination (nuclear field), etc. The electronic (relaxivity, magnetism) and optical (absorption, luminescence) properties of these complexes will be discussed and put in the context of applications in various fields, such as imaging, electronics, sensors, etc.

Organic Chemistry: The teaching is based on the knowledge acquired in the Bachelor's degree and will approach through a reasoned study the main reaction mechanisms of organic chemistry and will allow to give a common base to all the students of the Master Chemistry. The main processes (substitution, addition, elimination, transposition...) and their essential characteristics and applications to mechanistic sequences will be examined. This course should provide the student with general tools for the analysis of mechanisms (ionic, radical, concerted) in order to understand these mechanisms in their variety.

The objectives of this course are to provide the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in organic and coordination chemistry that are essential for students in the Master's degree in Chemistry, regardless of their chosen path:

- To know and master the modern concepts of coordination chemistry: to know how to write formulas, to know how to discuss the structural aspects of coordination compounds (mononuclear, polynuclear complexes and molecular materials), to know how to describe the bonding and interpret the electronic properties (magnetic, optical, insertion), to know the concept of stability of complexes from the thermodynamic point of view and their reactivity. To know the main applications of coordination complexes and molecular materials.

- Know and master the main reaction mechanisms in molecular and organic chemistry: know how to write the mechanisms and give the geometry of the reaction intermediates, analyze a reaction mechanism.
