Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the lecture, students should learn about current trends in inorganic chemistry and possess knowledge of coordination chemistry of metals including transition metals, lanthanides and actinides also in the context of growing interest in metals in biology and medicine. In addition, they will learn about fabrication and properties of nanostructured inorganic and hybrid organic-inorganic materials.
