This module will explore the application of various spectroscopic techniques (e.g. absorption, emission, CD, K- and L-edge excitations) to transition metal metal complexes.

Intended learning outcomes

Students completing this subject should be able to:



  • Show an increased knowledge and understanding of the electronic structure of Metal Complexes
  • Show an increrased knowledge and understanding of various spectroscopic techniques for the elucidation of the electronic structure of metal complexes (absorption, emission, vibronic structure, CD, MCD)
  • application of symmetry to the interpretation of various spectroscopic techniques in order to determine the structure of, for example, metal complexes.
