- Chelate effect, a central concept in coordination and supramolecular chemistry
- Applications to supramolecular recognition of cations
- Inertia and lability, essential kinetic notions for understanding complexes reactivity
- Synthesis of complex dedicated ligands: crown-ethers, Schiff bases, polypyridine, ...
III. Electronic structure of metal complexes
- Counting electrons in complexes: the Green's method
- 16/18 electrons rule
- Reactions implying metal complexes
- Application to homogeneous catalysis
- From crystal field to ligand field
- Construction of Molecular Orbitals diagrams of octahedral metal complexes
- Insight into spectroscopic series
IV. Optical properties of metal complexes
- Spectroscopic terms of metal complexes including lanthanide complexes
- Electronic spectroscopy of metal complexes
- Emission of light by metal complexes
V. Magnetic properties of monometallic complexes
- Origins of the magnetic properties of metal complexes
- Magnetic susceptibility
- From Van Vleck equation to Curie law

Article Analysis
Every student will study and present an article dealing with an application strongly related to the contents of the lecture.
Practical teachings:
Four topics of the lectures will be illustrated during four hours experimental work sessions:
- Synthesis and study of the luminescent properties of lanthanide complexes
- Biomimetic model of molybdic oxo-tranferase enzyme
- Synthesis and properties of a iron(II) spin Cross-Over compound [1]
- Syntheis and study of a mixed-valence compound
To anticipate the Lab work, the practical work is written by each student in a dedicated Labwork notebook [2].
