Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Most elements in the periodic table are metals, and molecules containing metals are fundamentally all metal complexes. Even if the types of elements or the structures of the complexes differ, learning an integrated theoretical framework allows us to predict spectroscopic and magnetic properties of unknown compounds, contributing to the design of advanced materials.

This lecture focuses primarily on transition metal complexes among metal complexes. The goal is to understand the fundamental theories of metal complexes and to be able to explain the relationship between their theoretical principles and the properties and functions they exhibit.
