Course content
After identifying the basic goals of their research work, the student tries to confirm the initial proposals during the semester, or on the contrary to refute them with relevant experiments. With regard to the obtained results and their analysis, he then possibly adjusts the direction of his further experimental work. For the above tasks, students also learn to effectively use the available experimental techniques of the workplace (eg infrared, Raman, UV-Vis spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, etc.). After completing the course, the student should have a clear idea of the future experimental direction of their future thesis. The course is completed by elaborating a final report, which summarizes (in the range of about 5-7 pages) its obtained experimental results and draws conclusions with regard to the goals and intentions of his thesis and comments on their experimental feasibility. Week 1: Introduction to health and safety + fire regulations. Week 1-12: Synthesis work in the laboratory in accordance with the above intentions and characterization of the obtained products. Topics typically stem from the synthesis of N-coordinated derivatives of heavier -elements (Ga, In, Ge, Sn, Sb, Bi and Te) as well as transition metal complexes containing indenyl and other heterocyclic ligands. Week 13: Preparation and submission of the final report.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work
  • Preparation for a credit (assessment) - 30 hours per semester
  • Practical training - 210 hours per semester
  • Preparation for laboratory work and processing of results - 30 hours per semester
  • Individual project - 30 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is primarily to check the experimental feasibility of selected research projects and their applicability as topics for future diploma theses of students of the course. The specific topic is continuously updated according to the scientific direction of individual working groups.
Students will gain the experimental knowledge usable during their diploma work.
Prerequisites
unspecified
