The laboratories are focused on intensive research in the field of the diploma thesis of a given master's student. It is therefore mainly the preparation of original (not yet published) compounds in the required purity and quantity, which are directly related to the topic of the thesis. The prepared compounds are characterized in detail using available experimental techniques (including NMR, IR, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy, MS spectrometry and diffraction techniques). Analysis and interpretation of the obtained experimental data with respect to the description of the structure and relevant chemical-physical properties of the studied compounds. Elaboration of a detailed final report on their research activities during the solution of the diploma thesis within the subject, which will be presented in the form of a lecture in front of colleagues and other staff of the department. This lecture will be subjected to a careful critical discussion not only with regard to the achieved results, their verification (support) by experimental techniques and the relevance of the conclusions drawn, but also with regard to the formal side of the lecture. Week 1: Introduction to health and safety + fire regulations. Week 1-12: Synthesis work in accordance with the specific topic of the student's diploma thesis selected on the basis of previous research. Furthermore, characterization of the obtained products by available experimental techniques. Typical areas of research include low-valent compounds of non-transition elements of group 13-15 of PS stabilized with C, N-, or N, N-chelating ligands and transition metal complexes, especially containing aromatic (hetero) cyclic ligands, and the study of their chemical-physical properties. Week 13: Presentation of the final report in the form of a lecture and subsequent discussion on the topic.
