Chapter 7 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Alkenes and Alkynes
this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal pi-bonds, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.
Chapter 6 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Alkyls
this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal alkyls, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.
everyone is more than welcome to edit the materials to suit their own uses, and I would appreciate being notified of any mistakes that are found.
Chapter 5 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Hydrides
this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal phosphines, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.

Chapter 4 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Phosphines

This is a list of LOs created at the TUES workshop on Organometallics at the University of Michigan in Summer 2016 (and some friends from before the workshop too). I am planning to use all of these LOs this fall in my junior/senior level course on organometallic chemistry. I'll post comments on each LO I use.
The memebers of the Szymczak group created a collection of their learning objects from the TUES workshop at the University of Michigan in Summer 2016 to make them all easier to find.
This 5 slides about introduces the term "atom economy" as a means for undergraduates to start thinking about the efficiency of synthetic reactions. While this term may not be the best measure of the overall process of a reaction (as it ignores other factors such as solvents and materials used in purification), it provides a nice introduction to a concept on green chemistry. An example of an atom economic reaction, hydroamination, is briefly highlighted as it is an important ongoing research area. Notes for the instructor are included in the slides.
Based on the literature reference, this activity allows students to discover inner-sphere and outer-sphere catalytic hydrogenation mechanisms then apply their knowledge to hydroborylation. This is a guided-inquiry in-class activity that students can complete in small groups or individually with instructor support.
The article “Synthesis and Reactivity of Oxorhenium(V) Methyl, Benzyl, and Phenyl Complexes with CO; Implications for a Unique Mechanism for Migratory Insertion,” Robbins, LK; Lilly, CP; Smeltz, JL; Boyle, PD; Ison, EA;, Organometallics 2015, 34, 3152-3158 is an interesting read for students studying reaction mechanisms of organometallic complexes. The reading guide directs students to the sections of the paper that support the question posed in the Discussion Questions document.
