2. Pre-Requisites
It is recommended that you have completed and approved the subject of Inorganic Chemistry
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This subject is part of the subject Inorganic Compounds along with the subject Inorganic Chemistry of the Solid State that is taught in the second semester within the Modules of Chemistry.
The course is the basis for understanding inorganic compounds with molecular structures such as coordination compounds and organometallic compounds. These compounds are of special importance for the understanding of many catalytic processes of industrial interest where they act as catalysts such as olefin metathesis processes, hydrogenation of unsaturated substrates, carbonylation... In addition, the pharmaceutical industry and a molecule of special importance for living beings. Alive are compounds of this type such as hemoglobin, chlorophyll... This warns us of the importance of the subject for the formation of a Chemist, since most chemical reactions involve inorganic molecular compounds.

| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 70.00% | 80.00% | 70% corresponds to the exams carried out in the partial and final test, that is to say, to the qualification obtained in these tests. |
| Laboratory sessions | 20.00% | 20.00% | Continuous evaluation through the follow-up of the acquisition of practical knowledge (laboratory) and the evaluation of the notebook laboratory that will include the answers to different questions raised. Carrying out a test on the contents of the practices |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 10.00% | 0.00% | Resolution of practical cases in the classroom, which demonstrate the acquisition of competencies corresponding. It will be added to the first section. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The final qualification will be the result of a continuous evaluation through the follow-up of the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge that demonstrates the acquisition of the corresponding competences.
At the end of the first part of the subject (Chemistry of Coordination) there will be a progress test, which if passed (5 points or more) will serve as part of the final exam grade.
There will be seminars or problems that must be delivered to the teacher and will be solved in class.
The laboratory practices are mandatory and to pass the subject the final practical grade must be greater than or equal to 5 points out of 10. This grade is made up of the work in the laboratory and a theoretical test on the concepts worked on in the laboratory.
The final grade for the course will be calculated as a result of the following actions:
a) final exam (70% of the grade), b) practicals (laboratory) (20% of the grade) and c) resolution of practical cases (10% of the grade).
It will not be possible to pass the subject if the practices have not been carried out and approved and if the final exam is not passed. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Final numerical score from 0 to 10 depending on current legislation.
The final qualification will be the result of an evaluation that demonstrates the acquisition of the corresponding competences.
The laboratory practices are mandatory and to pass the subject the final practical grade must be greater than or equal to 5 points out of 10.
The final grade for the course will be calculated as a result of the following actions:
a) final exam (80% of the grade) and b) practicals (laboratory) (20% of the grade).
It will not be possible to pass the subject if the practices have not been carried out and approved and if the final exam is not passed.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The qualification will be the one obtained in the test of the extraordinary call where all the contents and competences acquired in the subject will be evaluated; theoretical part, problems, seminars and practices.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The qualification will be the one obtained in the test of the extraordinary call where all the contents and competences acquired in the subject will be evaluated; theoretical part, problems, seminars and practices.
