Inorganic Chemistry II ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This second study in the two-term course sequence of modern inorganic chemistry focuses on the d-block metals. Topics include characteristic physical and chemical properties and reactivity of metals, their coordination chemistry, isomerism, valence bond model and molecular orbital theories, crystal field stabilization, electronic absorption and emission spectra, and magnetic properties. The discussion of general principles is followed by a systematic consideration of the d-block metals, their physical properties, chemistry of their inorganic, coordination, and organometallic compounds, and the importance of these inorganic and organometallic compounds in industry, catalysis, materials, nanotechnology, and biological processes. Prerequisite (must complete before registering): Inorganic Chemistry I ( CHEM 4200 )
