Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Lab

Catalog description

This lab is a synthetic inorganic lab with an emphasis placed on characterization. In the laboratory, students will have the opportunity to synthesize, characterize, and investigate the physical and reactive properties of coordination, organometallic, and air-sensitive complexes. Students will utilize the following instrumental methods to characterize their compounds: UV-Visible spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, polarimetry, infrared spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy. Students write formal laboratory reports for every experiment.
