Structure and Bonding in Inorganic Chemistry

Catalog description

PREREQUISITES: CHMY 401 or CHMY 501 Students in this class will build on the foundations of inorganic chemistry covered in CHMY 401 /501. The focus will be on applying this foundational material to understanding modern frontiers of inorganic chemistry. We will focus largely on solid state and materials chemistry, d-transition metal organometallic chemistry, and the inorganic chemistry of biological systems. Students will gain additional exposure to physical techniques used in modern inorganic chemistry. Readings will come from both a textbook and the chemical literature.
