Catalog description

Overview of systematic inorganic chemistry including main group, transition metal, lanthanide, and actinide chemistry. CHEM 516 Inorganic Chemistry (3) The purpose of this course is to provide a graduate level foundation in the field of inorganic chemistry and its relationship to other areas of science and technology. The emphasis will be on atomic and molecular structure, synthesis methods, and structure-property relationships in a way that will prepare students for studies in more specialized areas such as environmental chemistry, catalysis, materials science, and the biological fields. Opportunities will be provided to integrate the learning experience with the organization of information through writing assignments and class discussions.
