Advanced Inorganic Chem I

Catalog description

A survey of transition metal chemistry focusing on the structural and dynamic properties of transition metal complexes. The presentation begins with a discussion of ions and their environment followed by a description of the bonding theories for transition metal complexes. Electronic spectra, magnetism and reactivity of these molecules will be explained in terms of these bonding theories. Related topics of main group compounds, organometallic complexes and bioinorganic chemistry also will be covered.
