Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

Catalog description

Learn how basic concepts in inorganic chemistry can be applied to materials of all dimensionalities. Specific topics will include: symmetry (group theory), bonding models (crystal field theory, valence bond theory, molecular orbital theory, and the Bloch theorem) and electronic structure, and properties/reactivity of molecules and extended solids. Prerequisites: CHEM 151 and either CHEM 173 or CHEM 171 for students who took CHEM 171 in Spring 2021 or later.
