Inorganic Chemistry

Catalog description

Structure and bonding in main group and transition metal coordination compounds with an accompanying discussion of the electronic structure of the d-orbitals, group theory, and descriptive chemistry of the elements. The laboratory portion includes experiments examining the nature of bonding in transition metal complexes, the spectrochemical series, spectroscopic properties of coordination compounds, ligating ability of ligands, acid/base models, and catalysis.
