CH 305 - Inorganic Chemistry

A broad study of many aspects of inorganic chemistry. The use of periodic trends and fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry is emphasized to analyze the chemistry of the elements. Other topics include group theory, molecular orbital theory, transition metal coordination chemistry, solid state chemistry, ligand field theory, and spectroscopy of inorganic and organometallic compounds. Applications of inorganic chemistry to catalysis, nanotechnology, biochemistry, and environmental chemistry are considered. The laboratory consists of the synthesis, purification, and characterization of inorganic and organometallic compounds.
