CHEM 4610 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

This course covers a broad range of topics of Inorganic Chemistry. Molecular symmetry and group theory is used a foundation in further studying bonding in complex compounds, their structure and spectral characteristics. Kinetics and mechanisms in coordination chemistry is introduced, along with aspects of crystallinne solid state and organometallic, bioinorganic and environmental chemistry. The laboratory section, complementary to the lecture, is focused mostly on carrying out synthetic experiments, and emphasizes physical and analytical methods. Experiments follow very closly some of the concepts taught, such as aspects of isomerism of coordination coplexes, crystallinne soid state and spectral characterization. Students will be charged an additional Chemistry Lab Fee when enrolling in this course. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3200 AND CHEM 2580 OR (CHEM 2520 AND CHEM 0520)
