Physical Methods in Inorganic Chemistry
Instructor(s): Patrick L. HollandPrerequisites: CHM 211/411 or a course in inorganic chemistry. CHM 422 is strongly recommended.
Crosslisting: None.
Course Summary:
Molecular and electronic structure determination of inorganic compounds and metal complexes; spectroscopic and physical methods that are used in inorganic chemistry. The main focus will be practical rather than theoretical. The course will culminate in a project that combines techniques to answer questions about coordination complexes.
