Adv Inorganic Chem Laboratory

Prerequisite: CHEM 242 with a minimum grade of "C-"; or CHEM 444 with a minimum grade of "C-", which may be taken concurrently Key concepts in inorganic chemistry are explored through the synthesis and characterizations of variety of inorganic compounds with an emphasis on organometallic and coordination complexes. Modern synthetic methods, including inert atmosphere techniques, will be used to prepare target compounds. The resulting compounds will be characterized and examined using a wide array of analytical and spectroscopic techniques such as IR, Raman, UV-Vis, fluorescence, electrochemistry and NMR. Offered spring semester.
