CHM338H1

Intermediate Inorganic Chemistry

Further study of the structures, physical properties, and reactions of transition metals. Introductions to spectroscopy, structural analysis, reaction mechanisms, d-block organometallic compounds, applications of metal, and main group compounds in catalysis. The weekly laboratory explores advanced synthetic and spectroscopic techniques including air- and moisture-sensitive chemistry and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, with a strong emphasis on developing scientific communication skills. (Lab Materials Fee: approximately $40).
