CHEM 4100 - Inorganic Chemistry

(PBS-AS, PHS-AS)

Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: CHEM 2070 and CHEM 2080 or CHEM 2150.

K. Lancaster.

Discussion of chemical bonding and reactivity with an emphasis on the transition metals. A “ground up” approach will be taken, building bonding models from atomic electronic structure to molecular orbital theory. Course will also introduce concepts germane to solid state chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and organometallic catalysis.
