CHEM 3172 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
Course Description
This course is the result of a major revision of the advanced programme being offered in the Department of Chemistry and is an essential component for students who are likely to either pursue the single Chemistry discipline for their Bachelor’s Degree or to cover the special topics offered within in preparation for graduate study and research. The course builds on the knowledge base and experiences of the student who has successfully completed core Level II inorganic chemistry. The course content is therefore specialized in depth rather than diversity, and heavily biased toward topics which cover areas of active research in the department. It is intended that students who complete this course will be well exposed to and competent in the usage of common methodologies for the characterization and study of metal complexes, with a good grasp of the principles, limitations, calculations and derivations that apply in each general case.
