Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
An introduction to the chemistry of the elements, this course places emphasis on the classification of the properties and reactivity of the elements by chemical periodicity, structure, and bonding. Topics in modern inorganic chemistry to be covered include coordination chemistry of the transition metals, organometallic chemistry, and bioinorganic chemistry. Laboratory work includes synthetic and instrumental techniques that apply to inorganic and organometallic chemistry. Prerequisites: Chemistry 201-202 and either Chemistry 301 or Chemistry 411.
