CHEM 411 - Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

This course examines how modern theories of chemical bonding are applied to an understanding of the chemistry of the elements of the periodic table. Students explore chemical structures, reactions and spectra on the basis of molecular symmetry and group theory. Topics covered include chemical periodicity, coordination compounds, and organometallic complexes.Three lectures and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 312 with a grade of C- or better, or permission of the instructor. Fall semester. (4 Credits)
