Experimental Inorganic Chemistry

Harvard FAS

Chemistry 145 is a laboratory course designed to introduce students to inorganic laboratory synthesis, purification, and characterization techniques. Students will learn proper and safe techniques for handling and storing air, light, water-sensitive compounds, including the use of an inert-atmosphere glovebox and a Schlenk line. Synthesized compounds will be analyzed by various methods including infrared (IR), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), paramagnetic and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance…
