Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

3 credits · Graduate credit

The application of theoretical principles to understand the theoretical background of key optical and vibrational spectroscopic techniques. These include electronic absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), Mossbauer, and resonance Raman Spectroscopy. In addition, a brief introduction to magnetism and magnet susceptibility, and modern quantum-chemical calculations (in particular, density functional theory) is provided.
