Inorganic Chemistry: Structure and Bonding in Main Group Chemistry

3.00 credits · Undergraduate

Prereq: CHEM 2311; CHEM 3321; or permission of the Department This course explores modern approaches to describing bonding in main group compounds with novel and unusual structures. Classes of compounds discussed include electron-deficient clusters, inorganic rings and polymers, and low coordinate main group centres. It also considers synthetic approaches, spectroscopic analysis, and industrial applications of these materials (Format: Lecture 3 Hours) (Exclusion: CHEM 3361)
