4.0 credits

The purpose of this course is to familiarize you with the diverse and fascinating characterization techniques available today for determining the structures and properties of inorganic molecules and materials (e.g., X-ray techniques, EPR, NMR, Mössbauer, magnetic measurements). The utility and limitations of each technique will be emphasized using examples from recent chemistry literature. At the end of the course, each student should be able to identify the most favorable physical methods to analyze and properly describe a given inorganic molecule or material that they might encounter in their research projects.
