CHEM 330 - Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

(3)

FA, alternate years. A fundamental study of the chemistry of all elements with emphases on periodicity, symmetry, bonding, and reactivity. Types of compounds discussed include ionic solids, cage compounds, organometallic compounds, coordination compounds, and bioinorganic compounds. Electronic and magnetic characteristics are studied in depth. A significant component of the course involves studying advances in inorganic chemistry from peer-reviewed literature. Prerequisite: CHEM 230, and CHEM 240 or CHEM 241. Corequisite: CHEM 330L. Students completing a BA in chemistry or biochemistry may elect to take this course without completing CHEM 330L. Not offered in 2022-23.
