CHEM 325 - Inorganic Chemistry

Unit(s): 3 Lecture: 3 hours

Atomic structure, symmetry, and group theory of small molecules and the relationship of these concepts to bonding theory and molecular spectroscopy. Applications of symmetry and group theory to coordination chemistry of transition metal complexes in organometallic, environmental, bioinorganic, and materials chemistry. Other topics include kinetics and reaction mechanisms of inorganic and organometallic compounds including electron transfer.

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 310B and CHEM 401, or concurrent enrollment.
