Course description and aims

This course focuses on core knowledge about inorganic chemistry and analytically chemistry. This represents a detailed discussion of molecular absorption on solid surface, analytical methods for solid surface and bulk solids, crystal structures and solid state photoreaction of organometallic complexes, coordination compounds, and metal clusters. The aim of this course is to get students to gain core knowledge and basic skills in a comprehensive and systematic way on the basis of their undergraduate inorganic/analytical chemistry courses. The knowledge and skills acquired through this course will help students to study in their specialized fields.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain properties of inorganic compounds
2) Explain molecular structures and properties of organometallic complexes
3) Understand the structural characterization of solids by X-ray, electron and neutron diffraction
4) Understand photochemistry of coordination coupounds

Keywords

photochemical reaction, chemistry of catalysis, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, crystal chemistry

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course will be given in a omnibus form.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Course materials are provided during class.
