CHEM 612 Inorganic Chemistry: Structure and Reactivity

Study of structural aspects of modern chemistry based bond and molecular orbital theories. Group theoretical principles are used to understand structural and spectroscopic properties of molecules. Topics include: Walsh diagrams, projection operators, ligand field theory, angular overlap model, and symmetry controlled reactions. Examples are taken from representative and transition metal compounds.
