Overview
Selected topics in inorganic and structural chemistry that may include supramolecular chemistry, magnetically-interesting complexes, light-harvesting complexes, nanochemistry, solid state and porous materials, advanced crystallography.
CHEM 463 consists of three 6.67-point modules, which may vary from year to year. Modules offered may include:
- Laser spectroscopy of inorganic systems
- Carbon-rich chemistry and materials
- Supramolecular chemistry: metallosupramolecular and mechanically-interlocked architectures, synthesis and applications
- Magnetically interesting complexese
- Biogeochemical cycles
