610-345 Inorganic Chemistry Practical III

610-240 or (610-241 and 610-245) (1998: (610-240 or 610-241) and 610-245). Concurrent enrolment in 610-341 is strongly recommended.

Upon completion of 610-345 students should have developed time and resource management skills; skills to synthesise a range of inorganic molecules; knowledge of the application and interpretation of a range of spectroscopic and physical techniques; and experience in reporting the results of an experimental study.

The course will consist of a number of experiments involving the synthesis and/or chemical and/or instrumental investigations of important classes of main group and transition metal coordination and organometallic compounds.

Practical work will be continuously assessed in the form of short reports.
