610-345 Inorganic Chemistry Practical III

Credit cannot be gained for this subject and 610-340 (Before 1999: 610-341).

610-240, or 610-241 plus 610-245 (1998: 610-245 plus 610-240 or 610-241). 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; experience in reporting the results of an experimental study; and a capacity to manage competing demands on time, including self-directed work.

The program 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.

Continuous assessment of practical work in the form of short reports.
