Nicholas D. Ball (Section 01)
The structure, bonding, and symmetry of transition metal-containing molecules and inorganic solids are discussed. Structure and bonding in transition metal complexes are examined through molecular orbital and ligand field theories, with an emphasis on the magnetic, spectral, and thermodynamic properties of transition metal complexes. Reactions of transition metal complexes, including the unique chemistry of organometallic compounds, will be examined. The laboratory experiments complement lecture material and include a final independent project. Four hours of class and four hours of laboratory per week.
Requisite: CHEM 221 or consent of the instructor. Limited to 24 students. Fall semester. Professor Ball.
If Overenrolled: Preference given to Amherst College chemistry majors, others by class year.
Cost: $40.00 ?
