Course info

In this course students will learn key concepts in inorganic chemistry essential for future
studies in organometallic, supramolecular and materials chemistry. This will begin by discussing
molecular symmetry and its uses in vibrational spectroscopy and molecular orbital theory of simple
molecules. An introduction to coordination chemistry follows with a focus on crystal field and ligand
field theory. The course concludes with a description of the electronic spectroscopy and magnetism
of coordination compounds.
