Prerequisites: Chem 350.

Catalog Description: Fall. Credit, one hour. Prerequisite/corequisite: Chemistry 350. Experimental techniques commonly used in synthetic inorganic research laboratories.

Semester Details:

Content: An introduction to experimental techniques commonly used in synthetic Inorganic Chemistry research labs. Synthesis in Coordination chemistry, Cluster chemistry and nano-materials will be highlighted, along with the manipulation of air-sensitive compounds. Emphasis will be placed on crystal growth. The lab also includes an introduction to physical techniques used to characterize the compounds synthesized. These include hands on measurements in electrochemistry, magnetism, UV-VIS spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy.  Crystallography will be used extensively to characterize materials.

Particulars: Chemistry 350 and 355L are both required for a chemistry major certified by the American Chemical Society.
