CHEM 3105L Inorganic Synthesis 0-3-1.
Corequisite: CHEM 3100 or 3120.
Laboratory course to introduce the concepts and practices of inorganic synthetic chemistry.
Emphasis is on the synthesis, characterization, reactivity, structure, and other properties
of the inorganic compounds and complexes. The course introduces standard methodology
for the synthesis and characterization of known compounds. Team research projects
then incorporate the same methods for the synthesis and characterization of new compounds
yet to be reported in the literature.
