In honor of Professor Richard Andersen’s 75th birthday, a small group of IONiC leaders submitted a paper to a special issue of
In the primary literature, goemetry indices are being used quite often to describe four- and five-coordinate structures adopted by transition metal complexes. This slide deck, which is longer than the intended 5 slides, describes the three common geometry indices (tau4, tau4', and tau5) and provides example calculations for structures that are freely available in the Teaching Subset of the Cambridge Structural Database. (Students can access these structures in Mercury, which is freely available from the CCDC, or via a web request form for which the link is provided below.)
Chapter 21 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Polymerization
this chapter covers the history of polymerization reactions.
Unlike the vast majority of the chapters in this series, there are no powerpoint slides for this chapter.
Everyone is more than welcome to edit the materials to suit their own uses, and I would appreciate being notified of any mistakes that are found.
Chapter 20 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Metathesis
this chapter covers the history of metathesis reactions.
Unlike the vast majority of the chapters in this series, there are no powerpoint slides for this chapter.

Chapter 19 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Polymerization and Metathesis
this chapter covers polymerization catalysis and olefin metathesis.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I share these with students after the class, but not before.
