5-ish Slides About Bridging Hydrides and the [Cr(CO)5HCr(CO)5] anion

Submitted by Kyle Grice, DePaul University
Description: 

This set of slides was made for my Organometallics class based on questions about bridging hydrides and specifically the chromium molecule. I decided to make these slides to answer the questions, and do a DFT calc to show the MO's involved in bonding of the hydride. 

 

Topics Covered: 
Bonding models: Discrete molecules
Chemical literature
Computer modeling
Coordination chemistry
Electronic structure
Organometallic chemistry
Symmetry
Visualization

5-ish Slides about Enemark-Feltham Notation

Submitted by Kyle Grice, DePaul University
Description: 

This is a basic introduction to Enemark-Feltham that can be used in conjunction with any literature that has Iron nitrosyls in it. I made this as a follow up to the work that came ouf of the 2018 VIPEr workshop in UM-Dearborn.

General Chemistry Collection for New Faculty

Submitted by Kari Stone, Benedictine University

VIPEr to the rescue!

The first year as a faculty member is extremely stressful and getting through each class day to day is a challenge. This collection was developed with new faculty teaching general chemistry in mind pulling together resources on the VIPEr site to refer back to as the semester drags along. There are some nice in-class activities, lab experiments, literature discussions, and problem sets for use in the general chemistry course. There are also some nice videos and graphics that could be used to spark interest in your students.

Subdiscipline: 
Introductory Chemistry
Topics Covered: 
Acid-base chemistry
Bonding models: Discrete molecules
Chemical literature
Coordination chemistry
Periodic trends
Physical properties
Professional skills development
