The Berry Pseudorotation in PF5
Description
This activity makes use of Jmol animations created by Prof. Marion Cass at Carleton College to illustrate the Berry Pseudorotation in trigonal bipyramidal molecules such as PF5. Students explore the animations and answer a series of questions that lead to a description of this intramolecular motion that exchanges equatorial and axial atoms in trigonal bipyramidal molecules.
Video explanations and practice problems of basic chemistry and math topics
Description
This is a website which links to a wide variety of good quality YouTube mini-lectures on basic topics in chemistry, mathematics, physics and a variety of other sciences. Each video is about 10 minutes long and many go through example problems slowly and completely.
Metals in Biological Systems - Who? How? and Why?
Description
This learning object was developed collaboratively by members of the IONiC Leadership Council. The overall goal is to provide a general overview of metals in biological systems and introduce students to several of the important ideas in the field of bioinorganic chemistry. Topics include toxic metals, metals used in biological systems and the overlap of these categories; issues associated with the uptake, transport and storage of metal ions; and the benefits gained by using metals in biological molecules.
Dinitrogen activation with "Side-on" N2 complexes
Description
This
powerpoint
presentation was created as part of the requirements for
Chemistry 165 "Organometallics" at Harvey Mudd College during the fall
semester 2009. The authors of this presentation are Kristine Fong, Eric Nacsa and Tarun Narayan, all from Harvey Mudd College. The
activity
consists of three items: a powerpoint presentation, a script that goes
along with the presentation, and a literature review (annotated
bibliography) for further reading.
Energy Nuggets: Wise Energy Use – The Challenge of Nitrogen Fixation
Description
This literature discussion activity is one of a series of “Energy Nuggets,” small curricular units designed to illustrate: The Role of Inorganic Chemistry in the Global Challenge for Clean Energy Production, Storage, and Use.
IR Spectroscopy of Rhodium Carbonyl Clusters
Description
The structures of neutral rhodium carbonyl clusters containing two, four, and six rhodium atoms have been known for some time. In a recent paper (J. Am. Chem.
Angular Overlap Model Spreadsheet
Description
This spreadsheet allows students to build complexes of a variety of geometries and to then use the angular overlap model to explore d-orbital energies when interacting with ligands whose esigma and epi energies can be varied.

Inorganic Challenges
Description
The Interactive Inorganic Challenge Forum is a resource for inorganic chemistry teachers who want to incorporate team learning questions (“Challenges”) into an upper level undergraduate inorganic course. Through this site, teachers can exchange their ideas with others who have used inorganic chemistry Challenges. As a result, students benefit from field-tested group questions.
