Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry
Description
Inorganic chemistry is a branch of synthetic chemistry typified by its focus on compounds composed of elements other than carbon and hydrogen. But don’t let that fool you!
Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
Description
A one-semester study of advanced topics in inorganic chemistry with emphasis on structure and bonding, transition metal chemistry, organometallic and solid-state chemistry.
Photochemical Reactions of Copper (II) Carboxylate Artist Pigments
Description
This literature discussion shows how serious inorganic chemistry topics can related to cultural heritage problems. The paper is pretty dense in EPR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, but the questions don't go in super great depth on those topics instead focusing on the problem, the main findings, structures and the experiment design, with some additional questions about the spectroscopy.
Inorganic Chemistry
Description
This course will emphasize the fundamental concepts needed to understand the diverse chemistry of all the elements of the periodic table. The common theme for the entire course will be Structure and Bonding. The primary focus will be inorganic molecules, ions and solids, but the concepts we will discuss are applicable to all aspects of chemistry. The first two-thirds of the course will cover theories of bonding in molecules and solids along with some background in symmetry and structure.
SLiThEr #18: Dr. Strangebook or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Libretext
Description
On March 25, 2021, Chip Nataro of Lafayette College presented the 18th SLiThEr ((Supporting Learning with Interactive Teaching: a Hosted, Engaging Roundtable). The topic was on the adoption of a Libretext for use in a foundational inorganic chemistry course.
Bonding in electron-rich uranyl complexes (Burns)
Description
This In-Class Activity Learning Object explores a series of uranyl, UO
Effect of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding on Cupric Superoxide Complexes (Karlin)
Description
This study guide/question set will help a student navigate through the related research paper and test the student's understanding on the effects of hydrogen bonding in synthetic Cu-O2 adducts in the realm of bioinorganic model chemistry.
Anion Coordination Chemistry (Bowman-James)
Description
Ligands can bind to anions, just as they do to metal ions, and Bowman-James developed these analogies as well as many examples of selective anion binding ligands. This short slide decks gives background to her work as well as some relevant introductory material.
An Atypical CuA Site in Methane-Oxidizing Bacteria: Structural and Spectroscopic Properties (Rosenzweig)
Description
This literature discussion highlights recent research from the Rosenzweig group that probes the structural and spectroscopic properties of a newly discovered, atypical CuA site located in a PmoD protein in a new class of methane-oxidizing bacteria.
