SLiThErs - Supporting Learning with Interactive Teaching: a Hosted, Engaging Roundtable

A collection of all of the IONiC VIPEr SLiThErs (Supporting Learning with Interactive Teaching: a Hosted, Engaging Roundtable). These events are short presentations on a topic followed by a period of discussion between the presenter and live participants. Each of these events is recorded and posted to the IONiC VIPEr YouTube Channel.

Background Slides for CURE Project Spring 2025

Submitted by Kyle Grice / DePaul University on Wed, 04/29/2026 - 15:32
Description

This is a slide deck I use to introduce the CURE the first day of Inorganic Lab. I have posted the syllabus for this class as an LO as well, and will combine the materials from this CURE in a collection. The CURE was carried out in SQ24 and SQ25 quarters, in collaboration with Madalyn Radlauer, Byran Nell, and David Quist. We have a ACS Symposium Series Chapter on it that will be published in 2026, and I will link the chapter here once it is published. 

Intermediate Inorganic Laboratory with CURE SQ2025
Description

In this lab we have two standard introduction labs (LUM and POR) and then a full CURE. This was the second time I ran this CURE (the first was Spring 2024).

The CURE is being published as a multi-institution ACS Symposium Series Chapter in 2026, and the materials from the CURE will be hosted in a collection on VIPEr. 

Once the chapter is published, I will add the link to it in the description.

Catalytic dechlorination of PVC

Submitted by Chip Nataro / Lafayette College on Wed, 07/24/2024 - 08:18
Description

This LO was inspired by a talk that Megan Fieser gave at the 2024 Organometallic Chemistry Gordon Research Conference. It was an excellent talk with some really interesting chemistry. Wanting something with practical application for my class focused on organometallic chemistry, I looked at one of her 'older' papers and found this really interesting rhodium catalyst. In the main paper for this LO (Mater. Horiz. 2023, 10, 2047), the catalytic dechlorination of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) using a rhodium pincer complex is described.

Visible Light-Absorbing Ruthenium Complexes: Choosing a Final Project in Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory from Two Real-World Applications

Submitted by Dr. Robert Perkins / Saint Louis University on Tue, 02/27/2024 - 11:13
Description

Laboratory Project Summary:

Students in an upper level Inorganic Chemistry lab course are given a choice between two final lab projects.  Both projects involve the synthesis of visible light-absorbing ruthenium complexes, however the subsequent application of these complexes correspond to different subfields within inorganic chemistry.  This feature allows them to pursue a project that continues to develop their synthetic, data-analysis, and writing skills while pursuing one that most closely aligns with their interests.

Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory

Submitted by Cody Webb Jr / SUNY Oneonta on Wed, 06/14/2023 - 02:02
Description

Students perform weekly laboratory experiments to explore and apply concepts covered in the lecture
component of the course.

Inorganic Chemistry I

Submitted by Cody Webb Jr / SUNY Oneonta on Wed, 06/14/2023 - 01:57
Description

This course focuses on the chemistry of the elements, including electronic structure, bonding and
molecular structure, ionic solids, coordination compounds, the origins of the elements, and the descriptive
chemistry of the elements. Topics also include inorganic synthesis, materials science, industrial chemistry,
and an introduction to bioinorganic chemistry.
