Microscale Inorganic Chemistry. Other resources as needed. To develop competence in structure and bonding, coordination chemistry, solid state chemistry, organometallic chemistry, the chemistry of selected elements, and bioinorganic chemistry, especially that related to metal centered materials such as proteins and coenzymes. As such, there will be significant writing in chemistry as a structured part of this class.
Key concept is the peer review of a polished draft of each report.
Professional ethics topics. Review of the current literature. Summary and interpretation of recent articles in the inorganic arena. This semester, Advanced Inorganic will serve as a pilot program for the introduction of Professional Ethics in the Curriculum at Viterbo College. Knowledge of the Chemist s Code will be tested on each exam as well.
