Inorganic Chemistry |
| Course Description: |
|
We want to make the students master the basic concepts of coordination chemistry, stereochemistry, the thermodynamic stability of complexes, the reaction kinetics of complexes and the major bonding theory (valence bond theory, crystal field theory, ligand field theory, and molecular orbital theory), the structure feature of non-classical complexes and their preparation. It is suitable for graduate student of chemistry. |
