Chemistry 254: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (New Course)
Prof. Theodore Betley

Application of group theory towards understanding reactivity patterns in transition element chemistry with an emphasis on synthesis, structure, bonding, and reaction mechanisms. Advanced problems of interest to inorganic chemistry will be discussed in the context of catalysis, organometallics, and bioinorganic processes.

Primarily for Undergraduates

Because of the sequence of prerequisites for chemistry courses, the Department strongly recommends some work in mathematics as well as chemistry in the first year. Freshmen contemplating this program are urged to consult a member of the Chemistry Department in planning their work for the first year. Advice may be obtained in the Co-Director of Undergraduate Studies’ Office, Science Center 114.
