Chemistry 453: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Lecture = 10:00 MWF, SGM 121, Discussion section = 12:00 F, SGM 121 Prof.: Mark Thompson, TA: Ken Hanson Chem. 453 is an advanced course in Inorganic Chemistry. The intent of this course is to give you a comprehensive picture of Inorganic chemistry. The course will start with a general discussion of periodic trends and the periodic table. Ligand types and very simple bonding pictures will be presented as a precursor to standard classification schemes for metal complexes. The goal is to be able to determine a priori if a given complex is apt to be stable. We will then develop a detailed picture of structure and bonding, with emphasis on a molecular orbital picture of bonding. We will discuss both traditional inorganic complexes as well as organometallics. We will also discuss the structure and bonding of solid state materials. We will finish the course with a discussion of mechanistic chemistry, covering substitution, organometallic and electron transfer reactions.

A letter of verification for approved accommodations can be obtained from DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to me (or to TA) as early in the semester as possible. DSP is located in STU 301 and is open 8:30 a.m.– 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The phone number for DSP is (213) 740-0776. Statement on Academic Integrity USC seeks to maintain an optimal learning environment. General principles of academic honesty include the concept of respect for the intellectual property of others, the expectation that individual work will be submitted unless otherwise allowed by an instructor, and the obligations both to protect one’s own academic work from misuse by others as well as to avoid using another’s work as one’s own. All students are expected to understand and abide by these principles. Scampus, the Student Guidebook, contains the Student Conduct Code in Section 11.00, while the recommended sanctions are located in Appendix A: http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/SCAMPUS/gov/. Students will be referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards for further review, should there be any suspicion of academic dishonesty. The Review process can be found at: http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/SJACS/.
