Inorganic Chemistry Chem 418 Syllabus, Winter 2011 Instructor: Professor Frank A. Gomez, Physical Science 809, x2368; [email protected] Office Hours: MW 10:40 a.m.-noon and by appointment. Text: Inorganic Chemistry by G. L. Miessler and D. A. Tarr (3rd Edition, Prentice Hall, 2004). Prerequisites: Chem 318 Grading: 2 Midterm Exams 4 Quizzes @ 25 points each 1 Oral Presentation 2 Homework @ 25 per Final Exam Total points 200 100 50 50 200 500 A weekly quiz will be given the total points equating to 100. At the end of the quarter the lowest score of the two midterms and the quizzes will be dropped. Description: This course is a continuation of Chem 318 with attention given to the transition elements. Topics will include the structural, electronic, and reactivity properties including catalysis, of transition element compounds, selected topics in organometallic chemistry, and bioinorganic chemistry. Learning Outcomes: 1. Understand the structure, bonding and chemistry (including reactions and mechanisms) of coordination compounds. 2. Understand the structure, bonding and chemistry (including reactions and catalysis) of organometallic complexes. 3. Understand the structure and bonding of cluster complexes. 4. Understand the role inorganic compounds have in biological action. Exam Schedule: Final Exam: Wednesday, March 16, 8:00 a.m. Make-up exams will not be given. Notes: 1. The lectures serve as the core material. 2. This course will entail use of the chemical literature. 3. Problem sets may be solved independently or collaboratively. I urge you to work in small groups (two or three) and to submit homework as such. Many essay-type problems will be assigned in homework, as well as in test problems, and learning to write, scientifically, is both important and different from other disciplines. In other words, I will grade both content and grammar on homework; on tests I will be more lenient. 4. Homework assignments will include a library search-type problem from the chemical literature. Only selected problems will be graded. 5. Take advantage of my office hours. 6. Expect to spend about 2-3 hours at home working for every lecture to attain a level of understanding required to pass this course with a good grade. 1 References: Basic Inorganic Chemistry by F. A.
