Courses Typically Offered
- Fall
CHEM 2303 - Inorganic Chemistry
An introduction to atomic structure and bonding in inorganic compounds,
with the use of group theory and molecular symmetry, a brief introduction
to the coordination chemistry of the transition metals and related topics.
CHEM 3523 - Strcuture Determination
Investigation of molecular structure determination by modern methods. Special emphasis will be placed on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, supplemented by mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy for structure elucidation. X-ray crystallography is introduced.

- Winter
CHEM 3113 Quantum Chemistry
Principles of theoretical chemistry. The fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics are developed and applied to chemical bonding and molecular spectroscopy. Basics of modern computational chemistry are introduced to study the geometry, energy and spectroscopy of molecules. This course is normally offered every other year.
CHEM 3303 - Main Group Chemistry
A survey of the chemistry and bonding of the main group elements, including compounds with unusual bonding environments. Computational chemistry is introduced as a tool for understanding chemical bonding. This course is normally offered every other year.
CHEM 3313 - Transition Metal Chemistry
A survey of the chemistry and bonding of the transition metals, including organometallic chemistry and inroganic compounds of biological interest. This course is normally offered every other year.
