CHM1261:
Topics in Inorganic Chemistry
Introduction
Time:
Times and places change depending on the lecturer
Starts on: January 25th
Course Coordinator:
Prof. John Powell
Course Outline
Inorganic Chemistry faculty members will present current topics that span the breadth of the field Inorganic Chemistry: Materials, Main group, Transition Metal, Organometallic, Catalytic, Biological, and Physical. Each topic will be covered in two sets of two 50-min lectures. Either CHM1261HS or CHM1270HS "Frontiers in Inorganic Chemistry" is a required core course
for the Inorganic Chemistry program for students entering with a BSc. The topics of CHM1261 will be different from those of CHM1270 so that students can take both courses if they wish. Prerequisite: Comprehensive course(s) in Inorganic Chemistry at the undergraduate level.
