CHEM 9860

Course Description

Research in this course is focused on synthetic and mechanistic organometallic and inorganic chemistry with a focus on homogeneous catalysis. Students prepare, isolate and characterize new classes of organometallic and inorganic complexes using multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The reactivity of these systems is studied, including stoichiometric and catalytic reactions, and
