ACADEMIC CONTENT | |
Overall objective |
The course is offered for a short period of time and only to students who have passed the Bachelor Course Applied Spectroscopy
|
Detailed description of content |
Knowledge and concepts about structures of and bonding and coordination in inorganic molecules and complexes is generated and developed based on elements position in the periodic table combined with quantum chemistry and physical-chemical models and theories. In the laboratory sessions these effects are illustrated, syntheses will be performed by the students and quantitative analysis are performed. For each experiment a report must be prepared and submitted. The report addresses questions and the analytical data obtained during the experiment. |

The Study Board will handle all evaluations along with any comments from the course responsible teacher. Furthermore, students can, in accordance with RUCs ‘feel free to state your views’ strategy through their representatives at the study board, send evaluations, comments or insights form the course to the study board during or after the course. |
Programme |
1) Four 4 hours lecture and problem solving sessions 2) One theoretical laboratory session 3) Three practical laboratory exercises which could be: Iron compounds in two oxidation states, Nickel(II) 1,2-ethanediamine complexes, Ion exchange separation of Chromium(III) complexes Inorganic Chemisty includes lectures and problem solving in the class and some regular lab exercises. Program will be available on moodle prior to the start of the course |
