Organometallic Chemistry
Description
Study of the metal-carbon bond: synthesis, structure, bonding, reactivity, and catalysis.
The LOs used in this course are in a VIPEr Collection called "Chem 165 2018."

VIPEr Fellows 2019 Workshop Favorites
During our first fellows workshop, the first cohort of VIPEr fellows pulled together learning objects that they've used and liked or want to try the next time they teach their inorganic courses.
Encapsulation of Small Molecule Guests by a Self-Assembling Superstructure
Description
This literature discussion focuses upon two journal articles by the Rebek group on the synthesis and host-guest chemistry observed with the "tennis ball."
1,2,4-Triazine-picolinamide functionalized, nonadentate chelates for the segregation of lanthanides(III) and actinides(III) in biphasic systems
Description
A novel family of nonadentate ligands based on the (5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-picolinamide donor moiety has been synthesized from simple starting materials in high yield and purity.
Inorganic Chemistry for Geochemistry and Environmental Sciences Fundamentals and Applications by George W. Luther III
Description
This is a great new textbook by George Luther III from the University of Delaware. The textbook represents the results of a course he has taught for graduate students in chemical oceanography, geochemistry and related disciplines. It is clear that the point of the book is to provide students with the core material from inorganic chemistry that they will need to explain inorganic processes in the environment.
Chapter 7--Stanley Organometallics
Description
Chapter 7 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Alkenes and Alkynes
this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal pi-bonds, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.
Chapter 6--Stanley Organometallics
Description
Chapter 6 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Alkyls
this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal alkyls, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.
everyone is more than welcome to edit the materials to suit their own uses, and I would appreciate being notified of any mistakes that are found.
Chapter 5--Stanley Organometallics
Description
Chapter 5 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Hydrides
this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal phosphines, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.
