This course introduces the organometallic chemistry of the transition metals and main group elements with emphasis on common structural features and basic reaction types. The role of organometallic complexes in catalysis is also explored.
An introduction to modern inorganic chemistry, including a description of transition- metal complexes and their role as catalysts, and a survey of the reactivity of selected elements of the main group. Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory
This is the fourth in a series of exercises used to teach computational chemistry. It has been adapted, with permission, from a Shodor CCCE exercise (http://www.computationalscience.org/ccce). It uses the WebMO interface for drawing structures and visualizing results. WebMO is a free web-based interface to computational chemistry packages (www.webmo.net).
This is the third in a series of exercises used to teach computational chemistry. It has been adapted, with permission, from a Shodor CCCE exercise (http://www.computationalscience.org/ccce). It uses the WebMO interface for drawing structures and visualizing results. WebMO is a free web-based interface to computational chemistry packages (www.webmo.net).
In the exercise, students compare the computational results (structures and energies) for different theoretical methods and basis sets.
This is the second in a series of exercises used to teach computational chemistry. It has been adapted, with permission, from a Shodor CCCE exercise (http://www.computationalscience.org/ccce).
It was tested on WebMO Version 18 but should work with minimal modification on earlier versions. WebMO is a free web-based interface to computational chemistry packages (www.webmo.net).

Part 9 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video explores the concept of reaction rate and shows how the rates of change of reactant and product concentrations vary during the course of a reaction.
Part 8 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video shows students how to calculate the enthalpy change for an overall reaction by combining a series of individual steps.
Part 7 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video introduces the concept of an oxidation state, which is a tool used to keep track of electrons in chemical reactions.
Part 6 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video reviews the concept of the mole and shows how to use atomic masses of individual elements to calculate formula masses of covalent and ionic compounds. The video also introduces the concept of stoichiometry conversions.
