This LO was created to celebrate Dr. Vivian W.-W. Yam's 2022 ACS Award, the Josef Michl Award in Photochemistry. These questions are written to help guide class discussion about this paper and the complexes in it. This LO would be good for an organometallics class or similar upper-division inorganic chemistry class.

This is an excellent literature discussion. I plan to utilize this learning object when I teach Advanced Inorganic Chemistry in the Fall 2022 term.

Awesome! I had a lot of fun making this LO and plan to use it next time I teach inorganic too.
