Inquiry-based approach to crystal field / ligand field theory: any ideas or resources?

Submitted by Jeremiah / Plymouth State University on Wed, 04/09/2014 - 00:20

I am interested in teaching crystal field theory and/or ligand field theory in a sort of inquiry-based, student-led manner in an upcoming class.  Just wondering if anybody has any thoughts or links to resources that could be handy in putting this together. 

(Full disclosure:  in re-working my syllabus a bit for this semester, I thought it would be a "good idea" to dedicate a lab period to learning CFT and LFT--now that the lab is approaching, I'm scrambling to figure out a useful way to fill 3 hours!) 

All thoughts are much appreciated.  Thanks!
