Inorganic chemists study the entire periodic table (even carbon—as long as it’s bound to a metal!) and are interested in the structure and reactivity of a wide variety of complexes. We will spend the first third of the course learning some “tools” and then will apply them to a variety of current topics in inorganic chemistry (bioinorganic chemistry, solid state materials, catalysis, nuclear chemistry, and more!).
Chapter 21 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Polymerization
this chapter covers the history of polymerization reactions.
Unlike the vast majority of the chapters in this series, there are no powerpoint slides for this chapter.
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 20 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Metathesis
this chapter covers the history of metathesis reactions.
Unlike the vast majority of the chapters in this series, there are no powerpoint slides for this chapter.

Chapter 19 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Polymerization and Metathesis
this chapter covers polymerization catalysis and olefin metathesis.
The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I share these with students after the class, but not before.
