CHEM 711 Recent Developments in Inorganic Chemistry
This course aims to introduce some recent advances in areas of modern inorganic. The course focuses on three main areas: preparation and uses of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), organometallic metal-ligand complexes as catalysts and developments in modelling/simulation of metal containing compounds using Density Functional Theory (DFT). By the end of this course, the students will have broad knowledge of these areas as well as the ability to search available library databases and systematically review and critically evaluate methodologies and approaches within the field. Each student will select a research topic from those presented, preferably related to their dissertation topic and write and present a review article.
