Instructor: Daniel G Nocera

TA: Mike Marshak

Lecture: MWF9 (2-143)

Subject Description:

Systematic presentation of the chemical applications of group theory. Emphasis on the formal development of the subject and its applications to the physical methods of inorganic chemical compounds. Against the backdrop of electronic structure, the electronic, vibrational, and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes are presented and their investigation by the appropriate spectroscopy described.

Exam 3

The 3rd exam solution key is up. Your graded exams are in the chem office. Final course grades were already submitted so regrades are not really an option for you. In my opinion, I was especially kind when grading the exam, and Dan was especially kind when assigning grades. If you have any questions let me know.

Have a great winter,

Angular Overlap

An angular overlap scaling chart has been posted. I thought that this was in the OCW notes, but it was apparantly taken off due to copyright.

Problem Set Supplement

An optional problem set including recently discussed electronic spectroscopy is up. You can ignore 4(c) as this was not discussed in class.
