| Outline and Purpose of the Course | These lectures will introduce students to the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry. This series of lectures will aim at giving students a basic comprehension of chemical reactions (acid-base and redox) as well as the structure of inorganic substances, their properties and their applications in our daily lives. This course is designed for both Japanese and International students. | |||
| Course Goals | (1) To understand the theories of acid-base and redox reactions. (2) To be able to analyze the symmetry of complex molecules and their related properties. (3) To understand the fundamental theories and their applications. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
The course will cover the following topics, and each of them is read in 1 or 2 weeks (1) Brønsted acids and bases (2) Lewis acids and bases (3) Oxidation and reduction (4) Representation of potentials and applications (5) Molecular symmetry and coordination compounds (6) Electronic structure of d-metal complexes: crystal-field theory and ligand-field theory (7) Properties of d-metal complexes (8) Introduction to the characterization techniques in inorganic chemistry (9) Material chemistry (10) Catalysis Total 14 classes and 1 Feedback |
