CHMY 401    Advanced Inorganic Chemistry   Fall, 2015  Goals: This course will examine the coordination chemistry of metals with a focus on structure, bonding of ligands, electronic spectra and the role of metals in biological systems.  Concepts in atomic structure, molecular symmetry, and molecular orbital theory will provide the underpinnings for developing an understanding of the chemistry of metals and how it contrasts with carbon-based chemistry.
