Inorganic Chemistry

Part 1 Structure: atomic structure; molecular structure; polyatomic molecules and solids; the structures of solids. Part 2 Reactions: Bronsted acids and bases; Lewis acids and bases; d-metal complexes; oxidation and reduction. Part 3 s- and p-block elements: hydrogen and its compounds; main group organometallics; the boron and the carbon groups; the nitrogen and oxygen groups; the halogens and the noble gases. Part 4 d- and f-block complexes: bonding and spectra of complexes; reaction mechanisms of d-block complexes; d- and f-block organometallics. Part 5 Interdisciplinary topics: catalysis; structure and properties of solids; bioinorganic chemistry.
