CHED 188 |
| Desktop experiments have been developed for an upper level transition metals course that has only a lecture period and no separate laboratory. This course is generally taken by junior chemistry majors and senior chemical engineering majors and covers topics ranging from group theory to reactions of transition metals to bioinorganic chemistry. The experiments are small-scale and non-toxic, so they are easily performed by the students at their desks during class time. Three desktop lab exercises have already been incorporated into the course, demonstrating the concepts of molecular symmetry, spectroscopy of transition metal complexes, and ligand exchange reactions. Current work involves the development of an experiment for the bioinorganic portion of the course. |
