CHIMICA INORGANICA I E LABORATORIO

The final goal will be a knowledge of the Inorganic Coordination Compounds with a particular emphasis on their electronic and crystallographic structures.

Polielectronic atoms and Russel Saunder coupling, dn terms and their energies.

Molecular Orbital theory, secular equations and determinant, Extended Huckel methods, group theory and simplification of the related problems.

Electronic structures of AXn molecules and their study with UV Photoelecytron Spectroscopy.

Solis State: cristalline and amorphous phases. Hcp and ccp structures. Metal, alloys, oxides and halides.

Electronic structure of the solids.

Lab experiences: sintheses of salts, glasses and ceramic materials and their characterisations by SEM/EDX, DSC and XRD techniques.
