Description

This module aims to rationalise the unusual structures and reactivity of inorganic rings, chains and clusters from the point of view of electron counting rules and bonding models and to develop an appreciation of nanochemistry and how these materials can be prepared and utilised.

Students should be able to:

  1. Define what is meant by a ring, chain and cluster.
  2. Use electron counting rules to predict their structures.
  3. Describe the synthesis, structures and bonding found in inorganic rings, polymers and clusters
  4. Appreciate the utility of nano-scaled materials

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHOD

Lectures: The topics will be introduced through a blended delivery of asynchronous videos with online activities, and support hours.

Self-study: In addition to timetabled hours it is expected that you engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form of practicing example questions (additional questions available on Moodle and past exam questions) and further reading in textbooks and online
