Title: Integrative Topic in Chemistry
Course Section Number: CHE-491-01
Department: Chemistry
Description: Advanced Structure, Bonding, & Spectroscopy of Inorganic Compounds This senior capstone course will challenge students with an application of fundamental group theory principles to structure, bonding, and vibrational spectroscopy. Group theory provides a powerful analytical tool for determining how molecular symmetry dictates infrared/Raman spectra and molecular orbital descriptions of chemical bonding. Although the primary focus will include inorganic substances, this course will build upon concepts established in previous coursework from across many subdisciplines of chemistry. In-depth exploration will connect overarching themes in the major and provide a powerful launching point for written comprehensive exam preparation. Critical engagement with the primary literature, small-group problem solving, and diverse modes of oral and written presentation will be emphasized. This one-half credit course is required of all chemistry majors and meets twice each week for the first half of the semester.
