Course Description

A selection of topics from: materials chemistry, main group and transition metal cluster chemistry, electrochemistry, asymmetric catalysis and other areas of modern inorganic chemistry.

Note: Graduate students attend lectures with undergraduate students but attend different tutorials and are assessed separately.

Learning Outcomes On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to demonstrate a fundamental understanding of, and the ability to rationalise, the key concepts in several frontier topics in inorganic chemistry.
Indicative Assessment

Assessment will be based on:

  • Mid-term exam (40%; LO 1)
  • Final exam (40%; LO 1)
  • Literature Critique (20%; LO 1)
Workload 32 hours of lectures/tutorials plus a further 32 hours of independent learning.
Course Classification(s) AdvancedAdvanced courses are designed for students having reached 'first degree' level of assumed knowledge, which provide a deep understanding of contemporary issues; or 'second degree' and higher levels of knowledge; or for transition to research training programs.
Eligibility Students must have a Bachelor of Science degree or equivalent with a major in chemistry with relevant experience or honours. Applicants with the equivalent of a pass degree may be admitted if they have a high level of relevant academic achievement.
Incompatibility Incompatible with CHEM3032 or a related course in an undergraduate program.
