Chemistry 2120Fall 2011Prof. N.L. RosiDescriptionModern inorganic chemistry is an incredibly broad field. Chemists belonging to the ‘sub-fields’ ofbioinorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, supramolecular coordination chemistry, solid-statechemistry, synthetic nanoscience, and polymer chemistry (among others) often have received formaltraining in inorganic chemistry. This diversity, naturally, is very exciting. In constructing a course on“Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry”, however, one must pick and choose only a few topics. Becausestudents generally have different backgrounds and depths of experience in inorganic chemistry, we willbegin by reviewing a selection of fundamental core topics. We will then proceed to focus mainly oncoordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry. Throughout the semester, relevant papers andtopics from the current literature will be used to illustrate the concepts addressed in the course. The lastfew class periods will be devoted to special topics.ParticipationFeel free to participate in class and ask questions. If you have a question, chances are other students havethe same question. I’ll do my best to answer them! In cases where a question requires a lengthyexplanation, it is better to ask after class or schedule an appointment with me to discuss the topic 1-on-1.HomeworkThere will be a number of homework assignments which will be collected and graded. Homework countsfor 20% of your grade. Homework is provided for practice and study purposes. As long as youdemonstrate exceptional effort (see below) on the homework assignments, you can expect to earn most ofthe points. I will collect homework at very specific times (typically before lecture). I will not acceptlate homework.Exceptional effort is defined as follows:1) Clear, thorough, and thoughtful answers to all the questions2) Neat and clean presentation of answers (you should give me the final draft of yourhomework, not a working draft)3) Acknowledge your co-workers (if you worked in groups)ExamsExam I will cover introductory and fundamental concepts material and will be worth 20% of your grade.Exam II will cover coordination chemistry and will be worth 20% of your grade.Exam III/Final will cover main group, organometallic chemistry, special topics, and selected topics fromExam I and II and will be worth 40% of your grade.Although each of the exams cover specific blocks of material, you can expect to see concepts on thesecond exam which were covered on the first exam and likewise concepts on the third exam which werecovered on the previous two exams.Office HoursI do not keep formal office hours. If you would like to schedule a meeting with me to discuss thecoursework, please e-mail me with a few possible meeting times. I am typically available to meet onTuesdays and Thursdays.DisabilityIf you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting an accommodation, please contact bothme and the office of Disability Resources and Services (Contact info below) as soon as possible so thatwe can make any necessary arrangements. The Disability Resources and Services office is located inWilliam Pitt Union, Room 216. Their phone number is (412) 648-7890. They will be able to verify thedisability and determine reasonable accommodations for this course.

Chemists belonging to the “sub-fields” ofbioinorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, supramolecular coordination chemistry, solid-statechemistry, synthetic nanoscience, and polymer chemistry (among others) often have received formaltraining in inorganic chemistry. This diversity, naturally, is very exciting. We will focus on the basic theoryand principles of inorganic chemistry that can be used to describe bonding, structure, reactivity, andphysical properties of inorganic substances.Grading:3 Midterm Exams (100 pts each)Final ExamHomework & QuizzesPresentation & PaperTotal:30010010050550HomeworkThere will be a number of homework assignments which will be collected and graded. Yourhomework scores are summed and normalized to a 100 point scale. I will collect homework atthe start of lecture. I will not accept late homework.QuizzesSeveral times during the semester, I will start class with a 10-minute quiz. These are usually 2-3 questionsand designed to give you immediate feedback on key concepts. If you have been following lectures andreadings, you should not need to study additionally for quizzes — just pay attention and read a little eachday. A quiz will count as a homework assignment.

Chemistry 1130 / 2180Presentation/PaperIn the last week of classes, each assigned group will give a 10-15 minute presentation. The group will alsohand-in a 2 page paper. Details for this assignment will be distributed later in the semester.ExamsAll exams, including the final exam, are worth 100 pts. toward your final grade. Although each of themidterm exams covers specific blocks of material, the course does “build up,” so concepts from the firstexam will show up on the second and third exams.The Final Exam is optional. If you are satisfied with your grade before the final, you may decide to not takethe final. In this case, you will be awarded the grade that you earned from the first 450 pts.I do not allow make-up exams. If you have a legitimate excuse before or immediately after an exam, I willsimply award your grade on the basis of your other exams. I highly recommend taking the final exam in thiscase.Office HoursI encourage you to come to my office hours. If the times do not work for you, you mayschedule an appointment with me via email or just ask your question via email if it does notrequire a lengthy explanation. Please schedule appointments 24 h in advance and suggest a few possiblemeeting times.DisabilityIf you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting an accommodation, please contact both meand the office of Disability Resources and Services (Contact info below) as soon as possible, so that we canmake any necessary arrangements.
