Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (II)

Lecturer: Prof. Ling-Kang LIU (¼B³®±^±Ð±Â)

Scope

Physical methods

Outline

The course deals firstly with a brief introduction to the physical methods employed in solving the current inorganic problems. These rudimentary spectroscopic principles will be followed by in depth highlights applicable to the inorganic chemistry, for both solution and solid materials.

Included are the following physical methods:

  1. General Introduction to Spectroscopy
  2. Absorption Spectroscopies
  3. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopies
  4. Magnetic Properties
  5. Photon Electron Spectroscopy--- XPS, UPS
  6. X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy--- XANES, EXAFS
  7. X-ray Crystallography

The electron microscopic methods shall be separated from above.
