Structural Chemistry
The structure of the tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) complex.
A grant from the National Science Foundation is helping our department incorporate experimental structure determination into a range of courses, including Inorganic Chemistry, Materials Engineering, and Structural Methods in Chemistry and Biochemistry. Through these hands-on laboratory exercises we hope students will gain a better understanding and appreciation of the power (and limitations) of the X-ray diffraction technique.
