CHEM 4670
Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory
A laboratory course emphasizing both the synthesis of inorganic compounds and the study of their physical properties. Laboratory exercises will introduce novel synthetic techniques including high-temperature synthesis and vacuum-line manipulations. Compounds will be spectroscopically characterized by UV-visible absorption, gas-phase infrared, and multinuclear and dynamic NMR spectroscopies. Measurements of electrochemical behavior, magnetic susceptibility, and electrical conductivity will be performed.

The material is well taught, though sometimes a little bit confusion but overall inspirational. Dr Hayes is funny and caring. Grades are reasonable. Definitely learn something from this course.

What a waste of time. I learned nothing from Hayes, and barely anything additional from the TAs. Grading was arbitrary. I don't think she could do the experiments, so we shouldn't have to do them.
