CHEM 6070

Solid State Chemistry

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2019-2020.

This course is aimed at the broad community of chemists and engineers interested in the synthesis, structure, characterization, and application of extended solids. We will focus on the unique challenges and opportunities in materials chemistry, starting with the construction (how do we make it?) and characterization (how do we know?) of organic, hybrid, and inorganic materials. We will then explore the relationship between a material's properties and its potential applications (what can we use it for?). Special topics including porous materials, metal-organic frameworks, conductivity, and defects.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: undergraduate general, organic, and inorganic chemistry (or equivalent) or permission of instructor.
