Inorganic Chemistry
In-depth introduction to the vast
sub-field of the discipline dealing
with all elements in the periodic
table. Presents balanced blend of
facts and theories in modern inorganic
chemistry. Emphasis is on bonding,
electronic, magnetic and structural
features exhibited by inorganic and
organometallic compounds and their
reactivities. Modern concepts including
symmetry and group theory and
their relevance in solving chemical
problems. Bioinorganic chemistry,
and “high tech” inorganic materials
and solids are introduced.

Course Descriptions
CHEM 485
Chemistry Colloquium
Lectures by prominent scientists.
This course exposes students to current
and active research in chemistry
both within and outside the IIT community.
It helps prepare students for
a career in research. It is complementary
to the academic courses and
provides examples of professional/scientific
presentations. This course
may not be used to satisfy the natural
science general education requirement.
Prerequisite: CHEM 125 or
CHEM 126 or consent of instructor.
(1-0-1)
CHEM 487
Senior Thesis in Chemistry
Original work carried on by the student
under the guidance of a staff
member. A careful search of the literature
is required before the study is
begun, and continued reference to
the chemical literature is expected
as the work progresses. A written
report is required. (0-12-4) (C)
CHEM 497
Special Projects
For juniors and seniors. (Credit:
Variable) (C)
Graduate Courses
Graduate courses are available to
degree-seeking undergraduate students
with the approval of the course
instructor and faculty adviser. See the
