|
Course contents :
|
||||||||||||||
| Part 1: Structure and bonding in inorgnaic solids
Part 2: Introduction to the synthesis of inorganic solids
An introduction to X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy is included. The course matter is illustrated by numerous exercices and 3 days of pratical sessions. |

|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
||||||||||||||
| At the end of the course, students will be able to:
· understand and use the theoretical and practical concepts involved in structural inorganic chemistry; · understand and explain the mechanisms involved in synthesis processes of inorganic solids; · analyse synthesis procedures reported in the literature. In addition, laboratory sessions in small groups will help the students in developing more general skills, such as : team working, problem solving, finding information in technical literature, critical analysis of experimental data, oral and writing skills. |
