Alexander J Norquist

I will be teaching the following courses during the 2007 - 2008 academic year:

Fall 2007:

• Chem 301a. Laboratory in Chemical Structure and Reactivity. This course serves as an introduction to the methods used in chemical research.
• Chem 354. Solid State Chemistry. This course is focused on the reactivity of solids. Synthetic techniques and structural analyses will be emphasized.

Spring 2008:

• Chem 105b. Advanced General Chemistry. A treatment in some depth of the concepts that shape our understanding of chemical reactions.
• Chem 320g. Inorganic Chemistry. The molecular and electronic structure of transistion metal and main group compounds will be discussed, in addition to a survey of inorganic reaction mechanisms.
• Chem 353h. Topics in Materials Science. This course will focus on the structure-property relationship central to the study of materials with specific functions. Structural studies will include bonding, order/disorder an
