The Faculty of Science recommends courses,833, 834, 835, 836, 837, and

835 for adoption by

Senate. These courses require no additional faculty or

space, and have no budgetary consequences. The old courscsj

because the Chemistry Department and

the

Faculty feel that the

content and calendar descriptions of these courses do not adequately

refl

the competence of

Chemistry Department faculty in those areas. The proposed

courses more

adequately

describe

the

specialties of the various faculty

members

in the Chemistry Department

The calendar descriptions for the new courses would

833-3 Recent Advances in Main Group Chemistry

A survey of the important devel Opmefl

in main

gi'Oul)

chdflhis try

in recent years. Developments will be examined in the context

of the basic chemistry of the elements involved; not every element

group will necessarily be-discussed.

834-3

Recent Advances in Transition Metal Chemistry

Developments in the chemistry

of Simple

and complex transition

metal compounds emphasizing current

theories of electronic

structure,

stereochemistry

and

bonding.

635-3 Recent

Advances

in Organometallic Chemistry

A review of recent progress in this area, including metal

alkyls, metal carbonyls and their derivatives, complexes

with

delocalised

ring systems and related compounds.

836-2.:. Theoretical

Inorganic Chemistry

The

calculation of electronic :struc.tures

and other properties

of inorganic compounds.

837-2 Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry

Techniques for the synthesis and isolation of inorganic

and

organometall ic

compounds, including non--aqueous solvents, vacuum

and inert atmosphere manipulations and separation and purification

methods.

.838-2 Problems in Structure and Stereochemistry

A critical analysis of the reliability and significance of

structural information obtained from X-ray, spectroscopic and

other techniques as applied to inorganic and orgariometallic systems.
