INORGANIC MATERIALS CHEMISTRY

Degree course: 
Corso di Second cycle degree in CHEMISTRY
Academic year when starting the degree: 
2020/2021
Year: 
2
Academic year in which the course will be held: 
2021/2022
Credits: 
8
Period: 
Second semester
Standard lectures hours: 
64
Requirements: 

A deep knowledge of the topics tackled during the courses of General Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry, as well as of the fundamentals of Mathematics and Physics, is a beneficial prerequisite to tackle the topics of Part A. A good knowledge of Structural and Inorganic Chemistry is a beneficial prerequisite to tackle the topics of Part B.

Part A final examination consists of an interview during which the students will be examined on all the topics tackled during Part A lessons. The interview is satisfactory if it is worth a mark amounting at least to 18/30. Part B final examination consists of an interview subdivided into two distinct portions: a) a brief presentation on a specific topic agreed with Part B teacher; b) an interview on the topics illustrated during Part B lessons. Part B final mark will equally be determined by both portions and will be considered satisfactory if amounting at least to 18/30. The course final mark is the arithmetic average of the Part A and B marks.

Assessment: 
Voto Finale

TEACHING AIMS
The course aims at widening the students’ knowledge and comprehension in the fields of Inorganic Chemistry, Materials Chemistry and Structural Chemistry. To the aim, as representative examples, a number of forefront inorganic materials classes will be presented, focusing on their chemico-physical, structural and functional properties, as well as on their up-to-date instrumental characterization techniques.
EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS
As a result of the course, the students are expected to i) understand the relationships among chemico-physical, structural and functional properties; ii) employ the knowledge at point i) to rationalize the behaviour of classes of advances inorganic materials not tackled by the course but described in the scientific literature.
