Inorganic Chemistry 1 and 2 University of Bordeaux

Course Overview

> THIS COURSE IS DIVIDED IN TWO COURSES:

- CI1 (Inorganic Chemistry 1), and

- CI2 (Inorganic Chemistry 2).

1.  CI1 is the first course in the three years undergraduate
inorganic chemistry lecture sequence. Students will learn the basic
principle to understand the structural arrangement of atoms and ions
to build crystalline host lattice. Metallic, ionic and covalent
matrices will be described.
 
2. CI2 is a continuation of CI1. The consequence of the periodic order
of atoms in a solid will be highlight by the matter-X-Ray interaction
through the description of diffraction phenomenon. Beyond simple
structures, some more complex structures: Study of the ideal
crystallized solid: Crystallographic planes and directions, Solid
solutions, Notions of X-ray diffraction, Vegard's law.
In a second step, heterogeneous equilibria will be treated: system,
phase, constituents, equilibrium factors, variance, Binary systems:
solid – liquid equilibrium with total or partial miscibility of
constituents and with several invariant equilibria.

Course schedule

I. CI1
> Crystallographic basis

- Periodic order, unit cell, compactness, multiplicity, Bravais
lattice, crystal classes.

> Crystal architecture

- Compact, non-compact layer, coordination polyhedron, metallic
lattice

> Interstitial positions

- Metallic solid solution, ionic matrix, NaCl, ZnS, CsCl, CaF2,
NiAs…

> Covalent and molecular crystals

- Graphite, diamond

II. CI2
> X-ray diffraction

- History and definition, Production / Protection / Fundamental
principles (i.e. Bragg’s law); Nodes - Rows – Plans; the
Debye-Scherrer Chamber; Special case of cubic structure (P, I and F
modes); How to use all that ((d1/di)² and ICSD files)

> Solid solutions and Végard’s law

- Some definitions – few words about the structure of metals; the
different SS (insertion and substitution); the Vegard’s law

> Binary Diagrams (only how to read it)

- Heterogeneous equilibrium with total solubility; Heterogeneous
equilibrium with partial solubility and eutectic equilibrium;
Heterogeneous equilibrium with partial solubility and peritectic
equilibrium; Notions of intermediate compounds (line compounds, with
domain of existence, various fusion types, etc.)
