Material Detail

This online textbook/course is designed to incorporate various topics from the overall site, ChemWiki. The ChemWiki is “designed to maintain all Modules (pages of chemistry information) in the primary sections” for the core classes in Chemistry. There is also a link to Wikitexts, which contains classes put together by faculty who select which modules to include. As with any wiki, the materials are continually being updated, but in reviewed by peers. "Inorganic chemistry is concerned with the properties and reactivity of all chemical elements. Advanced interests focus on understanding the role of metals in biology and the environment, the design and properties of materials for energy and information technology, fundamental studies on the reactivity of main group and transition elements, and nanotechnology. Synthetic efforts are directed at hydrogen storage materials and thermoelectrics, catalysts for solar hydrogen generation, fullerenes and metal porphyrins, metal clusters and compounds with element-element bonds, as well as nanowires and nanoparticles."
