DFT calculations offer a good compromise between speed and accuracy. They are well suited for problem molecules such as transition metal complexes. This feature has revolutionized computational inorganic chemistry. DFT often underestimates activation energies and many functionals reproduce hydrogen bonds poorly. Weak van der Waals interactions (dispersion) are not reproduced by DFT a weakness that is shared with current semi-empirical MO techniques.

There is a growing interest in modeling transition metals because of its applicability to catalysts, bioinorganics, materials science, and traditional inorganic chemistry. Unfortunately, transition metals tend to be extremely difficult to model. This is so because of a number of effects that are important to correctly describing these compounds. The problem is compounded by the fact that the majority of computational methods have been created, tested, and optimized for organic molecules. Some of the techniques that work well for organics perform poorly for more technically difficult transition metal systems. 

The mechanisms by which transition metal oxidizing agents convert alcohols to aldehydes and ketones are complicated with respect to their inorganic chemistry The organic chemistry is clearer and one possible mechanism is outlined m Figure 15 4 The...

Sol-gel primers use inorganic or metal-organic precursors (generally aluminum, silicon or titanium alkoxides) whose chemistry is closely related to the silane coupling agents discussed previously. These precursors are dissolved in alcohol, then hydrolyzed by the addition of water ... 

When a Br nsted base functions catalytically by sharing an electron pair with a proton, it is acting as a general base catalyst, but when it shares the electron with an atom other than the proton it is (by definition) acting as a nucleophile. This other atom (electrophilic site) is usually carbon, but in organic chemistry it might also be, for example, phosphorus or silicon, whereas in inorganic chemistry it could be the central metal ion in a coordination complex. Here we consider nucleophilic reactions at unsaturated carbon, primarily at carbonyl carbon. Nucleophilic reactions of carboxylic acid derivatives have been well studied. These acyl transfer reactions can be represented by...

The structure theory of inorganic chemistry may be said to have been bom only fifty years ago, when Werner, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 1913, found that the chemical composition and properties of complex inorganic substances could be explained by assuming that metal atoms often coordinate about themselves a number of atoms different from their valence, usually four atoms at the comers either of a tetrahedron or of a square coplanar with the central atom, or six atoms at the comers of an octahedron. His ideas about the geometry of inorganic complexes were completely verified twenty years later, through the application of the technique of x-ray diffraction.

Seven chemical reactions were identified from the chemistry syllabus. These chemical reactions were selected because they were frequently encountered during the 2-year chemistiy course and based on their importance in understanding concepts associated with three topics, namely, acids, bases and salts, metal reactivity series and inorganic chemistry qualitative analysis. The seven types of chemical reactions were combustion of reactive metals in air, chemical reactions between dilute acids and reactive metals, neutralisation reactions between strong acids and strong alkalis, neutralisation reactions between dilute acids and metal oxides, chemical reactions between dilute acids and metal carbonates, ionic precipitation reactions and metal ion displacement reactions. Although two of the chemical reactions involved oxidation and reduction, it was decided not to include the concept of redox in this study as students had only recently been introduced to ion-electron...
