Overview of class

Survey of experimental techniques used in catalysis research from an inorganic perspective, with an emphasis on fundamental concepts and physical methods for probing catalytic mechanisms. Topics include electrochemical, photochemical, biological, organometallic, and heterogeneous catalysis, with attention to the roles of electronic structure, bonding, and reactivity across diverse chemical contexts. The course is research-oriented and incorporates modern literature and experimental approaches commonly employed in catalysis-related research.
