Abstract

In this exercise students will review a number of fundamental concepts including molecular geometry, electron configurations, magnetism, metal-ligand interactions, and material science. Students will use molecular modelling software to build, visualize and study a cutting edge material (single molecule magnet).


Keywords: Molecular geometry, magnetism, molecular modeling, molecular magnets, nanomaterials.
