• By combining the preparation of basic inorganic compounds and complexes with IR spectroscopic analysis, freshman courses can be improved with regard to both methods and content. Students learn to correlate the IR data from their samples with data from X-ray crystallography and get a better understanding of chemical concepts of structure and bonding and resonance equilibria.
