What did you enjoy or find most useful from this course?

  

Timothy: This course inspired me to take the inorganic chemistry elective courses (CM3212 and CM4215).

​

Anonymous: Dr Chan is extremely approachable and is happy to answer any questions.​

​

What aspects of the course did you find most challenging, and why?

​

Timothy: Due to the design of Dr Chan's notes, it was slightly difficult to organise all the course content.

​

Anonymous: Concepts on MO diagrams of sigma-donor, pi-donor, pi-acceptor ligands and ferrocene are the most challenging. Especially, because it links back to the previous topics on UV-Vis such as MLCT and d-d transitions.​
