Annotation
The lecture is dedicated to students of MSc. degree.
The lecture deals with the principles of the electronic spectroscopy and magnetochemistry and their applications to inorganic chemistry, particularly the chemistry of coordination compounds. The main subjects are the interpretation of ligand field and charge transfer spectra and evaluation of ligand field splitting and Racah parameters and magnetic properties of magnetically diluted samples.
The course is designed for Master and PhD students.
