Examination Board: Maurizio Casarin, Marta M. Natile & Silvia Gross

Overview: Systematic presentation of the applications of group theory to the Inorganic
          Chemistry. Emphasis on the formal development of the subject and its
          applications to the physical methods of inorganic chemical compounds.
          Against the backdrop of electronic structure, the electronic, vibrational, and
          magnetic properties of transition metal complexes are presented and their
          investigation by the appropriate spectroscopy described. The laboratory
          session will be devoted to improve the students’ practical skills in the
          synthesis of different molecular and bulk inorganic compounds, as well as
          in their spectroscopic characterization.

Discussion:
Discussion sessions are an integral component of the course. The discussion sessions will focus on advanced
problems and the chemical literature, but there will also be the opportunity for student questions pertaining to
practice problems or any aspect of the course. Most weeks there will be specific work to be prepared for the
discussion session, which will be noted on the weekly handout and posted on the course website; discussion
preparation and discussion session work is in lieu of graded homework assignments, so this work should be
taken as seriously as one would consider graded assignments. Solutions to discussion questions will be posted on
the course website.

Exams:
There will be six three-hours written exams (two at the end of the first semester, two at the end of the second
semester, two before the new academic year starting).

Laboratory:
Attendance at all laboratory sessions is required, and on-time arrival is essential. Experiments and theoretical
background for the laboratory sessions will be introduced in dedicated lectures. The two laboratory sessions will
be both held at the 4th floor of the main DiSC building (their schedule will be provided by Silvia Gross).
Laboratory lecture notes (dispense) will be provided by the laboratory instructors. Laboratory safety is of utmost
importance. Laboratory safety issues will be reviewed during the first laboratory sessions. Each student is
required to provide her/his own laboratory notebook, which should contain bound, sequentially numbered pages
(loose-leaf binders and spiral-bound notebooks are not acceptable); a standard composition book is sufficient,
since duplicate pages are not required. It is acceptable to continue to use a laboratory notebook from a previous
chemistry course if sufficient space is available. Notebooks will be collected twice for evaluation. Written reports
(a template will be provided) are required for all experiments and should be submitted electronically after the
class or laboratory period on the days indicated; there will be a penalty for late submission without prior
approval.

Final Grade:
Exams count as 70% of the final grade, and discussion and laboratory work constitute the remaining 30% of the
final grade.

Intellectual Responsibility:
Students enrolled in Inorganic Chemistry 3 are expected to abide by the “Regolamento delle carriere degli
studenti” of the University of Padova. Particular attention should be paid to the items 23 (Deontologia
Studentesca) and 24 (Provvedimenti Disciplinari). The specific implications of the statement for Inorganic
Chemistry 3 are:

•   Students are encouraged to study together and to discuss the course material and laboratory experiments, but
    all work submitted for evaluation must represent the student’s own work and reflect her/his understanding
    of the material.

•   In-class exams must be worked individually during the allotted time, with no resources other than those
    provided with the exam. No discussion or other communication with other students will be permitted during
    exams. The exams will state clearly which reference materials, if any, may be used during the exams.

•   Students are strongly invited to produce original written reports, using high level references (scientific
    journals or textbooks) and disregarding unreliable sources as Wikipedia. Copying and plagiarism (copying
    somebody’s words, written texts, ideas, figures without quoting the sources) are, according to international
    legislation, a crime and are punished by the Italian law (Legge 22 aprile 1941 n. 633).

1. Mutual relation of the parts of something in respect of magnitude and position;
relative measurement and arrangement of parts; proportion.

2. Due or just proportion; harmony of parts with each other and the whole; fitting,
regular, or balanced arrangement and relation of parts or elements; the condition or
quality of being well-proportioned or well-balanced. In stricter use (approaching or
passing into 3b): Exact correspondence in size and position of opposite parts; equable
distribution of parts about a dividing line or centre. (As an attribute either of the whole,

The Vitruvian Man (Le proporzioni del corpo umano secondo Vitruvio), or simply L'Uomo Vitruviano, is a drawing made by
Leonardo da Vinci around 1490. It is accompanied by notes based on the work of the Roman architect Vitruvius. The
drawing, which is in ink on paper, depicts a man in two superimposed posi7ons with his arms and legs apart and inscribed
in a circle and square. The drawing and text are some7mes called the Canon of Propor*ons or, less o^en, Propor*ons of
Man. It is kept in the GabineRo dei disegni e stampe of the Gallerie dell’Accademia. Like most works on paper, it is
displayed to the public only occasionally, so it is not part of the normal exhibi7on of the museum.

«La filosofia è scritta in questo grandissimo libro che continuamente ci sta aperto
innanzi a gli occhi (io dico l'universo), ma non si può intendere se prima non
s'impara a intender la lingua, e conoscer i caratteri, ne' quali è scritto. Egli è scritto
in lingua matematica, e i caratteri son triangoli, cerchi, ed altre figure geometriche,
senza i quali mezi è impossibile a intenderne umanamente parola; senza questi è un
aggirarsi vanamente per un oscuro laberinto. »

        Évariste Galois
        Bourg-la-Reine, 25/10/1811 – Parigi, 31/05/1832

French mathema7cian who led a short, drama7c life and is o^en credited with
founding modern group theory, though the Italian Paolo Ruffini (1765–1822) came up
with many of the ideas first. Galois' work wasn't widely acknowledged by his
contemporaries, partly because he didn't present his material very well and partly
because he held unpopular poli7cal views. In fact, he was a republican revolu5onary
who was twice imprisoned because of his ac7vi7es. During his second incarcera7on
he fell in love with the daughter of the prison physician, Stephanie-Felice du Motel,
and a^er being released, fought a gun duel over her with Perscheux d'Herbinville.
Mortally wounded in the duel, he was abandoned in a field but found by a peasant
and taken to a hospital. A^er a few days he died of an infec7on. His death started
republican riots and rallies which lasted for several days.

Reputedly, the night before his fatal duel, Galois tried to write down as many
thoughts as possible. These notes and a few other papers were discovered 14 years
later by Joseph Liouville, who recognized them as works of genius. Galois set out
the theory of groups and laid down condi5ons for the solvability of various
algebraic equa5ons.

                 Niels Henrik Abel
                 Finnøy, 05/08/1802 – Froland 06/04/1829
Norwegian mathematician born at Findö, Christiansand, who,
independently of his contemporary Évariste Galois, pioneered group
theory and proved that there are no algebraic solutions of the general
quintic equation. Both Abel and Galois died tragically young – Abel of
tuberculosis, Galois in a duel. While a student in Christiania (now Oslo),
Abel thought he had discovered how to solve the general quintic
algebraically, but soon corrected himself in a famous pamphlet published
in 1824. In this early paper, Abel showed the impossibility of solving the
general quintic by means of radicals, thus laying to rest a problem that
had perplexed mathematicians since the mid-16th century.
Abel, chronically poor throughout his life, was granted a small stipend by the Norwegian
government that allowed him to go on a mathematical tour of Germany and France. In Berlin he
met Leopold Crelle (1780–1856) and helped him found, in 1826, a famous journal, the first in the
world devoted to mathematical research. Its first three volumes contained 22 of Abel's papers,
ensuring lasting fame for both Abel and Crelle
.
Abel revolutionized the important area of elliptic integrals with his theory of elliptic functions,
contributed to the theory of infinite series, and founded the theory of commutative groups, known
today as Abelian groups. Yet his work was never properly appreciated during his life and,
impoverished and ill, he returned to Norway unable to obtain a teaching position. Two days after
his death, a delayed letter was delivered in which Abel was belatedly offered a post at the
University of Berlin.

  Consider the symmetry properties of an object (e.g. atoms of a molecule, set of
  orbitals, vibrations). The collection of objects is commonly referred to as a basis set.

  [ classify objects of the basis set into symmetry operations

  [ symmetry operations form a group

  [ group mathematically defined and manipulated by group theory

                      symmetry operations & symmetry elements

A symmetry operation moves an object into an indistinguishable orientation. Symmetry
operations are actions.

A symmetry element is a point, line or plane about which a symmetry operation is
performed. Symmetry elements are geometrical entities (a point, a line, a plane) about
which the actions take place.

There are five symmetry operations, which will be defined relative to point with
coordinate (x1, y1, z1):

                       2) reflection, σ̂                        about which the actions take place.

4) Proper rotation axis:
because of convention, φ, and hence zi, is not transformed under Cn(θ)
projection into the xy plane need only to be considered; i.e., rotation of vector v(xi,yi)
through θ
