Spectroscopic Constants and Energetics of Metal-Containing Systems: An Experiment for the Undergraduate Computational-Chemistry Laboratory
E. G. Bakalbassis, M.-A. D. Stiakaki, A. C. Tsipis, and C. A. Tsipis Laboratory of Applied Quantum Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54006 Thessaloniki, Greece
A new, safe, inexpensive, and successful undergraduate laboratory exercise that incorporates quantum chemistry is proposed based on an improved atom-superposition and electron-delocalization molecular-orbital (ASED-MO) model that is used by the students in predicting the structural, spectroscopic, and energetic properties of highly ionic metal-containing systems.

Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
Take JCE along on your outreach missions. Copies of the Journal, guest access to JCE Online, our publications catalog, and more are available for your participants.
