Modern Inorganic Materials (F1197)
Modern Inorganic Materials
Module F1197
Module details for 2022/23.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 6
Module Outline
This module will cover the fundamental electronic and magnetic properties of modern materials including cooperative magnetism, electronic structure and conductivity and applications of these materials. It will also introduce the correlated application of advanced physical techniques, including SQUID magnetometry, X-ray diffraction, transport measurement, EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopies. The second part will focus on presenting examples of modern Inorganic materials such as Metal Organic Frameworks – Coordination Polymers and Polynuclear Coordination Clusters to which the particular technique(s) can be applied and their properties with particular emphasis on adsorption, molecular magnetism, catalysis, drug delivery, fluorescence.
Module learning outcomes
Demonstrate systematic understanding of the use of various techniques to analyse Metal Organic Frameworks, Coordination Polymers and Polynuclear Coordination Clusters.
Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of the major concepts, principles and theories of Metal Organic Frameworks – Coordination Polymers and Polynuclear Coordination Clusters that enables them to critically scrutinize and solve problems related to them.
Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the electronic, magnetic, spectroscopic, biological and catalytic properties of Metal Organic Frameworks-Coordination Polymers and Polynuclear Coordination Clusters.

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
