Physical-Inorganic Group (Spring 2024)

The physical inorganic class of spring 2024 at University of South Carolina is awesome. Prof. Natalia Shustova is the mentor of the class. The main goal of the course as stated by Dr. Natalia is to learn to use symmetry as applied by group theory to understand the structures, bonding, spectra and physical properties of inorganic and organometallic compounds by using the modern methods of chemical analysis. She subdivided the topics covered as Symmetry and group theory and Material Characterization.

Learning Outcomes

After taking the course, one should be able to use symmetry to use normal modes of vibration, vibrational energy states, and transitions between them in small molecules and metal complexes including the CO vibrational spectra of metal carbonyl complexes. Students are benefited by understanding the principles of X-ray diffraction and single-crystal crystallography and structure determination, the principles of NMR spectroscopy and be able to predict the NMR spectra of simple organic and inorganic molecules.

Students enrolled

The students enrolled in her class are from different parts of the globe. Michael Anim Safo (Ghana), Whitney Schuler (USA), DJ (USA), Chanikya Jayawardane (Srilanka), Nuwandi Jayasekara (Srilanka), Farjana (Bangladesh), Habiba Binte Kashem (Bangladesh), Molly Quitel (USA), Megan Weatherly (USA), Yunping Zhoujin (China), Paige Williams (USA), Gabby Tellier (Canada) and Pradeep Pokhrel (Nepal) are the students of physical-inorganic class (spring 2024) of University of South Carolina.

Out of 13 students, Molly and DJ are in Natalia's lab. Dr. Natalia's research basically focus on metal-organic framework.
