9. ABOUT THE
INORGANIC
DIVISION

10. The inorganic faculty pursues a range of research interests that
encompasses almost every area of modern inorganic and
organometallic chemistry including transition metal, physical-
inorganic, structural, inorganic-analytical, bioinorganic,
organometallic, catalysis, solid state and materials chemistry.

11. The Inorganic Division attracts graduate students from all over the
country; thus, the graduate student group is an unusually fine
resource for enhancing the breadth of one’s professional as well
as social outlook and experience.
