Jack Thomas-Colwell; Ramya S. Pathuri; Aaron H. Shoemaker; Michael G. Hill; Bryan M. Hunter – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
The study of coordination complexes in general and inorganic chemistry courses is facilitated by theoretical frameworks such as crystal field theory (CFT) and ligand field theory (LFT). The angular overlap model (AOM) is alternative approach that quantifies metal-ligand interactions based on the geometric configuration of a given complex. In this…

Lau, Poh Nguk; Chan, Wen Loong; Li, Yuxuan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
As part of COVID-19 preparedness, a student-developed, Android-based app was used as a pre-laboratory learning aid for a molecular modeling laboratory in a first-year general chemistry course. A worksheet activity with trigger codes and questions related to spatial features of transition metal complexes was designed. Using the Transition Metal…

Aristov, Michael M.; Moore, John W.; Berry, John F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Through the implementation of the free website/smartphone application Sketchfab, we have found a simple means to introduce 3D visual tools into the chemistry classroom. Sketchfab stores 3D models and animations with free cross-platform accessibility. Blender is a free 3D modeling tool that has been used to prepare models and animations for…
