Learning Objectives
The course aims at providing the students with a basic knowledge of the tools for the description of the electronic structure of polyelectronic atoms and of coordination compounds. The basis for the interpretation of their magnetic properties and of their electronic spectra will be also provided.
The basic concepts of some relevant spectroscopic techniques will be presented.
