Literature assignment

This assignment is to get you into the chemical literature and to discuss it with your classmates.  You are to find a research article related to Inorganic Chemistry.  This must be either a 2023 or 2024 journal article.  Articles from "Organometallics" or "Inorganic Chemistry" are automatically approved.  Simply send via e-mail the reference information (journal, volume, year, pages).  Survey articles will not be approved.  You must have your article approved by Tuesday of the week of your presentation. 

Your presentation should be approximately five minutes long and must include the following information:

a) Title of the article
b) authors and where they are from, indicate the principle author
c) journal, volume, year, pages
d) why the authors chose this work (given in the introduction)
e) why you chose this article
f) point of interest to the class

The second presentation must be related to something we have already covered in class.  For the second presentation, also tell us how it relates to the class material.  Each presentation is worth 10 homework points.
