Developing a Virtual Reality Approach toward a Better Understanding of Coordination Chemistry and Molecular Orbitals

Abstract

A virtual reality (VR) session was introduced to an Advanced Inorganic Chemistry class, a class open to junior and senior undergraduate students at University of California, Los Angeles. The VR session helped the students to learn complicated aspects of metal coordination chemistry and molecular orbitals via a three-dimension, immersed experience.
