Abstract: Guided by the talent development mission of the Chemistry “101 Plan”, the teaching of metal-oxygen clusters focuses on the core goals of solidifying foundational knowledge and leading students toward frontier research. We accurately anchor the three major teaching difficulties and design targeted teaching strategies. Adopting case-based teaching as the carrier and with the assistance of the four-stage progressive teaching method, this approach focuses on training students to analyze the relationship between structures and properties, while consolidating their fundamental theoretical knowledge, and it guides them to concentrate on frontier research and expand their academic horizons.
