  • CHEM 306: Seminar

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Arumainayagam Topic for 2009-10: Radiation Chemistry. Radiation chemistry is the science of the chemical effects brought about by the absorption of ionizing radiation by matter. This course will examine radiation chemistry in the context of fundamental physiochemical processes, applica-tions, and biological implications. The widespread belief that aging and genetic evolution are both influenced by ambient radiation will be analyzed. Applications of radiation chemistry such as chemical synthesis (e.g., radiation-induced polymerization), food irradiation, steriliza-tion of medical equipment and disposables, waste treatment by irradiation, and semiconductor device manufacture will be discussed. The chemistry of ions, excited states, and radicals will be treated to afford a deeper understanding of matter and its interactions. The central role of low-energy electrons in radiation chemistry will be emphasized. Prerequisites: 211 Distribution: Natural and Physical Science Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0 CHEM 317 Advanced Organic Chemistry Carrico-Moniz Strategies, including retrosynthetic analysis, for the synthesis of complex molecules. Considerable emphasis will be placed on construction of ring systems, acyclic stereocontrol, and asymmetric catalysis. Lecture topics will be accompanied by case studies drawn from the cur-rent chemical literature. Reaction mechanisms will be emphasized throughout the course.
