Elmore A further study of the function and regulation of biomolecules and macromolecular assemblies introduced in CHEM 221, with special em-phasis on enzymes and metabolic pathways. Both the lecture and laboratory components of the course emphasize the development of independent research proposals to further students' conceptual and experimental understanding of biochemistry. Prerequisite: 221 (students with 222 should get permission of the instructor to enroll in 328) Distribution: Natural and Physical Science Semester: Spring Unit: 1.25

Virgo This advanced course emphasizes the mathematical basis of physical chemistry. Macroscopic thermodynamics is revisited from the pers-pective of atomic and molecular theory to give an in-depth treatment of statistical mechanics. The rigorous treatment of quantum mechan-ics includes matrix formalism, group theory, and computational chemistry. In addition to solid state and x-ray analysis, topics covered in-clude laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy and reaction dynamics (why chemical reactions happen). Modern applications are empha-sized. This course cannot be counted toward the physical chemistry requirement of the chemistry major. Prerequisite: 233, PHYS 106 or 108; and MATH 215. Not open to students who have taken [333] or 335; (232 by permission of the instructor). Distribution: Natural and Physical Science or Mathematical Modeling Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0

Coleman Review of atomic structure, multi-electron atoms, the periodic table and periodicity, chemical applications of group theory, molecular orbital theory, the chemistry of ionic compounds, generalized acid/base theories, transition metal complexes, organometallic chemistry, catalysis, and bioinorganic chemistry. The laboratory introduces a number of experimental and computational techniques used in inorganic chemi-stry. Prerequisites: 205 or 120; prerequisite/corequisite: 212. Distribution: Natural and Physical Science Semester: Spring Unit: 1.25

Research is supervised by a member of the Wellesley College chemistry department. Off-campus research requires active participation of a Wellesley faculty member throughout the research period. Course fulfills the research requirement for the major only upon the comple-tion of a paper of 8-10 pages on the research and a presentation to the chemistry department during one of the two research seminar presentation periods. A copy of the paper must be submitted to the chair of the chemistry department. (Note: paid internships are not eligi-ble for CHEM 350.) Prerequisite: Open by permission to students who have taken at least three units in chemistry above the introductory level. Distribution: None Semester: Fall, Spring Unit: 1.0

3.00 Credits
The first course in a two-semester investigation of a significant research problem, culminating in the preparation of a thesis and defense of that thesis before a committee of faculty from the chemistry department. Students will participate in a regular weekly seminar program, in which they will discuss their research progress informally with faculty and student colleagues and gain familiarity with contemporary re-search through presentations by outside seminar speakers. This route does not lead to departmental honors. If the first semester of thesis is used to fulfill the research requirement, the student must complete a paper of 8-10 pages on the research and give a presentation to the chemistry department during one of the two research seminar presentation periods. A copy of the paper must be submitted to the chair of the chemistry department. (Note: paid internships are not eligible for CHEM 355.) Prerequisite: Open only to seniors by permission of the instructor. Distribution: None Semester: Fall, Spring Unit: 1.0

3.00 Credits
CHEM 360 is the first course in a two-semester investigation of a significant research problem, culminating in departmental honors upon the completion in the second semester of a thesis and defense of that thesis before a committee of faculty from the Chemistry Department. Students in 360 and 370 will be expected to attend the weekly departmental honors seminar, listed in the schedule of classes. The semi-nar provides a forum for students conducting independent research to present their work to fellow students and faculty. See Academic Distinctions. If the first semester of thesis is used to fulfill the research requirement, the student must complete a paper of 8-10 pages on the research and give a presentation to the chemistry department during one of the two research seminar presentation periods. A copy of the paper must be submitted to the chair of the chemistry department. (Note: paid internships are not eligible for CHEM 360.) Prerequisite: By permission of department. Distribution: None Semester: Fall, Spring Unit: 1.0

3.00 Credits
Flynn Classical and instrumental methods of chemical analysis. Topics include statistical analysis, electronics and circuitry, electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and separations science with special attention to instrument design and function. The course work emphasizes the practical applications of chemical instrumentation and methods to address questions in areas ranging from art history to biochemistry to materials science. The laboratory work focuses on the design, construction, and use of chemical instrumentation along with the interfacing of instru-ments with computers. Prerequisites: 205 and 211 or 120 and 211. Distribution: Natural and Physical Science. Fulfills the Quantitative Reasoning overlay course requirement. Semester: Fall Unit: 1.25

The second course in a two-semester investigation of a significant research problem, culminating in the preparation of a thesis and de-fense of that thesis before a committee of faculty from the chemistry department. Students will participate in a regular weekly seminar pro-gram, in which they will discuss their research progress informally with faculty and student colleagues and gain familiarity with contempo-rary research through presentations by outside seminar speakers. This route does not lead to departmental honors. Course counts toward the research requirement if the student completes the thesis and the thesis presentation. (Note: paid internships are not eligible for CHEM 365.) Prerequisite: 355 Distribution: None Semester: Fall, Spring Unit: 1.0 CHEM 370 Senior Thesis CHEM 370 is the second course in a two-semester investigation of a significant research problem, culminating in departmental honors upon the completion of a thesis and defense of that thesis before a committee of faculty from the chemistry department. Students will par-ticipate in a regular weekly seminar program, in which they will discuss their research progress informally with faculty and student col-leagues and gain familiarity with contemporary research through presentations by outside seminar speakers. Course counts toward the research requirement if the student completes the thesis and the thesis presentation. See Academic Distinctions. (Note: paid internships are not eligible for CHEM 370.) Prerequisite: 360 and permission of department. Distribution: None Semester: Fall, Spring Unit: 1.0
