3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to experimental and theoretical approaches to the determination of the structure of atoms, molecules, and chemical bonds. Classroom work provides background in the theory of atomic and molecular structure and an introduction to quantum mechanics and spectroscopy. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement W. Chen Prereq. Chemistry 201, Chemistry 202, Mathematics 202, Physics 216 with grade of C or better; 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
The implications of molecular symmetry as expressed in the language of group theory are explored in some depth. Group theory provides the context for a discussion of the structural and spectroscopic properties of inorganic compounds, particularly those of the transition metals. Does not meet a distribution requirement D. Cotter Prereq. permission of instructor; corequisite Chemistry 325; offered every other year; 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
This course emphasizes recent developments in synthetic organic chemistry and deals with general synthetic methods and specific examples of natural product synthesis. It covers such topics as new methods of oxidation and reduction, stereospecific olefin formation, ring-forming reactions, and methods of carbon- carbon bond formation. The application of these reactions to the synthesis of naturally occurring compounds is examined. A general strategy for the synthesis of complex molecules is also presented. Does not meet a distribution requirement D. Hamilton Prereq. Chemistry 302; offered every other year; 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the concepts and methods of physical organic chemistry. Examination of reaction mechanisms and the experimental results that support these mechanisms. Topics include structure and reactivity, reaction kinetics, mechanism determinations, andWoodward-Hoffman Rules. Does not meet a distribution requirement S. Browne Prereq. Chemistry 302, 308; offered every other year; 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
An elective sequel to Organic Chemistry II, this course will build directly upon the standard organic chemistry sequence to add both depth of understanding and breadth of application. The course will draw heavily from the reaction classes covered in the earlier courses and add conceptual frameworks to support discussion of rearrangements of carbon skeletons, migrations to electron-deficient centers, the formation and reactions of carbenes, and symmetry control of electrocyclic processes. Recognizing that a key goal of contemporary organic chemistry is the preparation of new carbon frameworks, a brief introduction to the use of retrosynthetic analysis will also be included. Does not meet a distribution requirement D. Hamilton Prereq. Chemistry 302, Organic Chemistry II; 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
(Speaking-intensive course) This advancedlevel seminar will focus on the molecular properties of DNA. Using as sources a graduate- level text and readings from the primary literature, the class will discuss a variety of current topics in the research community, including the binding of proteins and small molecules to DNA, the covalent modification of DNA by mutagenic agents, and the dynamic nature of DNA across timescales. Critical analysis of experimental design and conclusions from data will be encouraged. Students will be evaluated based on participation in discussions, oral presentations, and an original research proposal. Does not meet a distribution requirement M. Nunez Prereq. Chemistry 302 and one additional 300-level chemistry course; 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the fields of biophysical chemistry and molecular biophysics, where biological systems are probed and described by physical techniques and models. Topics will include the physical properties of biological molecules (proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipid membranes); applications of spectroscopy to biological systems, both in vitro and in vivo; the mechanisms of light harvesting and energy conversion; and technological developments inspired by biological systems. Lecture sessions (two per week) will be complemented by a weekly discussion of papers from the contemporary literature. Does not meet a distribution requirement The department Prereq. Chemistry 302 required; Chemistry 212, Biochemistry 311 or Biology 220 recommended, or permission of instructor; 4 credits
-
8.00 Credits
Independent work in chemistry can be conducted with any member of the department. Does not meet a distribution requirement The department Prereq. jr, sr, permission of department; Note: See safety training restrictions in description of Chemistry 295; 1 to 8 credits
-
3.00 Credits
A seminar series consisting of meetings on alternate weeks to discuss articles from the current chemical literature. The readings will prepare students for attendance at lectures on the chosen topics in the remaining weeks. The lectures are given primarily by visiting speakers, but they may include department faculty. Students will serve as discussion leaders, and each student will write a paper on a presentation of her choice. Does not meet a distribution requirement D. Hamilton, M. Gomez Prereq. sr; 1 credit
-
4.00 Credits
Offers study and practice in the grammar and syntax of classical Latin. Does not meet a distribution requirement M. Landon students must complete both Latin 101 (4 credits) and 102 (4 credits) to satisfy the language requirement; 4 credits
