6.00 Credits
A continuation of CHEM-UA 227. Similar to CHEM-UA 226, except in greater depth. In this second semester, emphasis is placed on oxygenbearing functional groups such as ketones, acids, and acid derivatives, and their importance in forming carbon-to-carbon bonds. These topics are further extended to polyfunctional compounds such as carbohydrates. Open only to declared chemistry and biochemistry majors.
-
4.00 Credits
In this advanced course, topics missing or only superficially covered in Organic Chemistry II and Laboratory or Majors Organic Chemistry II and Laboratory are discussed in greater depth to provide an insight into factors governing reactivity of organic molecules and mechanisms of organic reactions. Specific topics vary from year to year and may include molecular orbital theory, electrocyclic reactions, photochemistry, free radical chemistry, natural products, bioorganic chemistry, and organic synthesis.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to quantum mechanics-general principles and applications to important model systems. Covers electronic structure of one- and many-electron atoms, theory of chemical bonding in diatomic and polyatomic molecules. Includes principles and applications of molecular spectroscopy: rotational, vibrational, electronic, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Elements of photochemistry are also included.
-
4.00 Credits
Develops the close connection between the microscopic world of quantum mechanics and the macroscopic world of thermodynamics. Topics include properties of gases, kinetics, elementary statistical thermodynamics, and thermodynamics of single and multicomponent systems.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles and practices of experimental methods widely used in analytical and research laboratories. Emphasizes understanding of background physicochemical theory, as well as capabilities and limitations of methods and interpretations of data. Covers instrumental methods, such as UV/visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, NMR, and fluorescence, for the systematic characterization of compounds and the use of interfaced computers for data collection and spreadsheet analysis. Studies also include an introduction to computer modeling of molecular properties. Optional experiments include Department of Chemistry fluorescence studies of protein denaturation and laser studies of excited state kinetics.

5.00 Credits
See description under Physics.
-
4.00 Credits
Studies of methods in inorganic chemistry that make use of symmetry to describe bonding and spectra of inorganic compounds. Reactions and kinetics are also discussed for inorganic, organometallic, and bioinorganic compounds. Selected topics in main group chemistry are also included.
-
4.00 Credits
Advanced laboratory emphasizing techniques commonly used in synthetic inorganic and organic chemistry research. Instruction in techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, polarimetry, circular dichroism, vibrational spectroscopy, air-sensitive techniques, and thin-layer, column, and high-pressure liquid chromatography. Research examples from nanotechnology, chiral technology, ruthenium electrophotochemistry, porphyrin, and peptide synthesis are explored.
-
4.00 Credits
Provides students with a good basic knowledge of molecular modeling and a computational laboratory workbench for computer-based discovery research. The computer laboratory provides access to cutting-edge molecular modeling techniques and software and a hands-on research experience. Students model, design, and calculate the properties of nano-structures, including biomolecules.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the chemistry of living cells. Topics include structure and function of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids; enzyme structure, mechanism, and regulation of enzyme activity, and membrane structure and transport; and mechanisms of cellular processes and cellular physiology, including ion channels and pumps, cell motility, and the immune response. The second term emphasizes analysis of basic metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, electron transport, and oxidative phosphorylation, as well as mechanisms of metabolic regulation and integration.
