3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. A descriptive exploration of the chemistry of inorganic compounds including the structure, bonding, and reactions of main-group molecules, transition metal complexes, and extended solids. Laboratory work includes the synthesis and characterization of molecular compounds and extended solids, and introduces useful characterization techniques including infrared and electronic spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermal analysis. Prerequisite: Chemistry 101/102 or consent of the instructor. Lecture-conference-laboratory. May be taken without the lab for one-half unit.
-
3.00 Credits
One-half course for one semester. An introduction to the chemistry of natural and polluted environments. Fundamental principles of chemistry are used to understand the sources, reactivity, and fate of compounds in the Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Topics include: the stratospheric ozone layer, photochemical smog and particulate air pollution, climate change and energy use, water toxics and treatment, and agricultural modification of the surface environment. Prerequisite: Chemistry 101/102. Lecture-conference.
-
3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. An examination of the principles of chemical equilibria and the principles and methods of chemical and instrumental analysis. The functions of classical volumetric and gravimetric techniques, along with electronic, optical, and mechanical instrument components and features of their organization into measurement systems are discussed. Applicability and limitations of representative electrochemical, spectroscopic, and nuclear instruments are assessed. Prerequisite: Chemistry 101/102 or consent of the instructor. Lecture-laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
One-half course for one semester. An exploration of various experimental strategies and techniques in physical chemistry, as applied to inorganic, organic, and/or biochemical problems. Laboratory work includes investigations of energetics, molecular structure, and reaction dynamics requiring the use of large instrument systems and critical analysis and interpretation of experimental data. Prerequisites: Chemistry 311 and 333, or consent of the instructor. Lecture-laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
One-half course for one semester. An introduction to experimental, computational (molecular modeling), and theoretical methods for investigating the properties of short-lived species relevant to organic chemistry. Topics include the transition states of thermally induced concerted reactions and excited state species found in concerted photochemical reactions. Prerequisite: Chemistry 201/202 or consent of the instructor. Lecture-conference.
-
3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. An introduction to statistical mechanics, which provides a bridge between the quantum mechanical description of properties pertaining to microscopic systems and the classical thermodynamic description of properties pertaining to macroscopic systems. An examination of the relations between molecular dynamics, observed rates, and inferred mechanisms of chemical reactions will be included. Prerequisites: Mathematics 111 and Physics 100 (corequisite is acceptable), or consent of the instructor. Lecture-conference.
-
3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. An introduction to principles of quantum mechanics and their application to problems in atomic and molecular structure. Prerequisites: Mathematics 111 and Physics 100. Lecture-conference.
-
3.00 Credits
One-half course for one semester. A discussion of the use of symmetry and group theory in inorganic chemistry to enhance understanding of structure and bonding, including applications in vibrational and electronic spectroscopy and molecular orbital theory. Translational symmetry, crystallography, and band theory for extended solids will also be introduced. Examples will be drawn from the literature to highlight frontier research in the field of inorganic chemistry. Prerequisites: Chemistry 212 and 333, or consent of the instructor. Lecture-conference.
-
3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. A study of synthetic methods and design. Topics include methods of building carbon skeletons and changing functional groups, strategies for organic synthesis, and exemplary syntheses of natural products. Laboratory work introduces students to multistep synthesis. The laboratory and lecture focus on the use of high field NMR spectroscopy as a tool for structure determination. Prerequisite: Chemistry 201/202. Lecture-laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
One-half course for one semester. An examination of the structure and function of biomolecules, particularly proteins and polynucleic acids. Areas of study include protein stability and folding, protein-ligand interactions, enzyme kinetics and catalysis, and the molecular mechanisms for gene regulation and protein biosynthesis. Computer-based molecular models are used to examine biomolecular structures in an interactive fashion. Prerequisite: Chemistry 201/202. Lecture.
