09S, 10S: 2A This survey course discusses both the physical principles and practical applications of the more common modern methods of materials characterization. It covers techniques of both microstructural analysis (OM, SEM, TEM, electron diffraction, XRD), and microchemical characterization (EDS, XPS, AES, SIMS, NMR, RBS and Raman spectroscopy), together with various scanning probe microscopy techniques (AFM, STM, EFM and MFM). Emphasis is placed on both the information that can be obtained together with the limitations of each technique. The course has a substantial laboratory component, including a project involving written and oral reports, and requires a term paper. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 24, or permission of the instructor. I. Baker.

09F: 9L Offered in alternate years Modern theories of organic reaction mechanisms, particularly the use of physical-chemical principles to predict the effect of changing reaction variables, especially reactant structures, on reactivity. The structure, stability, and reactivity of carbanions and carbocations, as well as SN1 and SN2 reactions, are discussed. Prerequisite: Chemistry 52 or 58, or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
09W: Arrange Consideration of organic chemical reactions at an advanced level. Current knowledge concerning synthetic methods, reaction mechanisms, reactive intermediates, conformational analysis, and biosynthesis is discussed in the context of modern organic chemistry. Prerequisite: Chemistry 151, or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
10S: Arrange A survey of the application of modern synthetic methods to the total synthesis of natural products. Coverage will include retrosynthetic analysis and synthetic planning and an overview of the preparation of a wide variety of important natural products. Emphasis will be placed on student problem-solving in the context of the synthesis of complex molecules. Prerequisite: Chemistry 152, or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
10W: Arrange Treatment at an advanced level of one or more areas of organic chemistry. The subject matter may vary from offering to offering; accordingly, the course may be taken for credit more than once. Offered on a tutorial basis to qualified students.
-
3.00 Credits
09S: Arrange An introduction to the chemical, physical, and spectroscopic properties of heterocyclic compounds. Coverage will include reactions, synthesis, stereo-chemistry, and unusual rearrangements. Attention will also be given to natural product synthesis and to heterocycles of biological interest. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.

3.00 Credits
08F, 09F: 10A A course for students who intend to take Chemistry 5-6, but who need additional preparation for quantitative and analytical aspects of general chemistry. Chemistry 2 develops the quantitative basis of chemistry relationships and the skills to solve chemistry problems. Much of the course will be devoted to mathematical manipulations and functional relationships that are integral to the quantitative applications of chemistry concepts. In-class experiments will introduce the analysis, interpretation and presentation of chemical data. Students are placed into Chemistry 2 based on their pre-matriculation mathematics and science record. Dist: SCI.

3.00 Credits
08F, 09F: Arrange A course in the methodology and practice of chemistry teaching at the undergraduate college level. Topics such as laboratory supervision and safety, grading issues, special needs students, lecturing and tutoring techniques, exam preparation, and the teacher/student relationship will be discussed through readings, class discussions, and student presentations. This course is a prerequisite to the supervised undergraduate teaching requirement for the Ph.D. degree in chemistry. Required of entering graduate students. This course is not open for credit to undergraduates. Milde, Veale.
