All terms: Arrange An original and individual investigation with associated literature study in one of the fields of chemistry under the supervision of a member of the staff. Students electing the course will carry out preliminary reading during the preceding term and normally participate in a weekly colloquium. Open to qualified majors and minors, normally seniors, with permission of the Chair. The course may be elected more than once, but may be counted only once in satisfying the minimum major requirements. It may be elected for the last term in residence only if elected previously, or if the student has been doing research outside of this course. Students electing the course write a report and take an oral examination at the end of the term in which they last elect the course. Prerequisite: sufficient training in the area of chemistry to be investigated, and permission of the Chair. Chair and Staff of the Department.

09S: 10 Offered in alternate years A study of the structure, bonding, and chemical properties of organometallic compounds of the main group and transition elements. Applications to organic synthesis and homogeneous catalysis will be discussed, and organometallic compounds of the lanthanide and actinide elements may also be discussed. Prerequisite: Chemistry 64, or permission of the instructor. Dist: SCI.

3.00 Credits
09F: 10 Offered in alternate years The role of metals in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, with an emphasis on mechanisms of catalytic reactions. Applications to industrial processes, organic synthesis, and asymmetric synthesis will be discussed. Prerequisite: Chemistry 90, or permission of the instructor. Dist: SCI.

3.00 Credits
10S: 10 Offered in alternate years The role of metal ions in biological systems. Topics include metal ion transport, storage, and interaction with proteins and nucleic acids; metalloproteins involved in oxygen transport and electron transfer; metalloenzymes involved in activation of oxygen and other substrates; and medicinal, toxicity, and carcinogenicity aspects of metals; as well as inorganic model chemistry of bioinorganic systems. Several physical methods are introduced, and their application to current research on the above topics is considered. Prerequisite: Chemistry 64, and Chemistry 41 or Biology 40, or permission of the instructor. Dist: SCI.

3.00 Credits
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. Dist: SCI.

1. 08F: 9S, 10+09F: 8, 9S, 10+ 2. 09W, 10W: 8, 9S, 10+ 3. 09S, 10S: 8, 9S, 10+ An introduction to spoken and written Modern Standard Chinese. Conversational drill and comprehension exercises in classroom and laboratory provide practice in pronunciation and the use of the basic patterns of speech. Intensive reading is conducted for textbook lessons. Grammar is explained and written exercises given. Traditional characters are learned in Chinese 1 and 2; simplified characters are introduced in Chinese 3. Classes are conducted increasingly in Chinese. Mandatory student-run drill sessions meet Monday to Thursday for fifty minutes each day for all beginning Chinese language classes. Satisfactory completion of Chinese 3 fulfills the language requirement. Never serve in partial satisfaction of Distributive or World Culture requirements. Blader, Mowry, Rudelson.

09W, 10W: 12 The aim of this course is to provide students with a basic knowledge and appreciation of Chinese culture. The course will examine the development of traditional Chinese culture from the earliest Chinese dynasties, dating back more than 3500 years, to the present day. Through readings of literary texts in translation students will be introduced to topics in language, history, literature and art, philosophy and social and political institutions. The course is open to students of all classes. It is required for participation in the FSP and for the major. Dist: LIT; WCult: NW. Blader.

22. 09W, 10W: 11, 2 23. 09S, 10S: 11, 2 Chinese 22 and 23 covers a full second-year level course, using the textbook Integrated Chinese, Level Two and a variety of other materials. The course is designed for students who have completed Chinese 4 or Chinese 21 or the equivalent. Students who have only completed Chinese 3 may be eligible for this course with permission of the instructor. Class hours include four or five fifty-minute sessions with the master teacher and up to four fifty-minute drill and/or conversation sessions. There are weekly exams, a midterm, and a final, as well as writing assignments, oral presentations, and supplementary work assigned as needed. This series is intended to raise the student's levels in speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills and, thereby, significantly increase their understanding of Modern Standard Chinese. Dist: LIT; WCult: NW. A. Li, Zhu.
