3.00 Credits
This course deals with the theories and methods in instrumental procedures and significant developments in modern chemical analysis and separation techniques. Instrumental techniques will include flame atomic absorption, capillary electrophoresis, inductively coupled plasma spectroscopic methods, basic mass spectrometry, and ion, high pressure, and gas chromatography. One afternoon or weekend field trip may be required. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: Chemistry 240, 251 and 252. Pre- or corequisite: Chemistry 345. Distribution area: science.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the first semester of a two-semester course exploring the fundamental behavior of chemical systems in terms of the physical principles which govern their behavior. The specific focus is on microstructure of atoms, the role of this microstructure in the formation of molecules and the statistical descriptions of system behavior in terms of the microstructure. Topics covered include quantum chemistry, bonding, molecular structure, spectroscopy, NMR, properties of gases and statistical thermodynamics. Prerequisites: Chemistry 126 or 140, Physics 156 or 166, and Mathematics 126 or equivalent. Mathematics 255 is recommended.

3.00 Credits
This course is the second semester of a two-semester course exploring the fundamental behavior of chemical systems in terms of the physical principles which govern their behavior. The specific focus is on system behavior to explain spontaneity, energy transformations, chemical and physical equilibrium and the rates of chemical reactions. Topics covered include classical thermodynamics, phase equilibria, chemical equilibria, kinetics of chemical processes and surface chemistry. Prerequisites: Chemistry 126 or 140, Physics 156 or 166, and Mathematics 126 or equivalent. Mathematics 255 is recommended. Chemistry 345 strongly recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
The concepts of modern inorganic chemistry at an advanced level. Selected topics are explored in depth rather than in a review of the entire field. Possible topics include transition-metal complexes and theories of metal-ligand bonding, acid-base theories and nonaqueous solvents, kinetics and mechanisms of transition-metal-complex reactions, bonding in solids, atomic structure and term symbols, symmetry and group theory. Three lectures per week. Pre- or corequisites: Chemistry 346.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
An advanced integrated laboratory course jointly taught by the analytical and organic chemists in the department, with emphasis on the use of analytical instrumentation and advanced synthesis projects. Two three- to four-hour laboratories per week. Prerequisites: Chemistry 246, 251, and 252. Pre- or corequisite: Chemistry 320.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
An advanced integrated laboratory course jointly taught by the inorganic and physical chemists in the department, with emphasis on inorganic synthesis, analytical techniques used in inorganic chemistry, and physical chemistry concepts in the laboratory. Two three- to four-hour laboratories per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 345 and 361. Corequisite: Chemistry 346 and 360.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will examine the reactions and transport of chemical species in aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric environments. The laboratory portion will concentrate on sampling design, field sampling methods, and data analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
This project-based course will focus on expanding students' knowledge of modern instrumentation based on their field of study. Students will choose from a variety of instrumentation including UV-Vis spectroscopy, atomic absorption and emission spectroscopy, ion chromatography, liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Prerequisites: Chemistry 140, or 126 and 136, and consent of instructor. Additional Prerequisites for Chemistry majors: Chemistry 320 and 361. Distribution area: science.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Staff An advanced laboratory project or a directed reading project selected by the student in consultation with the staff and supervised by the staff member best qualified for the area of study. For a laboratory project, a written report reflecting the library and laboratory work carried out is required. The student must select a supervising staff member and obtain approval for a project prior to registration. If any part of the project involves off-campus work, the student must consult with the department chair for approval before beginning the project. Each credit of independent study laboratory work corresponds to one afternoon of work per week. A maximum of three credits may be counted toward degree requirements. Prerequisites: two years of college chemistry and consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
not offered 2008-09 Reactions and synthesis in organic chemistry. Topics include retrosynthetic analysis, carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, functional-group interchanges, control of stereochemistry, ring-forming reactions, synthesis of heterocycles, and determination of product structure using mass spectrometry and NMR, IR, and UV spectroscopy. Prerequisite: Chemistry 246. Offered upon request.
