    This course uses the principles of chemistry to understand natural systems and assess human impact on these systems. Lecture topics will include atmospheric chemistry, the chemistry of natural aqueous systems, data collection and interpretation and the chemistry of pollutants such as anthropogenic organic compounds and heavy metals. The laboratory aspect of the course will focus on analytical techniques commonly used in environmental analysis such as high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, inductively coupled plasma and numerous wet chemical techniques. Prerequisite: CHEM 107.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An in-depth study of properties, structures, bonding and reactions of inorganic compounds. Topics include molecular orbital theory, organometallics, coordination chemistry and bioinorganic molecules. The weekly laboratory is designed to provide students with experience in inorganic synthesis and representative analytical methods of inorganic chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 211 and CHEM 312. Spring semester.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An advanced special topics course in organic chemistry with emphasis on the mechanistic aspects of biomolecular action and drug design. Topics of discussion include antitumor agents, antibiotics, cholesterol-regulating agents, coenzymes and catalytic antibodies. Prerequisites: CHEM 220 and CHEM 222. Offered in the summer only, alternate years or with sufficient student demand (6 or more students).
  • 3.00 Credits

    A study of modern methods for the asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds with emphasis on reaction mechanisms. Laboratory exercises will be directed toward the study of spectrometric methods for identification of organic compounds with emphasis on 1H and 13C NMR, IR and GCMS. Prerequisites: A grade of B/C or above in CHEM 220 and CHEM 222. Fall semester.
  • 3.00 Credits

    The objectives of this course are to provide a conceptual understanding of instruments and instrumental methods and to provide hands-on experience in the lab. Three major topics are covered: 1) spectrophotometric methods; including ultraviolet-visible, atomic absorption, inductively coupled plasma and fluorescence spectroscopy, (2) chromatographic separations; including high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography, 3) electroanalytical methods including potentiometry, amperometry, coulometry and voltammetry. Prerequisites: CHEM 211 and CHEM 220. Spring semester.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is designed to provide an introduction to the field of polymer science from a chemical viewpoint. The course begins with a historical overview of the development of polymer chemistry and an introduction to the nomenclature (both IUPAC and trade names) currently used in the field. Approximately half of the course is devoted to synthesis (condensation and addition) of polymeric materials and to the control of physical properties through the polymerization process. The kinetics and mechanisms of polymerization reactions and their role in influencing the structure and function of polymeric materials is discussed. The remainder of the course examines structure function relationships in polymers and the use of additives and their role in producing polymeric materials with improved physical and chemical properties. The course assumes an understanding of the important organic functional groups and the associated nomenclature. Prerequisite: CHEM 222. Generally offered Spring semester, alternate years.
  • 1.00 Credits

    The first semester of a year-long sequence utilizing the mathematical approach in the study of chemistry. Topics include the first, second and third laws of thermodynamics, the thermodynamics of ideal and real solutions and an introduction to solution and gas phase kinetics. The laboratory experiments will involve the application of these concepts to calorimetry, spectroscopy, electrochemistry and chemical equilibrium. Prerequisites: CHEM 211 and CHEM 222, MATH 124 or MATH 131. Fall semester.
  • 2.00 Credits

    The second semester of the year-long sequence introduces the concepts of quantum theory of atoms and molecules. The development of quantum mechanics is traced from the Bohr model of the atom to modern applications of computational chemistry. In the laboratory, students use spectroscopy to illustrate the theoretical and mathematical concepts developed in the course. Prerequisite: CHEM 330. Spring semester.
  • 1.00 Credits

    The first half of the course covers the chemistry of carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Particular attention is given to enzyme kinetics and other methods available to study protein structure and function. The second half of the course focuses on bioenergetics and metabolism. Glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation are covered in detail. Weekly experiments are selected to provide experience in modern biochemical lab techniques. Students must present a paper published in the primary literature to their peers. Prerequisites: CHEM 211 and CHEM 222. Fall semester.
  • 2.00 Credits

    This course if designed as a continuation of CHEM 350. Topics include metabolism of lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, integration and regulation of metabolism and photosynthesis. Students are expected to read and discuss current publications from the primary literature. In addition students must write a review article on an approved topic of their choice and present their findings to the class. The laboratory component of this course focuses on recombinant protein technologies. Prerequisites: CHEM 350. Spring semester.
