-
3.00 - 6.00 Credits
An independent research project supervised by a professor chosen by student. Early in semester a thesis proposal is written, approved by a thesis committee and submitted to the Commonwealth College Office. About 3-4 hours of lab per week per credit. Continued as 499T subsequent semester. Prerequisites: faculty sponsor approval and 3.2 average.
-
0.00 Credits
With lab. Theory and practical application of modern instrumental methods for chemical analyses. Atomic and molecular spectroscopy, electroanalytical chemistry, chromatography and mass spectrometry. Applications to real analytical problems. Prerequisites: CHEM 315 and 476.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic atomic structure concepts; stereochemical principles and bonding models applied to main group and transition metal compounds and to the structure of solids. Includes elementary molecular orbital and ligand field theory, and kinetics and reaction mechanisms of d-block complexes. Descriptions of metal-metal bonded and organometallic systems. Structure and bonding principles applied to catalytic and biological system reactivity. Prerequisites: CHEM 241/341, 476.
-
3.00 Credits
Mechanisms of some important organic reactions. Topics covered may include application of qualitative molecular orbital theory to pericyclic reactions, free radical chemistry, photochemistry, heterocyclic systems, cationic and anionic reactions.
-
3.00 Credits
Modern techniques for identification and structural analysis of organic compounds. Emphasis on the interpretation of spectra. Optional lab sections with opportunities to use spectroscopic facilities in the department, and to use spectroscopic techniques and procedures, such as nuclear-nuclear decoupling or 2-D NMR experiments (DEPT, COSY), spectral simulation and prediction, standard sample preparation methods. Completion of a two-semester physical chemistry course prior to enrollment strongly recommended. Students may enroll in the concurrent one-credit laboratory, CHEM 553, with consent of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to quantum mechanics and its application to chemical problems; electronic structure of atoms and molecules, molecular orbital theory, chemical bonding, potential energy surfaces, and molecular spectroscopy. Prerequisite: CHEM 476 or equivalent .
-
3.00 Credits
Short review of thermodynamics. Introduction to statistical thermodynamics and its application to chemical problems. Statistical mechanical basis of thermodynamic behavior, e.g., entropy and attainment of equilibrium, and derivation of thermodynamic properties from basic microscopic description of molecules and solids, via quantum mechanics. Other topics may include gas imperfections, theory of liquids, adsorption, and molecular simulations.
-
3.00 Credits
A course for first and second year graduate students focusing on protein and nucleic acid structure and function. Topics include: physical basis for structures, tools used in structure determination such as x-ray crystallography, NMR, and circular dichroism as well as structure prediction, visualization and design. Prerequisites: One full year of undergraduate organic chemistry.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of principles of spectroscopy to structural aspects of inorganic substances. Infrared and Raman, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear quadrupole resonance, Mossbauer spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Prerequisite: CHEM 546 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
