1.00 Credits
This laboratory course provides experience in basic techniques for the applications of the principles, methods, and instrumentation of chemistry to forensic problems. It covers topics in chemistry most commonly applicable to the everyday functions of a crime laboratory professional. Prerequisites: CHEM 125 and CHEM 366, or permission of the instructor. Corequisite: CHEM 425. 3 hours laboratory. 1 semester hour
-
3.00 Credits
A consideration of selected topics at an advanced level includes the areas of organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry. Subjects to be presented are determined by the mutual interests of students and staff. Prerequisite: junior or senior status and permission of instructor. 3 class hours. 3 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course in the organic and physical chemistry of high polymers. The following topics are discussed: polymer synthesis, molecular weight determinations, physical and mechanical properties of polymers, reactions of macromolecules, applications of specific polymer compositions. Prerequisite: CHEM 256, 386. 3 class hours. 3 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
This introduction to the structures, functions, and transformations occurring within living cells is in terms of established chemical principles. Emphasis is placed on the chemistry of biomacromolecules, thermodynamics, kinetics, and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions and selected aspects of molecular biology. Prerequisite: CHEM 256. 3 class hours. 3 semester hours
-
1.00 Credits
This course focuses on advanced synthesis and spectroscopic techniques. Applications of NMR, mass spectrometry, and Fourier Transform Infrared are studied. Advanced synthesis methods such as enantioselective Aldol reactions and Diels- Alder reactions, among others, will be discussed. Special emphasis is placed on understanding the theoretical basis of these instruments, operational techniques, the use of specialized methods to solve specific chemical problems, and the interpretation of spectral information. Prerequisite: CHEM 366 and 386. Corequisite: CHEM 463. 1 lecture hour. 1 semester hour
-
2.00 Credits
Students design and carry out a multistep chemical synthesis and use advanced spectroscopic techniques to follow the progress of the synthesis. This requires understanding the theoretical basis for NMR, Mass Spectrometry, and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. Techniques include electron ionization, chemical ionization, and high resolution mass spectrometry; H-1, C-13, DEPT, COSY, HETCOR, and other NMR experiments. Corequisite: CHEM 461. 6 laboratory hours. 2 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced overview of the chemistry of the elements. The course begins with an examination of chemical bonding in covalent, ionic, and metallic substances. It continues with a discussion of theories of acids and bases, the chemistry of the main group elements, coordination chemistry, and the chemistry of the transition elements. Prerequisite: CHEM 386 or permission of instructor. 3 semester hours
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course emphasizes advanced methods of synthesis (Schlenk-ware, dry-box, vacuum-line techniques) and characterization (FT-NMR, FT-IR, magnetic susceptibility, HPLC) in inorganic chemistry. Pre- or corequisite: CHEM 475. 3 laboratory hours. 1 semester hour
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to modern theories of the chemical bond. The course begins by reviewing the principles of quantum mechanics, then applies these principles, with appropriate approximations, to simple model systems, to atoms, and to increasingly complicated molecules. Topics include molecular orbital theory, valence bond theory, Hueckel theory, and molecular mechanics. Computer methods, particularly for semi-empirical and molecular mechanics calculations, will be emphasized throughout the course. Pre- or corequisite: CHEM 386 or permission of the instructor. 3 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
This subject-related work experience or other activity is offered only upon special application from the student and a supervising faculty member. Approval must be obtained in advance from the chemistry faculty and requires a specific outline of work to be done; the nature and extent of its academic relevance; and the academic and special preparation of the student for the proposed activity. Written approval must be obtained from the employer/ sponsor, and arrangements must be made for regular contact between the student and the supervising faculty member. The student is responsible for making all arrangements. Afinal report must be submitted upon completion, and a pass/fail grade will be assigned. The number of semester hours earned will depend on the extent of the approved activity (12 semester hours corresponds to full-time work for a semester). Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing, a GPA of at least 2.5 both in the major and cumulative in all courses, and approval of both the academic advisor of the student and the head of the Science Division. 3-12 semester hours
