3.00 Credits
Principles and applications of chemical thermodynamics are explored, including the concepts of internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, free energy, and chemical potential. Concepts are interpreted on a molecular level and applied to a variety of problems: chemical reactions, chemical equilibria, phase changes, solution chemistry, and bioenergetics. Statistical mechanics is introduced to demonstrate the connection between properties of individual molecules and the thermodynamic properties of macroscopic systems. Three hours of lecture and one three hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM 202 Organic Chemistry II or CHM 204 or 206 Honors Organic Chemistry II and MTH 122 Calculus II
-
3.00 Credits
Modern theories of atomic and molecular structure are covered at an advanced level. Particular emphasis is given to symmetry, ligand field theory, coordination chemistry, and applications of inorganic systems. Three hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM 202 Organic Chemistry II or CHM 204 or 206 Honors Organic Chemistry II.
-
0.50 Credits
Methods for achieving asymmetric synthesis and resolving racemic mixtures will be explored. This will include classical enantiomeric resolution, the use of chiral auxiliaries, chiral reagents, chiral starting materials, and the employment of stereoselective reactions. Key syntheses from primary literature that utilize these methods will serve as a framework to illustrate the chiral strategies. Students will present articles from primary literature. (Two 75 minute lecture/presentations per week). Prerequisite: CHM 202 Organic Chemistry II or CHM 204 or 206 Honors Organic Chemistry II
-
0.50 Credits
This is a lab course designed to introduce students to modern organic synthesis using a projectbased format. Each student will design and execute a multistep synthesis of a target molecule. Students will utilize the chemical literature and online literature searching protocols and will document their results with inclass presentations as well as written reports. Product analysis will include use of IR, NMR, GC/MS, and UV/Vis spectrometers. Significant use will also be made of molecular modeling. (One hour lecture, three hours of lab per week). Prerequisite: CHM 202 Organic Chemistry II or CHM 204 or 206 Honors Organic Chemistry II
-
0.50 Credits
Automated techniques and philosophies, as applied to the modern analytical laboratory, will be discussed. Automated analytical sample preparation, data acquisition, and data analysis methods will be explored both as reported in the primary literature and through handson experimentation in the laboratory. Robotic workstations for liquid handling and experimental design approaches will be used to systematically study sample preparation variables in the automated laboratory. Contemporary analytical separations will be used for sample analysis with an emphasis on pharmaceutical applications Preor corequisite: CHM 312 Analytical Chemistry II or permission of instructor
-
0.50 Credits
Students will explore the workings of lasers and how chemists take advantage of their properties to probe the dynamics and energies of chemical reactions. The course will begin with some commercial applications of lasers and progress rapidly to the discussion of femtosecond spectroscopy and how it is being used to investigate the breaking of bonds in real time. Prerequisite: CHM 321 Physical Chemistry I or permission of instructor
-
0.50 Credits
The chemistry of compounds containing metalcarbon bonds will be explored. Topics will include the structure and bonding of organometallic compounds, their reactions and reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, and their use in industrial processes and organic synthesis. Preor corequisite: CHM 331 Inorganic Chemistry
-
4.00 Credits
Majors are eligible for internship programs with the approval of the department.
-
4.00 Credits
Uses a topical approach to explore issues and controversies raised by the powerful presence of mass media in contemporary society. Provides students with analytical tools necessary to think critically and selfconsciously about media. Develops understanding of the forces which shape mass media, their products, and their effects on society. Topics that may be explored include children and television, violence in the media, media and social inequality, news, audience response, and resistance to mediated messages. This course does not satisfy a major requirement or elective. Meets general academic requirement B.
-
4.00 Credits
Examines influences of mass media on participatory democracy and its cultural forms. Introduces students to social science approaches to the study of communication phenomena, including the logic of inquiry, standards of evidence, and grounds for making claims about communicative behaviors. Explores landmark studies within the discipline. Topics may include media effects, persuasion, cultivation theory, agendasetting, and opinion leadership. Meets general academic requirement B (and W which applies to 202 only).
