-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the natural environment from a chemist's point of view and the evaluation of chemicals from an environmental point of view. This course is concerned with the chemistry of air, water, soil and the biosphere in both pristine and polluted states. Pollution prevention and mitigation schemes are considered. Lab experiments include local fieldwork. Two 3-hour laboratory periods weekly. Prerequisites: CHEM 301/301L. (may not be offered every year)
-
3.00 Credits
Applications of modern theoretical concepts to the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds. Among the topics covered are: linear free-energy relationships; acidity functions; mechanisms of nucleophilic and electrophilic substitutions; additions and eliminations; radical reactions; and pericyclic reactions. Three lectures weekly. Prerequisite: Chem 302L and 311. (May not be offered every year)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to concepts and methods in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Theory of NMR will be developed and applied to the design of one-dimensional and two-dimensional experimental pulse sequences. The laboratory will emphasize instrumental operation, data acquisition and processing, and practical applications of NMR methods to scientific problems. Two lectures and two-three-hour laboratory periods weekly. Prerequisite: Math 150, Chem 301, 301L. (may not be offered every year)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles, methods, and communication of chemical research. Lab work includes general and advanced techniques with considerable hands-on use of modern instruments, proper record-keeping, data management, and consideration of laboratory safety. Techniques for searching the chemical literature are included. This course fulfills the upper-division writing requirement. Students will write and edit a report in a format suitable for journal publication. One lecture and eight hours of laboratory research weekly. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. (every semester)
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced laboratory course with experiments and projects that integrate principles and methods in analytical, organic, and physical chemistry, with considerable emphasis on instrumental methods. This course fulfills the upper-division writing requirement. Two laboratory periods weekly. Prerequisite: CHEM 220 or Biol 300L, CHEM 301, 302/301L, 302L, and CHEM 311. (fall semester, may not always be offered as a "W" course)
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced laboratory course which integrates techniques and concepts from inorganic and physical chemistry plus, to a lesser extent, analytical chemistry. A wide variety of classical and modern methods of experimental chemistry, including both wet chemical and instrumental methods, will be used in experiments which show the interrelationships between these three areas of chemistry. Also, instruction in the proper methods of recording and reporting chemical experiments and practice in those methods will be included. This course fulfills the upper-division writing requirement. Two laboratory periods weekly. Prerequisites: CHEM 220 or Biol 300L, CHEM311 and CHEM 312 (may be taken concurrently). Chem 440 is strongly recommended. (spring semester, may not always be offered as a "W" course)
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of contemporary instrumental methods of chemical analysis, with emphasis on spectroscopic, electrochemical, and separation techniques. The theory, design, and operation of specific instruments will be discussed. Experiments and projects utilizing FTIR, NMR, GC- and LC-MS, HPLC, voltammetry, absorption, emission and fluorescence will be selected. This course fulfills the upper-division writing requirement. Two laboratory periods weekly. Prerequisites: Chem 220 or Biol 300L, Chem 302L, and Chem 311. (fall semester, may not always be offered as a "W" course)
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced laboratory course in which spectroscopic techniques are applied to biological problems in order to extract thermodynamic, kinetic and structural information. This information will then be correlated to function of the biomolecule. The techniques to be explored may include UV-Vis, CD, FTIR, NMR, MS, fluorescence spectroscopy and the computational methods necessary for data analysis. The fundamental principles and special considerations of their application to enzymes, proteins, DNA and other biomolecules will be presented in lecture and carried out in the laboratory. This course fulfills the upper-division writing requirement. Two laboratory periods weekly. Prerequisites: Chem 220 or Biol 300L, Chem 301, 302, 301L, 302L. Corequisities: Chem 311 and Chem 331 or consent of instructor. (spring semester, may not always be offered as a "W" course)
-
3.00 Credits
The principles of inorganic chemistry, such as atomic and molecular structure, bonding, acid-base theory, and crystal field theory, are examined. Utilizing these principles, the chemistry of the elements of the periodic table is discussed, including the kinetics and mechanisms of reactions. The various fields within inorganic chemistry, including solid-state, coordination and organometallic chemistry are introduced. Three lectures weekly. Prerequisites: CHEM 302 and CHEM 311. (can be taken concurrently) (fall semester)
-
0.00 Credits
As a part of the department's assessment program, each graduating senior is required to take the major field test in chemistry. A student who fails to take the major field test will be restricted from graduating. (every May)
