This laboratory course is designed to be taken concurrently with CHEM 354 and will involve experiments in the areas of thermodynamics and kinetics, to reinforce what is taught in the lecture course. Three hours laboratory. This laboratory course is designed to be taken concurrently with CHEM 355 and will involve experiments in the areas of quantum mechanics, molecular spectroscopy, and crystallography. Three hours laboratory. A study of reaction mechanism, synthetic methods, and structure elucidations.
Emphasis is placed on correlation of structure and reactivity and on stereochemistry.
Three hours lecture. This laboratory course will involve complex synthesis of inorganic and organic compounds. Sophisticated techniques and contemporary instrumentation are used in the synthesis, analysis, and characterization of these inorganic and organic compounds. An introduction to modern cellular biochemistry. Three hours lecture.
