Continuation of Chemistry 30 including an emphasis on synthesis, and the chemistry of aromatic compounds, carbonyl compounds, and important classes of biomolecules. Introduction to chemical equilibrium, classical, and instrumental methods of chemical analysis, including separations, and statistical treatment of data. Laboratory emphasis is on quantitation of analytes in sample mixtures. Laboratory emphasis is on synthesis and characterization of inorganic complexes and compounds.
Molecular recognition is an essential process in all biological systems.
Theory and practice of modern methods of analysis with emphasis on spectroscopic, chromatographic, electrochemical, and surface science techniques, as well as electronic measurements. Fundamentals of quantum mechanics and its application to chemical bonding and spectroscopy. The application of group theory to chemistry. Chemistry 152 may be taken concurrently. High polymers preparation, mechanisms, design, structure, and properties.
