This semester will focus on several areas of chemistry including organometallic chemistry, organic synthesis, bioinorganic chemistry, enzyme kinetics, metal complexation, and stereoselective reactions. We will be flexible and amend the schedule if necessary. You will find a review of the general safety rules and practices for laboratory work.
Safety unquestionably is our most important concern.
Never, under any circumstances, work alone in the lab. The laboratory will be open everyday from 10 am - 6 pm for your convenience but please make sure that one of us is around. Again, it is important that you not work alone. You will be recording spectra of the compounds you synthesize. There is a great deal of flexibility for this and you can work around your schedule.
