Basic Principles of Chemistry

Professor

Simeen Sattar

Schedule

Tu Th 10:30 am - 12:30 pm HEG 102

Lab A: Tu 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm HEG 204

Lab B: Wed 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm HEG 204

An introduction to the composition, structure, and properties of matter. Central concepts in the second semester are energy transfer, spontaneity, and change (thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, and kinetics). The laboratory stresses basic techniques and quantitative applications of topics discussed in class. Concurrent enrollment in calculus is recommended for students who intend to go on in chemistry.

Schedule

Mon 1:30 pm -4:00 pm HEG 204

2 credits This course provides an independent laboratory experience for interested students concurrently enrolled in Chemistry 102. Projects from past years have included synthesis and analysis of coordination compounds, enzyme kinetics, analysis of environmental samples, and designing and testing new experiments for Chemistry 101-102.

Organic Chemistry

Professor

Schedule

Tu Th 10:30 am - 12:30 pm HEG 106

Lab A: Tu 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm ROSE 205

Lab B: Th 1:30 pm -5:00 pm ROSE 205

Structure and reactions of specific types of organic compounds will be studied and interrelationships will be developed to provide an integrated understanding of organic chemistry. General principles and reaction mechanisms will be emphasized, but the accumulation and utilization of factual material will also be expected. The laboratory will be coordinated with classroom topics and should provide direct experience with many reactions and concepts. The lab is also intended to develop familiarity with experimental design, techniques, and instrumental methods such as chromatography and spectroscopy

Physical Chemistry

Professor

Simeen Sattar

Schedule

Mon Wed 10:30 am - 12:30 pm ROSE 113

This course continues a modern, molecular approach to the subject. In the second semester, statistical mechanics is developed as the link between quantum chemistry (discussed in Chemistry 411) and equilibrium thermodynamics and chemical kinetics, this semester's main topics. Carefully chosen experiments illustrate these topics.

Title

Organometallics

Professor

Craig Anderson

Schedule

Tu 1:30 pm -3:30 pm HEG 201
The goal of this course will be to integrate material from inorganic and organic chemistry to provide a basis for understanding the rich chemistry of the metal-carbon bond. The material will consist mainly of an examination of various organometallic reaction mechanisms, including substitution, oxidative addition, reductive elimination, and insertion, combined with a survey of the structure and reactivity of the important types of organometallic ligands. Special topics such as organometallic photochemistry, catalysis, and the use of organometallic reagents in organic synthesis will also be covered.
