2 credits (Fall - 2nd half of semester) This course will familiarize the student with the diverse and fascinating characterization techniques available today for determining the structures and properties of inorganic molecules and materials. The utility and limitations of each technique will be emphasized using examples from recent chemistry literature. At the end of the course, each student should be able to identify the most favorable physical methods to analyze and properly describe a given inorganic molecule or material that they might encounter in their research projects. Familiarity with group theory (CHEM 415) is recommended but not required.

(4 credits) (Previously Physical Organic Chemistry) is an exploration of the advanced concepts, principles, and practices of organic chemistry, with a focus on the defining relationships between molecular structure, reactivity, and function. You (the student) will take an active role in defining questions, evaluating evidence, weighing arguments, developing and testing hypotheses, and communicating these complex topics to a scientific audience. This study will emphasize electronic structure and bonding, stereoelectronics, stereochemistry and conformational analysis, reaction energetics, and mechanisms of organic reactions including pericyclic reactions and the chemistry of reactive intermediates The course is suitable as a companion course for CHEM 419, 434, and 435 and will highlight the relationships with related areas including organometallic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and biological chemistry. This course is designed for beginning graduate students and upper-level undergraduate students. A strong background in introductory organic chemistry (CHEM 171/172 or 203/204 or equivalent), including a solid knowledge of standard reaction mechanisms and molecular orbital theory, will be assumed as a prerequisite. Class will meet for two 75-Minute sessions each week; co-registration and attendance in one additional 75-minute workshop per week is requires. (Fall)

This course covers the basic theory and experimental practice of spectroscopy in molecules and condensed matter. A general review of electromagnetic waves is followed by classical and quantum mechanical descriptions of the interaction between light and matter. These basic principles are then applied to vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. This course will also cover the principles of kinetic analysis in the context of time-resolved spectroscopies used to quantify the dynamics of photoexcited species. We will refer to examples from the literature to illustrate the experimental implementation and interpretation of advanced spectroscopic techniques. A strong background in quantum mechanics (CHEM 251 or equivalent) and a basic familiarity with chemical kinetics will be assumed as a prerequisite.
