| Course Description | This course is foundational to all Level 3 studies in Chemistry. It will commence with the use of spectroscopic techniques, particularly IR & NMR, and mass spectrometry for the determination of chemical structures. A review of molecular symmetry with applications to molecular orbitals and spectroscopy will be described, and the spectroscopic interaction of matter with varying forms of radiation will be examined, including the phenomena of absorption, fluorescence and phosphorescence. A variety of spectroscopies will be explored in detail. Strategies for solving problems related to chemical composition, reaction mechanisms and structure will be emphasised, with a particular focus on physical organic chemistry and statisticsin chemistry. Strategy and tactics used in the synthesis of new molecular architectures will be introduced, and there will be an emphasis on developing a logical approach to planning a synthesis. This includes an introduction to supramolecular chemistry and design of molecular devices and an introduction to fundamental aspects of organometallic chemistry. Finally, aspects relating to the chemistry and structural analysis of proteins will be discussed. |
