Results for CHEM 1: Structure and Reactivity

First lecture class in summer organic series. Organic chemistry, functional groups, hydrocarbons, stereochemistry, thermochemistry, kinetics and chemical equilibria. Recitation. Prerequisite: 31 A, B or 31 X or an AP Chemistry score of 5.

Organic chemistry, functional groups, hydrocarbons, stereochemistry, thermochemistry, kinetics, chemical equilibria. Recitation. Prerequisite: 31A,B, or 31X, or an AP Chemistry score of 5.

The structure and reactivity of mono- and polyfunctionalized molecules; retrosynthetic analysis and multi-step chemical synthesis. Course will emphasize deductive logic and reasoning skills through conceptual learning. Students gain an appreciation for the profound impact of organic chemistry on humankind in fields ranging from biology and medicine to gastronomy, agriculture, and materials science. A three hour lab section provides hands on experience with modern chemical methods for preparative and analytical chemistry. Prerequisite: Chem 33

Continuation of 221. Modern synthetic organic chemistry with an emphasis on structure, reactivity, and stereocontrol. Prerequisite: 221 or consent of instructor.

Primarily intended for first-year graduate students, as a review of some of the basic concepts in inorganic chemistry. Specific topics covered will include: symmetry, group theory, electronic structure of molecules and solids, and reactivity of coordination complexes. Prerequisite: Advanced undergraduate-level inorganic chemistry

(Formerly 124/224) Introduction to heterogeneous catalysis, including models of surface reactivity, surface equilibria, kinetics of surface reactions, electronic and geometrical effects in heterogeneous catalysis, trends in reactivity, catalyst structure and composition, electro-catalysis and photo-catalysis. Selected applications and challenges in energy transformations will be discussed. Prerequisites: CHEM 31AB or 31X, CHEM 171, CHEM 175 or CHEMENG 170 or equivalents. Recommended: CHEM 173.
