Advanced Synthesis Laboratory

Catalog description

Experimental investigation of advanced synthetic methods for the preparation, separation and analysis of inorganic, organometallic and organic compounds with an emphasis on the former two types of materials. The development of skills and understanding for the application of complex procedures and techniques common in current practice, including airless chemistry and catalysis, as well as the exploration and application of modern spectroscopic and diffraction methods, including vibrational, electronic and NMR spectroscopies and powder X-ray diffraction. One lecture and two laboratory periods per week. Prerequisite(s): A CHM 221 and A CHM 223. Course fee applies. Consult the Schedule of Classes.
