A course dealing with the concepts of inorganic chemistry with emphasis on atomic structure, periodicity, nomenclature, bonding, reaction mechanisms and acid-base theories.
A discussion of nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopies, and mass spectrometry in the determination of the structure and stereochemistry of organic molecules. Prerequisites: CHE 231 and CHE 232.
The practice of synthesis, purification, and characterization of organic compounds in the modern chemistry laboratory. Laboratory, six hours.
A description of relationships between molecular structure and optical and electronic properties, focusing on changes in properties moving from single molecules to aggregates to bulk solid states. Electronic structure and photonic properties of organic molecules, solid-state polymers and interfaces will be considered. Material characteristics will be studied in the types of devices where organic materials show promising performance: displays, lighting, transistors, energy conversion/ storage applications, and non-linear optics technologies.
