Theory, instrumentation, and application of methods such as atomic absorption, coulometry, emission spectrography, gas and liquid chromatography, IR and UV-VIS absorption spectrophotometry, and mass spectrometry to chemical analysis. Prereq: quantitative analysis; physical chemistry as a pre- or co requisite;/ or permission.

Fundamentals of synthetic organic methodology and applications in multiple syntheses. Fourth hour recitation session.

Bulk and surface structure of solids, experimental methods of surface characterization, molecule-surface interactions, principles of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. This course typically discusses adsorption/desorption kinetics, surface reaction mechanisms, adsorption isotherms, volcano plots, zeolite catalysis, applications to renewable energy, photovoltaics, nanoscience, all from a chemical standpoint.

A graduate course for Chemistry Master of Science students designed to provide them with expertise in preparing, organizing, and giving research presentations. Cr/F.
