Later Year Course
| Offered By | Research School of Chemistry |
|---|---|
| Academic Career | Undergraduate |
| Course Subject | Chemistry |
| Offered in | Second Semester, 2011 and Second Semester, 2012 |
| Unit Value | 6 units |
| Course Description |
This course will assume a knowledge and understanding of the material presented in Chemical Structure and Reactivity 1. The course will continue to develop an integrated approach to chemical education through instruction in theoretical and practical aspects of inorganic and organic chemistry. The organic component of the course will be centred on the important area of carbonyl chemistry and highlight the significance and applications of this area of chemistry. In particular the significance of carbonyl chemistry in biological systems and medicine will be developed. The inorganic chemistry component of the course will provide an introduction to organometallic chemistry. Topics to be covered will include the structure and reactivity of main group organometallic reagents and the structure and reactivity of organotransition metal complexes. Laboratory experiments are designed to provide augmentation and/or complementation of the material taught in lectures. Students will be exposed to important techniques in synthetic chemistry and become adept at their implementation. |
| Learning Outcomes |
On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to: 1. assess organic reactions and place them into reaction categories2. understand organic reaction mechanisms and be able to evaluate reaction outcomes 3. critique structure and reactivity of main group organometallic reagents 4. evaluate structure and reactivity of organotransition metal complexes 5. be confident and proficient in a laboratory environment |
| Indicative Assessment |
Assessment will be based on:
|
| Workload | A maximum of 33 hours of lectures/tutorials and 32 hours of laboratory classes. |
| Areas of Interest | Chemistry |
| Requisite Statement | CHEM2202 (CSR 1) |
| Incompatibility | CHEM2103 and CHEM2104. |
