Later Year Course
| Offered By | Research School of Chemistry |
|---|---|
| Academic Career | Undergraduate |
| Course Subject | Chemistry |
| Offered in | First Semester, 2011 and First Semester, 2012 |
| Unit Value | 3 units |
| Course Description |
This course offers a suite of advanced laboratory exercises in synthetic organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry designed to further develop the synthetic chemistry skills learnt in CHEM3061. The development of skills in the handling of air-sensitive compounds using the Schlenk technique and the purification of compounds using chromatographic techniques will be emphasised. |
| Learning Outcomes |
On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to: 1. work in a laboratory in organic, organometallic and coordination chemistry to a professional level, demonstrating effective laboratory safety and etiquette, especially in the areas of handling of air sensitive reagents, chromatographic techniques and spectroscopic identification2. demonstrate effective report writing, experimental design and data analysis 3. engage with the research culture presented in a chemical synthesis laboratory environment |
| Indicative Assessment |
Assessment will be based on:
|
| Workload |
Eight four-hour laboratory sessions held over a four week period, typically in semester weeks 8-11 |
| Areas of Interest | Chemistry |
| Requisite Statement | CHEM3061 |
| Science Group | C |
| Academic Contact | Dr Mal McLeod |
