| 327-0309-00L | Organic Chemistry in Materials Science | 2 credits | 1G | W. R. Caseri, P. J. Walde | |
| Abstract | This lecture allows the students to consolidate the basics of organic chemistry through selected exercises. | ||||
| Objective | Consolidation of the basics of organic chemistry. | ||||
| Content | This lecture consists predominantly of exercises and serves mainly to prepare the students intensively for aspects in materials science, based on the lecture Chemie II. A large number of questions will be provided, which will partially be discussed in the lecture while the other part is devoted to self-study. | ||||
