| 529-0054-00L | Physical and Analytical Chemistry | 10 credits | 15P | E. C. Meister, R. Zenobi, M.‑O. Ebert, K. Eyer, B. Hattendorf, Y. Yamakoshi | |
| Abstract | Practical introduction to important experimental methods in physical and analytical chemistry. | ||||
| Learning objective | The students have to carry out selected experiments in physical chemistry and evaluate measurement data. They acquire a good knowledge about the most important practical techniques in analytical chemistry. Laboratory reports have to be written to each experiment. | ||||
| Content | Physical chemistry part: Short recapitulation of statistics and analysis of measurement data. Writing experimental reports with regard to publication of scientific works. Basic physical chemistry experiments (a maximum of six experiments from the following themes): 1. Phase diagrams (liquid-vapour and solid-liquid phase diagrams, cryoscopy); 2. electrochemistry and electronics; 3. quantum chemistry studies; 4. kinetics; 5. thermochemistry; 6. speed of sound in gases and liquids; 7. surface tension. Analytical chemistry part: 1. Introduction to the concept of sampling, quantitative elemental analysis and trace analysis, atomic spectroscopic methods, comparative measurements with electrochemical methods; 2. Separation methods, their principles and optimisation: comparison of the different chromatographic methods, effect of the stationary and mobile phases, common errors/artefacts, liquid chromatography, gas chromatography (injection methods). 3. Spectroscopic methods in organic structure determination: recording of IR and UV/VIS spectra, recording technique in NMR Mandatory exercises in spectroscopy in an accompanying tutorial 529-0289-00 "Instrumentalanalyse organischer Verbindungen" are an integral part of this course. | ||||

| 529-0242-00L | Supramolecular Chemistry | 6 credits | 3G | Y. Yamakoshi, B. M. Lewandowski | |
| Abstract | Principles of molecular recognition: cation/anion complexation and their technological applications; complexation of neutral molecules in aqueous solution; non-covalent interactions involving aromatic rings; hydrogen bonding; molecular sef-assembly - a chemical approach towards nanostructures; thermodynamics and kinetics of complexation processes; synthesis of receptors; template effects. | ||||
| Learning objective | The objective of this class is to reach an understanding of the nature and magnitude of the intermolecular interactions and solvation effects that provide the driving force for the association between molecules and/or ions induced by non-covalent bonding interactions. The lecture (2 h) is complemented by a problem solving class (1 h) which focuses on receptor syntheses and other synthetic aspects of supramolecular chemistry. | ||||
| Content | Principles of molecular recognition: cation complexation, anion complexation, cation and anion complexation in technological applications, complexation of neutral molecules in aqueous solution, non-covalent interactions involving aromatic rings, hydrogen bonding, molecular sef-assembly - a chemical approach towards nanostructures, thermodynamics and kinetics of complexation processes, synthesis of receptors, template effects. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Printed lecture notes will be available for purchase at the beginning of the class. Problem sets and answer keys will be available on-line. | ||||
| Literature | No compulsory textbooks. Literature for further reading will be presented during the class and cited in the lecture notes. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Course prerequisite: classes in organic and physical chemistry of the first two years of studies. | ||||
| 529-0289-00L | Spectra Interpretation of Organic Compounds | 2 credits | 2G | R. Zenobi, K. Eyer, N. Kumar, Y. Yamakoshi | |
| Abstract | Exercises in interpretation of molecular spectra | ||||
| Learning objective | Mastering the interpretation of molecular spectra. | ||||
| Content | In the first part of the lecture, the students work in small groups on solving particular problems in structure elucidation, interpreting mass, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, and UV/VIS spectra, optionally in discussion with the lecturers. In the second part the problems are solved by a lecturer. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Spectroscopic problems will be distributed | ||||
