Structure Determination by X-ray Crystallography

Undergraduate

X-ray diffraction by crystalline materials to determine the structures of small molecules. Topics may include crystal growth, selection and mounting, X-ray generation, crystal symmetry and space groups, X-ray diffraction, the phase problem, structure solution and refinement, and interpretation and presentation of structural data. Course Format: Lectures, 3 hours per week. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 2P32; three CHEM credits numbered 2(alpha)90 or above Course Notes: CHEM 4P30 recommended. May be taken concurrently. This course may be offered in multiple modes of delivery. The method of delivery will be listed on the academic timetable, in the applicable term.
