Instrumental Methods in Synthetic Chemistry

3 ch (3L) · Undergraduate

A series of experimental projects that will provide students with an opportunity to do laboratory work in predefined areas of synthetic inorganic and organic chemistry and gain practical experience with modern instrumentation, including for example powder X-ray diffractometers, thermal gravimetric analyzers, photoluminescence, absorption, infra-red, and NMR spectrometers. Some emphasis will be placed on supporting original chemical research. WHMIS certification required (see beginning of Chemistry Courses section for details).
