CH 306

Modern Physical Organic Chem

The course consists of three integral parts: classical physical organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and organic photochemistry. Classical physical chemistry revisits reactivity of organic molecules and factors influencing reactivity. Supramolecular chemistry explores key principles for understanding and exploiting a wealth of molecular architectures. Photochemistry centres on physicochemical principles of interaction of organic molecules with light. Prerequisites: CH203 or CH205 or CH207, (CH213 or CH215 recommended).
