stances (carbohydrates, lipids, fats, amino acids,
proteins, nucleic acids, and other compounds of
biological interest), and describes some of the
methods used to synthesize them and to establish
their structures. Prerequisite: Chem. 3450 or
consent of the instructor. Not credited without
completion of Chem. 4173.
4173. Biochemistry Laboratory I (1-3)
Introduces modern experimental techniques that
are most widely used in biochemical research.
Basic laboratory methods include the quantitative
separation, characterization, and identification
of some of the important types of
biochemical substances. Prerequisite: Credit or
registration in Chem. 4373.
4374. Biochemistry (3-0)
Discusses the energetics, pathways, and mechanisms
of metabolic reactions of carbohydrates,
lipids, fats, proteins, nucleic acids, and other
cellular constituents with particular reference to
enzyme and coenzyme systems. Prerequisite:
Chem. 3450 or consent of instructor. Not
credited without completion of Chem. 4174.
4174. Biochemistry Laboratory II (1-3)
Continues with biochemical laboratory methods
including enzyme kinetics, end-group analysis
of peptides, electrophoresis of proteins, and use
of radioisotopes in the study of biochemical
pathways. Prerequisite: Credit or registration
in Chem. 4373.
4385. Inorganic Chemistry (3-0)
Covers the general development of atomic
structure and bonding theory with specific application
to transition-metal complexes. The
spectra, stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms,
magnetic properties, thermodynamics, and reactions
of metal complexes are presented
and correlated. Prerequisite: Chem. 3396 or
consent of instructor. Not credited without
completion of Chem. 4185.
4185. Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (3-1)
Introduces representative types of inorganic preparations
involving various techniques, such as
electrolytic, non-aqueous solvent, high temperature,
and inert atmosphere, and high vacuum.
Includes an extensive study of properties using
infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy,
chromatography, polarimetry, conductivity, and
other instrumental methods. Prerequisite: Credit
or registration in Chem. 4385.
4386. Instrumental Analysis (2-6)
Covers the fundamental principles, scope and
limitations of the instrumentation used in solving
analytical problems in modern chemical research.
Laboratory experiments include potentiometric,
conductometric, coulometric, and amperometric
titrations; polarography; electrogravimetry; visible,
ultraviolet, infrared, and emission spectroscopy;
flame photometry; gas liquid partitionchromatography; X-ray analysis; and nuclear
counting systems. Prerequisite: Chem. 3396 or
consent or instructor.
4393. (4293) Introduction to Research (1-9 or 1-6)
Open to chemistry majors who elect to carry
out an experimental investigation related to the
research interest or project of a faculty member.
At the end of the semester, the student submits
a paper incorporating his experimental findings,
written according to the format of published
journal articles. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
Credit arranged, 2-3 hours; and may
be repeated up to a total of 6 hours.
4397. Introduction to Theoretical Chemistry (3-0)
Sets forth the theoretical principles of quantum
and statistical mechanics, and their application
for calculating and interpreting the structural,
spectral, and thermodynamic properties of molecules.
Discusses crystal structure and other
structural methods. Prerequisite: Chem. 3396
and senior standing.
4399. Modern Spectroscopy (3-0)
Considers the application and theoretical basis
for modern spectroscopy. Covers ultra-violet
and visible, infrared, Raman, and microwave
spectroscopy; and nuclear magnetic and electron
spin resonance. Presents application of introductory
quantum theory to spectroscopy, fundamental
group theory, molecular symmetry, chemical
bonding and molecular structure. Prerequisite:
Chemistry 3396 and senior standing.
For Non-Chemistry Majors and Minors
1311. Basic Chemistry (3-2)
Introduces some of the fundamentals of inorganic
chemistry. Includes chemical notation,
nature of atoms and molecules, properties of
selected elements and their compounds, periodic
table, artificial radioactivity and atomic energy,
industrial chemical processes and products. Primarily
for absolving the physical science requirement
and for home economics majors.
Credited without Chem. 1312.
1312. Basic Chemistry (3-2)
Continues with the fundamentals of organic
chemistry and physiological chemistry. Covers
petroleum, fuels, fats, soaps, dyes, explosives,
medicinals and pharmaceuticals, plastics, paints,
fertilizers, insecticides, vitamins, hormones, carbohydrates,
proteins, DNA and RNA. Completes
six hours for satisfying physical science requirements.
Prerequisite: Chem. 1311.
2431. introductory Organic Chemistry (3-4)
Gives a brief coverage of the field of modern
organic chemistry as a basis for related study in
agriculture and home economics. Prerequisite:
Chem. 1312 or 1412. (Not credited on major
or minor in chemistry.)60
