Warning—the following site is a simple information transfer for the course.

Mostly it is useful for problem sets and solutions as well as old exams, and is always under construction!!

--returning to it for periodic review, rather than printing, is suggested

Lecture Notes

Periodically I will make pdf versions of my lecture notes available. These will be often updated after the class period due to constraints of constructing readable versions. Last years notes are available here before class and will be replaced with the updates (marked as -09) as they get made.  Link to 2008 Web Site

1. Kinetics, Review of Diffusion and Transport phenomena

a.     Experimental Kinetics-09(1), rate laws, Arrhenius, examples from old texts

b.      Mechanisms section:

                                                                         i.      Mechanisms-09(2),

1.    Review summary(week 1&2)-09

2.    Mechanism Examples(3)-09 -revised

                                                                      ii.      Methods-08 (3a) -- Extra:  Powerpoint Research Slides—

a.     T-jump(IR-hairpin),

b.      RapidMixing08,

                                                                        iii.      Theoretical Kinetics-09(4),

c.     Biological kinetics topics,

i.       Michaelis-Menton Enzyme Kinetics-09(5),

ii.     Inhibition-09 (6),

iii.  Enzyme review(09-6a) includes Added topics –allosteric, photobio, diffusion

Advice :  Check out the simulations for coupled reactions and Michaelis Menton that are in Chemistry Place—Supplement to Engel book (and be sure you understand what is happening in the plots). Watching and thinking is sufficient, not to be handed in.

2.    Quantum Mechanics

a.       Principles: Old QM and Postulates-09 (7)

b.      Model problems

1.      Boxes and Barriers(8)

2.    Harmonic Oscillators(9)

3.      Special Demonstration Slides

4.      Quantum Example problems

c.       Atomic QM examples

1.    H-atom problem(10)-09 –also see review notes 10-14-09 and those above for center of mass and atoms

2.      Multi-electron atoms(11)rev-09— review problem solving-10-19-09,

3.    Bonding - Molecular orbital theory

a.       diatomics(12),

b.      polyatomics(13) plus Addition on VB and VSEPR

4.     Spectroscopy – extra notes on separation of electronic and vibrational motion

a.     Vibrational Spectroscopy total (14), includes: 

1.    IR group frequencies and IR-Raman Examples(ro-vib)

2.      Vibrational spectra background slides(1)

3.    Bio-IR example slides(2)

4.      Vibrational spectral techniques slides(3)

[Suggestion:  Go through these slides (#2,3,4) on your own, for background purposes.  We covered much of it in class, see if you can identify the overlap.]

b.      Electronic Spectra:

1.    Absorbance  (15),

2.      Fluorescence, CD (16)

3.     Electronic and CD Spectroscopy Slides (4)—PowerPoint!

[suggestion: one way to help review the final topics of the course is go through these slides and see if you can understand the concepts being described.]

1.      electronic spectra--CD (part a)

2.      Vibrational CD (part b)

c. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (EXTRA!)
