Special note: Students who would like to do this unit but have a timetable problem with either

tutorials or laboratory work should please consult the Head of School or unit coordinator.

Builds on KRA110 and consolidates the theoretical and practical framework required by students who intend to major in chemistry or who need additional chemistry to support their studies in other science areas. Emphasis is placed on the application of modern techniques in the elucidation of chemical structure, the physical and chemical properties and synthesis of organic, bio-inorganic, inorganic and organometallic compounds

(especially coordination complexes and elements in the main group), an introduction to solid state chemistry and the mechanisms of chemical reactions. The physical chemistry lectures provide some of the necessary theoretical background in kinetics, thermodynamics, photochemistry and electrochemistry required to understand the behaviour of chemical systems. The laboratory program reinforces concepts introduced in lectures and gives students experience in good laboratory practice.
