CHEM3416 Lab Work with Integrated BSc Project
This module is not approved as a discovery module
On completion of this module students will have:
- undertaken advanced experimental work, with due attention to safety, in the chemical laboratory;
- manipulated advanced apparatus and record data for subsequent analysis;
- synthesized molecules of some structural complexity;
- competently handled air-sensitive materials and used them safely in synthetic methods;
- determined structure using spectroscopic data;
The practical component of the core experiments incorporates the following themes, and students completing the module will be able to demonstrate:
(a) confidence in safely handling reagents/solvents, including those that are air-sensitive and/or pose significant hazards;
(b) ability to undertake advanced experimental work, with due attention to safety;
(c) ability to manipulate advanced laboratory apparatus and record data for subsequent analysis;
(d) ability to synthesize molecules of some structural complexity;
(e) determine structure using spectroscopic data;
(f) an understanding of the most common practical techniques and their proper application in the laboratory situation;
(h) a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the major areas of synthetic chemistry.
(i) a knowledge of current techniques and methodologies appropriate to synthetic chemistry, with hands on practical experience of some of these
Practical laboratory skills at advanced level
Students will undertake a selection of experiments in the areas of inorganic, organic and/or physical chemistry, appropriate to the level 3 theory modules and designed for the general development of investigative laboratory techniques.
