Mechanism drawing with arrows to denote the movement of an electron density will be a unifying theme. The course is divided into two parts. The first part will be an overview of organic bonding (basic molecular orbital theory, anomeric effect), structure (bond lengths, bond angles, conformational analysis), and properties (electronegativity, nucleophilicity, electrophilicity, acidity, basicity). The second part will be a brief overview of current computational methods including molecular mechanics, Hartree Fock, and density functional calculations. The focus will be on practical applications rather than the theory behind the calculations; students will be able to assess which calculations are most appropriate for a given task.

CHEM 5640-001 Organometallics Karen Ila Goldberg
Patrick Walsh
This course is focused on molecular species that contain metal-carbon bonds, and the role of these compounds in catalytic processes and organic synthesis. Aspects of the synthesis, structure and reactivity of important classes of organometallic compounds such as metallo alkyl, aryl, alkene, alkylidene and alkylidyne complexes are surveyed for the d and f block metals. Emphasis is placed on general patterns of reactivity and recurring themes for reaction mechanisms.
CHEM 6010-001 Chemical Information Judith N Currano CANCELED This course examines the structure and organization of the chemical literature and introduces techniques of searching this literature, focusing on the logic and thought processes necessary for effective information retrieval. Each technique is illustrated using information tools available at the University of Pennsylvania, and we take an "under the hood" look at the organization and functionality of each tool introduced. Students should choose a course section based on their preferred area of chemistry research: organic, inorganic, biological, and physical chemistry; all four sections are taught at a level appropriate for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Topics vary by section, but all students learn the basics of subject, author, structure, and reaction searching, and a unit on ethics in publication and scholarly communication completes the course.

CHEM 6011-001 Chemical Information for Biological Chemists Judith N Currano This course examines the structure and organization of the chemical literature in the field of biological chemistry and introduces techniques used to search this literature, focusing on the logic and thought processes necessary for effective information retrieval. The course takes an "under the hood" look at the organization and functionality of a variety of different databases and search systems, and, while learning information retrieval skills, students gradually become familiar with the structure of the chemical literature, the purposes of each genre, and the steps of the scientific publication process. Search skills are taught using a combination of lecture and laboratory activities, and students learn advanced text-based search techniques, protein and nucleotide sequence and structure similarity search strategies, basic substructure and reaction search strategies, and methods of retrieving property information and profiling substances by their properties. Students will also undertake a detailed examination protein and small molecule crystal structure databases. In addition to search skills, the students are exposed to strategies for choosing a publication venue; the use and limitations of citation information when evaluating authors, institutions, and journals; and the basic principles behind peer review. The semester closes with a brief introduction to personal data management and an in-depth discussion of the ethics surrounding scientific communication.
The course is taught at a level appropriate for graduate students and advanced undergraduates and requires permission of the instructor to register. Undergraduate students should have taken two semesters of organic chemistry prior to enrolling. Students should have an interest in biochemistry or molecular biology research.
CHEM 6014-001 Chemical Information for Physical Chemists Judith N Currano F 10:15 AM-11:14 AM This course examines the structure and organization of the chemical literature in the fields of physical and theoretical chemistry chemistry and introduces techniques used to search this literature, focusing on the logic and thought processes necessary for effective information retrieval. The course takes an "under the hood" look at the organization and functionality of a variety of different databases and search systems, and, while learning information retrieval skills, students gradually become familiar with the structure of the chemical literature, the purposes of each genre, and the steps of the scientific publication process. Because of the diversity of research foci in physical and theoretical chemistry, the course is survey in nature, devoting time to a wide variety of tools and search strategies and demonstrating Penn’s collections in chemistry, mathematics, physics, materials science, and engineering. In addition to teaching search skills, we briefly examine methods of choosing a publication venue and the use and limitations of citation information when evaluating authors, institutions, and journals.
