Basic concepts and principles of chemistry and their applications in chemistry and closely-related fields. The first term emphasizes the understanding of chemical reactions through atomic and molecular structure. This is a university level course, treating the material in sufficient depth so that students can solve chemical problems and can understand the principles involved in their solution. It includes an introduction to condensed matter. This course is suitable for majors or non-majors and is recommended to satisfy either major or pre-professional requirements for general chemistry. This course is presented for students with high school chemistry and calculus. Students with a lesser background than this should take CHEM 100. Prerequisite: Students with credit for CHEM 100 may not enroll in CHEM 101. Credit is not awarded for both CHEM 101 and 100.

This course will provide an introduction of structure-property relationships in materials chemistry on length scales from atomic dimension up to the microscale and then draw on examples of Chemical design for "Energy and Environmental Sustainability." We will introduce the "12 Principles of Green Chemistry" and "12 Principles of Green Engineering" as a guide to modern materials chemistry design and follow a trajectory that proceeds with increasing length scales of ordering in the solid state. We will introduce techniques of x-ray, neutron, electron, and ion beam based scattering, real space imaging and spectroscopies and use these to explore non-crystalline materials (amorphous, glasses, and time permitting quasicrystals and aperiodic systems) and crystalline solids. Studies will proceed from atomic scales through nanoscale, mesoscale, and micro-scale discussing the emergence of band structure and delcocalized electronic and optical properties that emerge due to the finite scale of ordering and influence of the surface. Select examples will be drawn from advances in materials for in solar energy utilization with photochemistry and photoelectrochemistry and materials for photovoltaic and enabling advances electrochemical energy conversion and storage.

This course, for graduate students, encompasses topics in fundamental and applied photochemistry and photophysics from the fields of organic chemistry and chemical biology. Key topics and concepts will include basic photophysics, interactions of light with matter, UV-Vis absorption and emission spectroscopy, energy transfer, kinetics/dynamics, Jablonski diagrams, electron transfer, organic photochemistry, and applications in organic chemistry and chemical biology. These topics and concepts will be covered in the context of frontier applications including synthetic chemistry organic photochemistry, molecular imaging, and optogenetic tools among others.

This course will provide a fundamental understanding of symmetry, the character tables, how to derive these, and apply them in spectroscopy, and molecular orbital diagrams. The course will require some fundamental understanding of matrix algebra, and apply concepts of symmetry to derive character tables, predict spectroscopic properties of molecules, and derive molecular orbitals diagrams including hydridized orbitals.
