There will be 44 scheduled lectures which includes an
introduction (on the first
day of class, Monday, August 22) and three one-hour-exams. The following
course schedule is preliminary and I might lengthen or shorten parts of
the course as I see fit depending on feedback. What this schedule
provides is primarily the sequence of the material we will cover. Note
that suggested reading and exercises & self-study will be specified in the
last two columns. These self-study assignments will be added as the
semester progresses. You should have read the chapters before that
lecture is given. We will omit parts of various chapters and
appropriate announcements will be made in class. And remember:
Chemistry can be great fun but good things never come easy!
Electron Spin Resonance (EPR)
and
Photoelectron Spectroscopy
are not yet included in this course but might be taught in future.
Please refer to the more comprehensive and permanently updated
bibliography on
Organic Spectroscopy
for details.
