Warning—this course site is for information transfer for the course. It changes and is updated regularly

Mostly it is useful for lecture notes, problem sets and solutions as well as old exams, and is always under construction!!

--returning to it for periodic review, rather than printing this page, is suggested

Lecture Notes

Periodically I will make pdf versions of my lecture notes available. These will be often updated after the class period due to constraints of constructing readable versions. Last years notes are available here (marked -12) and will be replaced after class with the minor updates (color change and marked as -14) as they get made.  Link to 2012 Web Site

1. Kinetics,  Diffusion and Transport -14 (0) phenomena –- very brief here, Atkins Ch.20 has deeper coverage

a.    Experimental Kinetics-14 (1), rate laws, Arrhenius, examples from old texts

b.     Mechanisms section:

                                                       i.     Mechanisms-14 (2),

1.     Review summary(week 1&2)-09

B.  Bio-IR example slides-07(2)

C.    Vibrational spectral techniques slides-07(3)

[Suggestion:  Go through these slides (#1,2,3) on your own, for background purposes.  We covered much of it in class, see if you can identify the overlap.]
