Organic chemistry, Advanced Organic Synthesis, and Structural Chemistry |
| Course Description: |
|
This course is primarily designed for postgraduate students majoring in organic chemistry, also suitable for postgraduate students majoring in environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry, or energy chemistry as a selected course. Based on the basic theory of organic photochemistry and the basic knowledge of common chemical reactivity, this course focuses on the practical applications and the main investigation methods of organic photochemistry. Emphasis is placed on the main photochemical issues in life processes, the photochemical performances related to energy environment and the chiral synthesis of drugs, as well as the main spectroscopic detection techniques. It is a foundation subject for the fields of organic photochemistry, photophysics, opto-functional materials, and photobiology. It is also helpful for researchers in fields of polymer chemistry, environmental chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry. |
