The Department of Chemistry offers graduate courses in the form of modules, which are short quarter courses of approximately six week duration with 3 lectures per week. Approximately 20-25 different modules are offered every year in four sets, two in the Fall term (Sept - Dec) and two in the Winter term (Jan - Apr). The detailed course requirements for the MSc and PhD degrees are described in our General Regulations. Brief Descriptions of All Graduate ModulesIn the following list, modules marked with a (+) sign may be taken more than once for credit. Please refer to the List of Current Courses to see the selection of modules offered during the current academic year.
Computer Applications in Chemistry Chem 703. Numerical Methods and Computational Chemistry
Topics in Analytical Chemistry Chem 708. Analytical Separation Science Chem 711. Chemometrics Chem 717. Main Group Chemistry Chem 727. Symmetry, Physical Properties and Electronic Structure of Solids Physical and Spectroscopic Methods in Chemistry Chem 730. Theory of Crystallography Chem 734. Applications of Mass Spectrometry in Organic Chemistry Chem 736. Molecular Structure Determination by Diffraction Methods Chem 737. Mass Spectrometry Theory This module covers the basic theory, operation and performance of mass spectrometry instrumentation, as well as brief discussions of selected applications. Both ionization (EI, CI, API, MALDI) and mass analysis (sector, quadrupole, ion trap, time-of-flight, FTICR) techniques are discussed. This module aims to provide the specialist and non-specialist student with the tools to choose the most appropriate mass spectrometric approach for their problems, understand the experiments, and interpret the results. (Instructor: Green) Chem 740. Basic Theory of NMR Chem 754. Physical Organic Chemistry Chem 760. Principles of Organic Synthesis Chem 765. Advanced Polymer Chemistry Chem 770. Molecular Electronic Structure Theory Chem 778. Solid State Surface Science (+) The origin of single ion magnetism is described as pertains to both d and f group elements. The van Vleck equation is derived and applied to non-interacting spin systems, i.e. paramagnetism. The case of interacting spins is treated for several cases depending upon the interests of individual class members. Recent topics have included dimers, trimer, etc., biomagnetism, low-dimensional systems, frustrated systems and supermagnetism. (Instructor: Greedan)
These are 3-unit (one term) level-4 undergraduate courses which are also offered for graduate credit (2 modules). Extra work is required of graduate students enrolled in these courses (e.g. extra essay, presentation, and/or extra questions on the final exam). Graduate students must obtain a minimum grade of B- for credit to be allowed. MSc students may take only one 600-level course for credit during the course of their graduate studies. A description of basic building blocks and reaction mechanisms involved in the (bio)synthesis of naturally occurring compounds. Three lectures; one term Prerequisite(s): CHEM BIO 3OA3 May be offered in alternate years. Chem 6OB3. Polymers and Organic Materials Fundamental and modern polymerization methods, industrially and biomedically relevant polymers and their uses, will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on structure-property relationships. Three lectures; one term Prerequisite(s): One of CHEM 2BB3, 2OB3, 2OD3, CHEM BIO 2OB3 May be offered in alternate years. Chem 6AA3. Recent Advances in Analytical Chemistry Recent advances in analytical chemistry will include an introduction to chemometrics and multivariate analysis, as well as new developments in separation science and mass spectrometry. Three lectures; one term Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3AA3 May be offered in alternate years. Chem 6PA3. Molecular Driving Forces The microscopic underpinnings of chemical, buiological and physical processes are explored using statistical thermodynamics, affording a deeper understandint of chamical and phase equilibria and kinetics. Three lectures; one term Prerequisite(s): CHEM 2PD3, 3PA3 May be offered in alternate years. Chem 6PB3. Computational Models for Electronic Structure and Chemical Bonding Modern computational methods for studying atoms, molecules, and meterials. Three lectures; one term Prerequisite: CHEM 3PA3 May be offered in alternate years.
The following modules are offered from time-to-time as student demand dictates. These are techniques-oriented modules for which no formal credit is offered.
