CHEM3301 Organometallic and Polymer Chemistry

The availability of units in Semester 1, 2, etc. was correct at the time of going to press but may be subject to change. For the most up-to-date information click on the Timetable link below.
 
Credit6 points  AvailabilitySemester 1 (See Timetable) Old unit code: 510.301
 
This unit is a study of metal-carbon, metalloid-carbon and metal-element reagents that are important synthetic intermediates. It emphasises applications of such compounds in synthesis, catalysis and the production of chemical feedstocks. Topics include polymer types, stereochemistry, preparation of polymers, kinetics of polymerisation, thermodynamics of polymerisation, and chemical and physical properties of polymers.
