Advanced general chemistry I
This course comprises of two parts. The bases of the thermodynamics of equilibria and of the kinetics of reactions are introduced. The first notions of quantum chemistry on electrons and bonds, exemplified in organic chemistry, are presented in the second part.
Advanced general chemistry II
Fundamental knowledge on the reactivity of organic compounds and their identification by mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance.
Sustainable chemistry and engineering in Industry
In the course given by experts from the Swiss Chemical industry, the students will be introduced in key concepts of sustainable chemistry and chemical engineering of industrial relevance. They will be able to learn from real hands-on problems and to better understand the challenges faced in industry
Asymmetric catalysis for fine chemicals synthesis
The asymmetric synthesis of fine chemicals is a research topic of growing importance for the synthesis of modern materials, drugs and agrochemicals. In this lecture, the concepts of asymmetric catalysis for fine chemical synthesis are introduced.
Frontiers in Sustainable Chemical Synthesis
The students will become familiar with the most recent progress in sustainable synthetic chemistry, covering a broad rang of topics such as catalysis, heterocyclic chemistry, stereoselective synthesis and new synthetic tools.
